True Crime Tuesday presents Triple Jeopardy: Three Strikes: But Not Out with Dr. Rita Ali!

Rita Ali was a distinguished Philadelphia socialite and among the few African American women boxing PR professionals who hobnobbed with such famous fighters as Muhammad Ali, Michael Spinks, and Mike Tyson, who is now her son-in-law. Then it all came crashing down when she — along with her daughter and son — was wrongly convicted and imprisoned for allegedly funneling public funds through a partnership between the Sister Clara Muhammad School and the Community College of Philadelphia. The indictment alleged that the defendants profited off of a ghost employee scam to provide adult education classes. “I was convicted and sentenced three times on virtually the same charges for a crime I didn’t commit, which amounted to triple jeopardy,” she says. She is the author of “Triple Jeopardy: 3 Strikes But Not Out,” and a life coach and founder of the nonprofit We 2 Matter, which provides resources for previously incarcerated women.

Dr. Ali joins TCT today to talk about her illustrious past, why the government focused in on her and her children, prison life, and how she turned a negative experience in prison into a positive experience helping other women who are incarcerated.

PLUS, AN ALL-NEW DUMB CRIMES/STUPID CRIMINALS WITH BEER CITY BRUISER!
