Justice Denied - The story of Kristine Bunch
Season 3, Episode 37, Oct 30, 2023, 07:14 PM
One fateful night in 1996 Kristine Bunch woke to a home full of flames. She struggled to extract her young son from the fire but failed. Much to her surprise and horror, she was charged with setting the fire that killed her child.
Bunch was convicted on expert testimony which was later held in question. No one would have taken a second look at her case had she not fought from prison to find advocates to examine the testimony and evidence.
After 17 years of incarceration, she was released, and the conviction was dismissed.
Bunch discusses her case and the burdens of wrongful conviction for herself and others.
