Description

Another Not Guilty tells the stories true crime won’t touch — the real cases where the government gets it wrong, the defense fights back, and justice somehow survives. Hosted by public defenders who’ve seen everything from police “oopsies” to prosecutorial plot twists, ANG gives you a front-row seat to the wild, emotional, hilarious, and infuriating world inside America’s courtrooms. Each episode features real public defenders sharing the cases that made them laugh, cry, or question reality. These are true stories of everyday people thrown into a system built to convict — and the defenders who fought like hell to prove otherwise. You’ll hear unforgettable cases like:• “Meth, Murder, and a Missing Boyfriend” — a dark, twisty saga with cartel rumors, a desert crime scene, and a defendant everyone assumed was guilty… until he wasn’t. • “Pin the Gun on the Homie” — where a gun supposedly teleported between suspects.• “Is That a Burrito in Your Pocket?” — where police mistook a wrapped burrito for a deadly weapon.• “Where Are Angie’s Pants?” — the chaotic courtroom showdown where missing pants became Exhibit A. Some stories are hilarious, some are heartbreaking, and some will make you want to flip a courtroom table — but they’re all true. We mix humor with honesty because that’s how public defenders survive this work: laughing so we don’t cry, telling the truth because others won’t, and fighting because someone’s freedom depends on it. This podcast is for:• True-crime fans who want the truth, not fear-based fiction• Law students, lawyers, public defenders, investigators• Anyone curious how trials actually work• People who love courtroom drama, dark humor, and underdog victories• Reform-minded listeners who want real insight into the criminal legal system• Folks tired of the “defendant is always guilty” narrative This is a true-crime–alternative podcast focused on wrongful accusations, police misconduct, wrongful arrests, jury trials, cross-examinations, defense investigations, forensic flaws, Fourth Amendment battles, prosecutorial overreach, and real courtroom strategy. The show highlights public defender cases involving unconstitutional searches, coerced pleas, chain-of-custody failures, bad photo lineups, questionable witness IDs, and systemic injustice across the criminal legal system. Topics include: wrongful convictions, criminal defense strategy, voir dire and jury selection, trial advocacy, body-cam breakdowns, suppression hearings, witness credibility, government misconduct, mental health in the justice system, mass incarceration, and the human stories hidden behind criminal accusations. Ideal for fans of true-crime alternatives, wrongful conviction podcasts, legal storytelling, police accountability, public defender content, and real courtroom audio. By blending authentic trial stories, expert legal insight, social-justice commentary, and humor, Another Not Guilty reveals what really happens in court — not the TV fantasy, but the human reality. These are the cases where ordinary people fought the system… and won. Learn more at www.anothernotguiltypod.com

From the Archives: Psych’d Up And Ready To Fight
2026/10/12
Before Loren became a co-host, she was defending people in psychiatric crisis and saving dogs. Whether the first job prepared her for working with Dave is still an open question. (Not really) In this case, her 68-year-old client was living in a locked psychiatric hospital, asking to see a doctor and for basic care. The system’s response? A third-strike felony threat case that could have sent him to prison for life. Loren went to the preliminary hearing ready to fight. The case was dismissed. Dave, Nikhil, and Loren get into how a mental health crisis became a criminal case, what the evidence actually showed, and why one dismissal doesn’t fix a system that keeps doing this. On the bright side, Dave is still only a possible case for rescue.

From the Archives: When The Truth Doesn't Matter
2026/10/04
Where it all began, the very first ANG episode. As many defenders and their clients know, once something is on the internet, it stays there forever. We are not hiding from the evidence, but we are remastering and cataloging. Originally Season 1, Episode 1, released June 6, 2018, and edited back when Dave's weapon of choice was GarageBand. Who still uses GarageBand anyway? Public defender John tells David and Nikhil about a client who called 911 because her partner was abusing her. By the time the officer arrived, the partner was gone and she was sitting in the driver's seat. The state charged her with DUI. The police report somehow forgot to mention her entire account. The prosecutor told the defense he did not need to know what actually happened, because finding the truth was not his job. The jury needed five to ten minutes to disagree. Not guilty. The court then billed her $1,200 for the privilege of proving it. The very first ANG episode, and the state was already treating the truth like an optional exhibit.

From the Archives: Jumpin’ The Grenade For Truth & Justice
2026/09/07
During the great platform migration, we discovered that several older episodes had vanished from the record. Unlike the prosecution, we don’t hide the evidence. So we dusted off the master, cleaned up the audio, rewrote the description, and released this one back into the wild. Originally in Season 1 Episode 14, Public defender Mike takes on a double homicide case where the prosecution’s theory has more holes than a crime scene interview conducted by committee. As Mike digs deeper, the DA’s case begins shedding evidence, logic, and apparently any remaining attachment to structural integrity. What first looks like a straightforward prosecution turns into a spectacular collapse of assumptions and strategy. The case proves that truth and justice sometimes require jumping onto the grenade before the state can pull the pin, especially when the grenade is labeled “Exhibit A” and nobody bothered to check whether it was armed.

From the Archives: Nobody Likes These Charges
2026/08/05
This episode has been pulled from the archives for reasons entirely unrelated to switching platforms and discovering that several old episodes had disappeared like a witness after being asked whether they actually saw anything. We cleaned up the audio, rewrote the description, and returned the case to the docket. Public defender Erik takes on sensitive and deeply serious allegations complicated by unreliable witnesses and a prosecution determined to move forward. Erik carefully challenges the accusations without losing sight of the human stakes, exposes weaknesses in the government’s case, and fights for a client facing charges that can destroy a life before a jury ever hears evidence. The case ends during jury selection, proving that sometimes the strongest courtroom victory happens before opening statements and before the prosecution has time to prepare another PowerPoint labeled “Justice.” Dive into more stories from the bold and brilliant public defenders at all the places you get your podcasts, and our social channels: Stay Connected & Support the Show: Website: anothernotguiltypod.comFollow us on Instagram: @anothernotguiltyFind us on Facebook: Another Not GuiltySupport the show (potential bonus content!): Patreon
The Prick Gets Caught in the Zipper …? When the state tries to stitch up a case
2026/06/07
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.   Dive into more stories from the bold and brilliant public defenders wherever you listen to podcasts, and connect with us on social media: Stay Connected & Support the Show: ·         Website: anothernotguiltypod.com Another Not Guilty ·         Follow us on Instagram: @anothernotguilty ·         Find us on Facebook: Another Not Guilty ·         Support the show (potential bonus content!): Patreon

Live at Penn: Uncle Biggie, Uncle Smalls, and a Whole Lot of Doubt
2026/03/22
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.

Proof Beyond a Reasonable Printout
2026/01/18
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.

Believe No One: Discrediting the Client's Confession
2025/10/05
Defense attorney Ryan Sullivan out of Massachusetts casts doubt on his own client's confession to win an acquittal on all charges in a gun possession case. The defendant — a young shoe salesman who had been shot six times — faced a mandatory 1.5-year minimum sentence under Massachusetts's draconian gun laws that punished possessing a firearm for protection that was clearly needed. Ryan masterfully unravels the prosecution's case and challenges the reliability of the confession itself, turning what seemed like a sure conviction into a complete not guilty. ⚖️ Bold lawyering. High stakes. Real wins.
