Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Nearly 30 million people across the world are currently living in slavery, according to the inaugural Global Slavery Index , compiled by the Walk Free Foundation. The study estimates the prevalence of slavery in 162 countries, based on both internal research and data from UNICEF and the US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons report.

In the second half of our show Allie Bush talks with Pete Smith, President of the Midwest Innocence Project about their efforts to exonerate people convicted of crimes they did not commit. The mission of the Midwest Innocence Project is to advocate for and obtain the exoneration and release of wrongfully convicted people, primarily in Missouri and Kansas.
Last week on Jaws of Justice Radio we spotlighted the case of Robert Nelson and his fight to get the DNA test that freed him from a wrongful conviction. This exoneration was the result of the efforts of his sister, Sea Dunnell and the Midwest Innocence Project. To find out more contact MIP at:
