In this episode of Another Not Guilty, the hosts are joined by public defender Lauren Hillary to break down a case that should terrify anyone who believes evidence still matters.

The state charged Lauren’s client with 13 felony sex offenses, including counts carrying multiple life sentences—based largely on printed email notifications allegedly tied to Twitter messages that did not exist. No corroborating DMs. No forensic proof. No investigation of the home. Just screenshots, assumptions, and a year of pretrial incarceration in Mississippi’s broken system.

This is a story about fake evidence, real consequences, and what it takes to stop the system from steamrolling an innocent person. Printing something doesn’t make it true.

🎙️ Another Not Guilty tells the untold stories of public defenders fighting back—one case at a time.

Two San Francisco public defenders return with the same client from the season 4 opener — but this time the stakes are even higher. After beating the charges last round, the client is arrested again, now facing bogus attempted murder charges. And who's leading the charge? None other than the same malicious, vindictive, mustache-wearing prosecutor who just won't quit.

Enter Martina, trial lawyer extraordinaire, who breaks down the case with true-crime detail and fearless advocacy. By the time she's done, it's clear why she's a premier public defender and why her client wasn't guilty then — and isn't guilty now.

Because in this courtroom saga, the mustache is bad, the case is worse, but the defense? Absolutely unbeatable.

In this episode, a public defender walks us through a wild week in which he won two separate jury trials for the same client. The prosecution thought they had their "expert" angle locked down, but sharp cross and relentless advocacy showed otherwise.

From shaky testimony to overblown charges, this defender dismantled the state's case not once, but twice — proving that sometimes the best way to handle a so-called expert is to show the jury how little expertise is really there.

Two trials. One client. Zero convictions. That's how you do it.
