337-Fixing Justice System Errors With John Hollway

Send us Fan Mail We talk with John Hollway about treating wrongful convictions as system errors and building a criminal justice process that aims for accuracy instead of blame. We dig into the repeat patterns behind exonerations and the practical fixes that reduce false confessions, bad forensics, and overconfident verdicts. • Defining “error” as convicting the wrong person and missing the right person • Why single-source eyewitness identification without corroboration is a major red flag • How false confessions happen and why interview framing changes outcomes • The limits of DNA evidence and the challenge of courts judging evolving science • Using root cause analysis and continuous improvement like other high-stakes systems • Confirmation bias in investigations and why intellectual humility matters • Burnout and underfunding across police, prosecutors, and public defenders • Why certainty of punishment deters more than severity • Restorative justice for low-level harm and what communities can learn from it • Homelessness, public order, and why “prison” becomes the default tool Follow John Hollway at ... https://www.johnhollway.com/ If you enjoy this podcast, especially if you're reviewing an Apple podcast, give it five stars.
