"Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley discuss the case of the Groveland Four, four young Florida men who were charged with raping a young woman in a 1949 rape that likely never occurred. They were recently exonerated by the State of Florida after being railroaded by a corrupt Lake County, Florida sheriff, deputies, investigators and judges.
