In this episode of Wrongfully Yours, Kelly is joined by Marcus Beach, a retired police officer and current director of the Wrongful Conviction Awareness and Avoidance Program. Marcus shares his powerful journey from nearly three decades in law enforcement where he rarely questioned the system to a profound shift in perspective sparked by hearing an exoneree’s story. We talk about the blind spots in police training, the emotional toll of realizing the system’s flaws, and his current mission to educate the next generation of officers. This is an honest, eye-opening conversation about accountability, transformation, and the human cost of getting it wrong.

In this episode of Wrongfully Yours, Kelly sits down with Shawna Nelson—Jamie Nelson’s sister—for a heartfelt conversation about the often-overlooked ripple effects of wrongful convictions. Shawna shares what it was like to watch her brother’s life unravel from the sidelines, the toll it took on their family, and how she navigated years of forced distance, disbelief, and helplessness.

Their bond, forged in childhood as best friends, was tested but not broken. Shawna offers an intimate perspective on the emotional cost of seeing someone you love endure a life-altering injustice. She also speaks to the impact of supporting Jamie post-release, joining him on speaking tours, and witnessing firsthand how sharing his story has sparked awareness, education, and change in others.

This episode is a powerful reminder that wrongful convictions don't just affect one person—they affect everyone around them.
