Today on Wickedly Judge, we recap the shocking case of Garrett Arrowood, a man convicted of murder in Florida despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. His case highlights deep flaws in the justice system- prosecutorial misconduct, manipulated forensic evidence, and a legal process that values convictions over truth.

Prosecutors changed the time of death to fit their narrative, hid evidence proving Garrett had an alibi, and reduced the jury from 12 to 6 members to increase the odds of conviction. Meanwhile, the State Attorney General for the district was later convicted of bribery, extortion, wire fraud, and tax fraud-but only served 11 months in prison. Garrett? He remains behind bars.

We break down the junk science that contributed to his conviction, expose how the system resists correcting wrongful convictions, and discuss what needs to change. Most importantly, we share how YOU can help.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The manipulation of forensic evidence, including time of death estimates
• The use of debunked forensic techniques like bite mark analysis and faulty hair comparisons
• The failures of the post-conviction process and why courts rarely overturn wrongful convictions.
• The urgent need for reform, including independent innocence commissions and access to forensic re-examination
• How you can take action to support Garrett and others like him

Take Action:

• Share Garrett's story and raise awareness about wrongful convictions
• Contact lawmakers to demand post-conviction reform
• Support innocence organizations working to free the wrongfully convicted
