First hour: Anthony Miller on his wrongful conviction

Second hour: Why is there a gender gap when it comes to college enrollment?A local man was in prison for six years for a crime he didn't commit, and now he's suing the state and the people he says participated in a rush to judgement in his wrongful conviction. We talk to Anthony Miller and his attorneys. Our guests:

  • Anthony Miller, Rochester resident who was wrongfully convicted
  • Elliott Shields, civil rights attorny with Roth and Roth LLP
  • Don Thompson, managing partner at Easton Thompson Kasperek Shiffrin LLP
