    48. Executed… Then Proven Innocent? | Death Penalty Debate with Steffen Hou
    Feb 17 2026
    What happens when the justice system gets it wrong? In this clip from Santana True Crime, I’m joined by author Steffen Hou as we discuss a chilling case where a person was executed — and later evidence suggested they were innocent. How does that happen? And what does it say about the death penalty? Steffen dives deeper into wrongful convictions and death row cases in his book The Deprived, which explores the stories of Americans sentenced to death despite claims of innocence. 📚 I’ll have a link to The Deprived in the description below.
