When Yutico Briley was 19 years old, he was sentenced to 60 years in prison for an armed robbery he said he didn't commit. After serving 7 years of his sentence, Briley heard criminal justice reporter Emily Bazelon on 'Fresh Air' and wrote to her about his case. Bazelon started corresponding with him and doing some research, and found flaws in his defense and trial representative of larger problems in the justice system. Her sister Lara Bazelon, a lawyer, decided to take Briley's case and file for an appeal. Lara won the appeal and his exoneration. Emily Bazelon's article about Briley is the cover story of this week's 'New York Times Magazine.' We'll hear from Emily Bazelon and Yutico Briley.
