56: The Hills We Die On pt.2: Something in the Waters

Criminal justice, true crime, and the bonds of family all clash in today's podcast episode! It starts with a story we've heard before. An innocent man is convicted of a crime he did not commit. Facing life in prison few believe in his innocence or his chances to overturn his conviction. Fortunately, for his sister, this is a hill she is willing to die on. Learn who is Kenny Waters, who is Betty Anne Waters, and the power of a sibling with a little bit of fight. Trace how Kenny’s indomitable sister, Betty Ann Waters, fought through law school, uncovered hidden DNA evidence, and finally cleared her brother’s name—only for tragedy to strike months after his release. Expect belly laughs, righteous rage over police misconduct, and a poignant tribute to sibling devotion, all wrapped in the show’s signature mix of chaotic chatter and true‑crime rabbit holes. Dive into Kenny Waters’ wrongful‑conviction saga—“Something in the Waters.”
