Description: "Bringing Ben Home" (one of Amazon's "Best Books of the Year" for 2024) is the story of Ben Spencer, a twenty-two-year-old Black man from Dallas, was convicted of a murder he didn't commit. "Bringing Ben Home" is the powerful story of one innocent man who refused to admit that he was guilty of murder, and how his plight became part of a paradigm shift in how the legal system thinks about innocence as it institutes new methods to overturn wrongful convictions to better protect people like Ben Spencer. This conversation will include Ben Spencer and New York Times bestselling author Barbara Bradley Hagerty.
