Wrongful Conviction: The Exoneration of Willie T. Donald

This week in a special True Crime Daily Podcast: Our guest is Willie "Timmy" Donald, an Indiana man wrongly convicted of robbery and murder who served more than 20 years in prison before he was exonerated. We discuss how Mr. Donald went car-shopping with family one night in 1992 and ended up in a police lineup, how police and prosecutors let the wrong man go to prison -- and what has changed since.

Also joining us is Willie T. Donald's attorney, Thomas Vanes; and Dr. Nicky Jackson, coordinator of the Criminal Justice Program at Purdue University Northwest in Indiana, who is the creator and chair of the Willie T. Donald Exoneration Advisory Coalition. Criminal defense attorney Alison Triessl co-hosts with Ana Garcia.
