The Trouble with Innocence

In "The Trouble with Innocence," Michael Hall presents the harrowing journey of Kerry Max Cook, who was sentenced to death row in 1978 for a brutal murder he steadfastly claimed he did not commit. Over the decades, Cook faced multiple trials and the harsh realities of prison life, all the while determined to prove his innocence. The narrative culminates in a pivotal hearing for his exoneration nearly forty years later, leading to questions about the complexities of justice and Cook's own decisions regarding his wrongful conviction. This audio adaptation, produced in collaboration with Texas Monthly, combines the depth of an investigative report with the immersive quality of a podcast.
