On today’s kick-off episode of The Wall, we’re taking an independent and objective look at the cases that could haunt Kamala Harris — the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate — in the weeks and months to ahead.

Join Ron Chapman and Sean Weiss as they dig into the cases of Kevin Cooper and Jamal Trulove, which reveal the systemic flaws and prosecutorial misconduct that lead to wrongful convictions.
It’s an unfiltered conversation on how political ambitions can compromise justice, the dangers of relying solely on DNA evidence, the critical need for accountability in the legal system, and beyond.
