  • Summary

  • 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.

    In the season finale of A Whole Life Later, Kylie tells you about the other stories she came across while researching Connie Oakes' story. Alberta has a scary history of greatly mitreating indigneous peoples within the justice system. These two stories are just drops in the barrel. Alberta needs to do better.

    Kylie and Rory are back to present the final story of the season to you! Come along to Medicine Alberta, as we take a look at the failures of their police service to properly investigate a murder.
