In this moving conclusion to Eric Anderson’s story, we pick up right where we left off: Eric learns he’s going home—just four hours before his release—after nearly a decade of wrongful imprisonment. With powerful honesty, Eric shares the whirlwind of emotions, the surreal return to freedom, and the beginning of a new fight: life after exoneration.

Rather than retreat, Eric steps into advocacy, helping other exonerees navigate reentry and pushing for broader systemic reform. He talks about founding a support organization for exonerees, collaborating with lawmakers and city officials, and educating police cadets and law students about the real human impact of wrongful convictions. His drive is simple yet profound: “Somebody's got to do it.”

This is a conversation about radical resilience, community, and purpose beyond the prison gates.

In this powerful follow-up, Eric Anderson continues his harrowing journey from being a gunshot victim to a wrongfully convicted man sentenced to 15–22 years in prison. Despite being offered a plea deal of probation and expungement, Eric refused to admit guilt for a crime he did not commit. He shares disturbing insights into the failures of the criminal justice system, including missing evidence, ineffective legal counsel, overcharging, and judicial bias.

Eric’s strength shines as he represents himself, studies law in prison, and ultimately finds redemption through the Michigan Innocence Clinic and the Wayne County Conviction Integrity Unit. His conviction is overturned, and he is released—only four hours after finding out. He reflects on lost time, resilience, and the broken systems that almost stole his future.

This is a conversation about standing firm in the truth, surviving a system designed to break you, and reclaiming your life with purpose and power.

“Somebody's got to do it. Because if we don't, who’s going to educate? Who’s going to teach them this is happening?”

After being failed at every level of the system, Eric Anderson could have walked away from it all. Instead, he chose advocacy.

Part 1

"They gave me a trash bag and said, ‘They want you up front right now.’"

After years of wrongful incarceration, Eric Anderson was suddenly told he was going home with just four hours to process it.

No ceremony. No support. Just a rush to get him out the door.

In this clip from the next episode of Wrongfully Yours, Eric reflects on the surreal, chaotic moment he was released, and the reality that the system knew he should never have been there in the first place.

Two episodes. One story you won’t forget.

In this gripping episode of Wrongfully Yours, Eric Anderson shares the shocking story of how he became entangled in a wrongful conviction — all after being the victim of a shooting. 

As a 20-year-old college student pursuing his dreams in computer engineering, Eric was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was struck by a stray bullet at a Detroit restaurant. But instead of being treated as a victim, Eric was arrested 10 days later and accused of committing an armed robbery — one that occurred miles away from where he was shot.

Eric walks us through the disbelief, confusion, and injustice that followed: from being interrogated without a lawyer, to taking a polygraph test he was told he “failed,” to being misidentified based on a Facebook photo by someone he didn’t even know personally. Despite medical records, geographic inconsistencies, and glaring flaws in witness accounts, Eric was charged and held in jail.

In this follow-up episode, retired law enforcement officer Marcus Beach returns to share the evolution and impact of the Wrongful Conviction Awareness and Avoidance Program—now mandatory training for all new police recruits across Illinois. We talk about how the initiative began, why it matters, and how real change starts with education, openness, and a willingness to admit the justice system doesn’t always get it right. With nearly 5,000 officers trained and counting, Marcus is laying the foundation for a more just future—one recruit at a time.
