Join We the Jury™ as we reopen cases where justice may have gone off the rails. As a juror in your own living room, you'll hear what the original jury didn't: suppressed evidence, overlooked witnesses, and the devastating cost of getting it wrong. The verdict was guilty. But should it have been?
Step into the jury box as we expose how these verdicts went off track. Did the jury see the whole truth, or just the carefully crafted evidence orchestrated to secure the prosecution's desired verdict? Were investigators so fixed on their target that evidence became merely a game of connect-the-dots, forcing evidence to fit their chosen suspect? Were juries deliberately shielded from crucial evidence while courts rubber-stamped questionable expert testimony as undisputed fact?
These aren't just cases—they're runaway trains of injustice, where innocent defendants found themselves railroaded by the very system meant to protect them. From courtroom corruption to eyewitness manipulation, each episode strips away the façade of "guilty beyond reasonable doubt," revealing the disturbing flaws that sent lives spiraling off course.
Think you've heard every twist in true crime? Prepare to be shocked as we uncover buried evidence, expose hidden agendas, and reveal how these cases jumped the tracks of justice.
Join us as we unravel the hidden truth behind each case. Keeping in mind, when twelve ordinary citizens step into a jury box, their verdict is based solely on the evidence they're presented. In We the Jury™, you'll hear it all—including what families, communities, and advocates have known from the start: innocence has always been there, buried beneath the prosecution's carefully constructed, and in some instances illegal, case. Armed with the complete picture, it's up to you to decide: guilty or not guilty?

Sir William Blackstone said in 1765, "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer". Blackstone's principle is a cornerstone of criminal law. That's why we presume people to be innocent until proven guilty. John Adams expanded on that principle and predicted the state we are in now:
It is more important that innocence should be protected, than it is, that guilt be punished; for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world, that all of them cannot be punished.... when innocence itself, is brought to the bar and condemned, especially to die, the subject will exclaim, 'it is immaterial to me whether I behave well or ill, for virtue itself is no security.' And if such a sentiment as this were to take hold in the mind of the subject that would be the end of all security whatsoever
It's a tragedy that so much of our American justice system seems determined to thwart that principle these days. We are so intent on throwing people into jail that guilt or innocence doesn't much matter.
