COJ #65 - The Presumption of Guilt - Defense Attorney Noah Pines Talks About Client Joey Watkins and Overturning Murder Convictions

Published: Jan. 23, 2024, 8:03 a.m.

This week\u2019s #CupofJustice is a little different as we invite new contributors to expose the truth, give voice to victims and get the story straight.\xa0On today\u2019s show, Mandy Matney and everyone\u2019s favorite attorney Eric Bland explore ethics in defending clients with superhero and criminal defense attorney Noah Pines.\xa0\nNoah Pines is a Criminal Defense Attorney from Philly, and currently practicing in Atlanta, Georgia.\xa0Noah was one of the first supporters of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast. We were honored to discuss\u2696\ufe0f how he found himself in the legal profession, \u2600\ufe0f how he became a fan of our podcast and mission, and how hard it is to overturn a murder conviction \U0001f193.\xa0\nIn a segment reserved just for Premium Members, Noah starts asking the questions to EB and Mandy about the team and what\u2019s next for COJ.\xa0\nNext month, Mandy and Liz hope to welcome Noah\u2019s client\u2026 Joey Watkins who was finally released from prison after 22 years as his conviction for a crime he didn\u2019t commit was overturned. No small feat to say the least.\xa0\nWe\u2019ll be doing more episodes like this where one or two COJ hosts interview special guests and we\u2019d love to hear your feedback as COJ amplifies more voices, illuminates more cases and educates you on more concepts.\xa0Stay tuned for more interviews with best selling author and TV host Tamron Hall, Redhanded's Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala, and others.\xa0\nI am so excited to share this interview with you, so let\u2019s get into it....\n\nMandy's new book, Blood on Their Hands\xa0arrived November 14th.
