In this episode of The Blake and Chase Show, investigative journalist Chris Joyner from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution sits down with Blake and Chase to discuss his career in journalism. Chris delves into his compelling book, The Three Death Sentences of Clarence Henderson, the story of a black sharecropper wrongfully convicted of murder in 1948, and the decades-long struggle to clear his name. Through meticulous research, Chris sheds light on the racial and legal challenges Henderson faced, the three separate trials that wrongly condemned him, and the how justice came to the Henderson name decades later.
Beyond the Henderson case, Chris discusses his experiences covering stories that bring him to the heart of some of the most extreme and complex issues in America, from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina to the conditions inside supermax prisons. Join us for an unforgettable conversation that reveals how investigative journalism uncovers hidden truths and drives change.
