Show Notes

Miguel Santos found a wallet in a grocery store parking lot and turned it in, thinking he was doing the right thing. Two weeks later, he was arrested — the wallet had belonged to a man involved in a robbery, and blurry security footage made Miguel look guilty. Though he was later cleared when the real suspect was caught, the damage was done: lost jobs, mounting debt, and a life quietly derailed by a simple act of honesty. One mistake. One wallet. A justice system slow to say, “We were wrong.”
