In a riveting podcast episode, we delve into the depths of the criminal justice system with Shannon Bohrer, a former Maryland State Police officer and author of the eye-opening book, "Judicial Soup." Shannon's journey from law enforcement to authoring a book about wrongful convictions is as fascinating as it is crucial. His experience as an expert witness for Heath Patrick Thomas, a man wrongfully convicted of a minor crime, serves as a poignant reminder that the flaws in our justice system can have life-altering ramifications.

Throughout the episode, Shannon shares the story of Heath, who, despite serving only four days in jail, faced years of hardship due to his conviction. This personal account is just one of many that Shannon explores in his book, highlighting the systemic issues that lead to wrongful convictions. The conversation sheds light on the often-overlooked minor cases that, while not as sensational as death row pardons, carry significant consequences for those involved.
