View show details

In this emotional and intense episode of Voiceless Behind Bars, host Sarah DeArmond sits down with Kevin Billingsley (also known as Kevin Rodgers), a man who has spent decades behind bars for a crime he says he didn’t commit — and who has had his very name taken away by the system.

Kevin opens up about:
His wrongful conviction
The psychological toll of Belmont Correctional Institution
How his birth name was stripped from him
The years-long stagnation of his case at the Ohio Innocence Project
His plea to Governor Mike DeWine for clemency and dignity

Sarah reminds listeners that it's okay to ask questions, to doubt, to think critically — but to always do so with respect and empathy.
