🎙️ On International Wrongful Conviction Day, Dr Robyn Blewer, Director of the Griffith University Innocence Project, joined ABC to discuss the causes of wrongful convictions, the devastating impact they have on innocent people and their families, and the challenges many face even after their convictions are overturned.
