  • 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.

    11 - Greg Parsons
    Nov 22 2024
    Catherine Carroll was not a perfect mother but it didn’t stop her son Gregory Parsons from loving her with his whole heart. However, to hear Catherine tell it, that was the farthest from the truth. As a result of much hearsay, her son would become the prime suspect after her murder. This week, Kylie and Rory go through Greg’s story and his fight for justice.

    Ronald and Brenda Dalton had just settled down to decompress together on the couch after a long day. Their children were all safely tucked into bed, and the couple were just enjoying each other's company when Brenda began to choke on the snack she was munching on. Kylie and Rory take you on a journey from choking to what the police believed to be murder.
