In Episode 10 of Goddess of Law, host Brooke Taylor explores the devastating reality of wrongful convictions—stories of lives shattered by a flawed justice system and the long road to redemption. From coerced confessions to withheld evidence, wrongful convictions expose the systemic failures that disproportionately affect communities of color. But amidst the tragedy, there is also resilience—stories of strength, activism, and the unwavering fight for justice.

This week’s Word of the Week is Mindfulness—the practice of being present and fully engaged in the moment—a crucial tool for healing for those wrongfully convicted and the communities that rally behind them. In the Black History Spotlight, we examine the impact of the Dred Scott Decision and how the Civil Rights Act of 1866 overturned its legacy, reshaping the fight for equality. Plus, we feature the groundbreaking book Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome by Dr. Joy Degruy, offering critical insights into the long-term impacts of historical trauma.
