In this episode, we take a look into the story of Melvin Quinney — a father once convicted of indecency with a child — his claim of innocence, and his eventual exoneration.

Through his own words, we revisit a “Satanic Panic”–era case and explore what it means to be presumed innocent, yet still wrongfully convicted.

This is Melvin Quinney’s voice of innocence.

Hosted by criminologists Dr. Rashaan DeShay and Dr. Katherine Polzer.
