#WAYBACKWEDNESDAY From The Reporters Inc.’s Archives: Back in 1994, when The Reporters Inc.’s Mark Saxenmeyer was a TV reporter in Chicago, he covered this astounding case: A 10-year-old Chicago boy was convicted of killing his neighbor, an 84-year-old woman. Even though the boy had confessed, Saxenmeyer kept thinking, “This kid didn’t do it.” In 2015, Saxenmeyer shared why he’s never forgotten this horrific wrongful conviction: https://thereporters.org/the-wrongful-conviction-ill-never-forget/

#waybackwednesday A Missouri man, Michael Amick, insisted he was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife’s grandmother Maxine in 2008. Eight years later, Reporters Inc. writer Devante Jax Wolfe began looking into allegations of law enforcement misconduct in Amick’s case. In November 2016, we published herd exclusive investigation just as Amick’s re-trial was beginning. And in the end, justice prevailed: https://thereporters.org/when-evil-takes-over/

#waybackwednesday From The Reporters Inc's archives: Meagan wasn’t your typical inmate. She was biologically male but identified as female, serving her sentence behind bars as a transgender woman in a men’s prison. In 2020, Writer Kim Whiting interviewed Meagan to better understand the issues transgender inmates face regularly, and the societal factors that often lead them to prison in the first place. https://thereporters.org/meagans-story/

#WaybackWednesday From The Reporters Inc’s archives: In 2013, a middle-aged mother wrote, anonymously, about whether she wanted to adopt a second child. “Am I up for the challenge again?” she pondered. "While family and friends tell us not to give up on our dream of having two children, the reality is it may not happen in the time frame I hope.” Spoiler alert: The writer and her husband ultimately decided against having a second child. https://thereporters.org/mother-reflects-on-second-adoption/

#WaybackWednesday From The Reporters Inc.’s Archives: In the early 2000s, writer Jerry Huffman spent nearly two years trying to establish an independent media organization in Uzbekistan, a country that human rights watchdogs define as an authoritarian state with limited civil rights. Who knew that the kind of censorship and erosion of free speech Huffman encountered there would seep into America and threaten our free press? https://thereporters.org/a-reporters-notebook/
