Brought to you by the Wrongful Convictions Collective, A Whole Life Later informs listeners about wrongful convictions and the circumstances that cause them.

Join hosts Kylie and Rory as they discuss wrongful convictions, talk to relevant guests and debate techniques used.

Kylie is interested in the forensics and victimology of wrongful convictions. She’s an outspoken optimist who always has a theory about what really happened in wrongful convictions.

Rory offers a critical perspective on the legal aspects of the case. He’s got the more realistic, sarcastic approach to life and to wrongful convictions.
