Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

In this podcast episode, Nicole O’Byrne talks to Kent Roach about his book, Wrongfully Convicted: Guilty Pleas, Imagined Crimes, and What Canada Must Do to Safeguard Justice, published by McGill-Queen’s University Press in 2023. In Wrongfully Convicted, Kent Roach raises awareness about wrongful convictions in Canada at a time when DNA exonerations are less frequent, and the memories of most famous cases are fading. Roach exposes lesser-known cases where defendants feel they have no option but to plead guilty, and where people have been convicted of crimes imagined by experts or police that never, in fact, happened. Roach makes a compelling case for better legislative regulation of police and forensic experts and the creation of a permanent and independent federal commission both to investigate wrongful convictions and their multiple causes. Though the issue affects all Canadians, Roach’s work reveals that the burden of wrongful convictions falls disproportionately on the disadvantaged, including Indigenous and racialized people, those with cognitive issues, single mothers, and the poor. Kent Roach is a professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. He is also cofounder of the Canadian Registry of Wrongful Convictions, and an award-winning author, who has spent his career documenting flaws in the Canadian justice system. Roach served as volume lead for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Report on the Legacy of Residential Schools and, in 2015, was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada.
