On the next American Black Journal,

Danny Burton spent 32 years in prison on a wrongful murder conviction before being released. Stephen talks with Danny and a member of his legal team about what led to his conviction being overturned. Plus, Wayne County brings in the Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem to reimagine the county’s approach to handling public defense cases.
