Summary
This episode is a re-run of a previously aired episode of Pursuing Justice, highlighting stories for Wrongful Conviction Day. C.J. Rice was born in 1993 in Philadelphia. At the age of 17, he was wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit. His sentence was 30-60 years. While in prison, he earned his High School diploma in addition to being certified as a brick layer. He also was certified by OSHA. In 2023, he was released on bail after his Federal Habeas Corpus petition was granted by the Federal Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and his conviction was vacated. On March 18, 2024 he was exonerated and the Philadelphia District Attorney's office dropped all charges. This podcast is proudly sponsored by the Innocence Project of Florida.
