Ep5 - Zachariah Anderson - The Trial Part 2
In our concluding episode, we will continue exploring the remainder of the trial, more questionable tactics, and misrepresentation of evidence by the prosecution. Then finally the verdict, along with the reactions and responses that followed.
Our goal in sharing Zach’s case is not just showing how one man’s life has been upended unfairly, but also showing how the system we trust with our lives and the lives of those we love, is broken. Corruption exists and it will continue to exist unless we, the people, step in and demand change. It may not affect you today, but what happened to Zach could happen to you, to someone you love. Something needs to change and we hope by sharing these wrongful convictions, we can make some kind of difference in bringing awareness to this problem in our justice system. This goes into the local officials we elect, how seriously we take our civic duty when assigned to a jury, and keeping these institutions accountable.
