Editors note: This episode was originally released in Season 2 as two part episode. We have combined it to be one episode and give some of our newer listeners a chance to catch up on some of our "classic" NGs!

The prosecution thought they had zipped up the case tight. No gaps, no questions, no chance for escape. But the truth has a way of slipping through, especially when a fearless public defender takes the stand.

In this combined episode — Parts 1 and 2 brought together — we follow our fellow public defenders as they dismantle the state's so-called "airtight" story. Every witness who thought they were backing up the prosecution's narrative stumbled under sharp cross-examination. Every detail the state insisted was proof of guilt came undone, exposed as sloppy, incomplete, or outright misleading.

What the state tried to package as justice turned out to be nothing but a messy zipper snag — and the defender was ready with the scissors. The comedy comes in watching the state scramble to explain their unraveling theory, while the tragedy lies in how close the system came to convicting someone on patchwork evidence.

By combining the two parts into one episode, the full scope of the defender's strategy shines: from the first objection to the last word before the jury, it's a master class in fearless advocacy. And when the verdict came, it wasn't guilt — it was vindication. Another powerful reminder that even when the system tries to stitch up the innocent, a relentless public defender can tear through the seams.

At a live taping of Another Not Guilty, we head to Penn Carey Law for a case that had everything: a chaotic family dispute, a single gunshot, and three witnesses who somehow couldn’t agree on what actually happened.

When 19-year-old Angel was charged with attempted murder and facing decades in prison, the case seemed straightforward—until the stories started changing. With no defense witnesses, no experts, and hundreds of hours of bodycam footage, Delco public defender Anna Hinchman built her case on one simple idea: if no one can tell the same story twice, how can you prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt?

Featuring Uncle Biggie, Uncle Smalls, a mysterious pair of gloves, and a staircase that heard more than anyone saw, this live episode is a perfect example of how doubt isn’t just reasonable—it’s everything.

In this episode of Another Not Guilty, the hosts are joined by public defender Lauren Hillary to break down a case that should terrify anyone who believes evidence still matters.

The state charged Lauren’s client with 13 felony sex offenses, including counts carrying multiple life sentences—based largely on printed email notifications allegedly tied to Twitter messages that did not exist. No corroborating DMs. No forensic proof. No investigation of the home. Just screenshots, assumptions, and a year of pretrial incarceration in Mississippi’s broken system.

This is a story about fake evidence, real consequences, and what it takes to stop the system from steamrolling an innocent person. Printing something doesn’t make it true.

🎙️ Another Not Guilty tells the untold stories of public defenders fighting back—one case at a time.
