Hosted by Another Not Guilty · EN
Another Not Guilty tells the stories true crime won’t touch — the real cases where the government gets it wrong, the defense fights back, and justice somehow survives. Hosted by public defenders who’ve seen everything from police “oopsies” to prosecutorial plot twists, ANG gives you a front-row seat to the wild, emotional, hilarious, and infuriating world inside America’s courtrooms.
Each episode features real public defenders sharing the cases that made them laugh, cry, or question reality. These are true stories of everyday people thrown into a system built to convict — and the defenders who fought like hell to prove otherwise.
You’ll hear unforgettable cases like:
• “Meth, Murder, and a Missing Boyfriend” — a dark, twisty saga with cartel rumors, a desert crime scene, and a defendant everyone assumed was guilty… until he wasn’t.
• “Pin the Gun on the Homie” — where a gun supposedly teleported between suspects.
• “Is That a Burrito in Your Pocket?” — where police mistook a wrapped burrito for a deadly weapon.
• “Where Are Angie’s Pants?” — the chaotic courtroom showdown where missing pants became Exhibit A.
Some stories are hilarious, some are heartbreaking, and some will make you want to flip a courtroom table — but they’re all true.
We mix humor with honesty because that’s how public defenders survive this work: laughing so we don’t cry, telling the truth because others won’t, and fighting because someone’s freedom depends on it.
• True-crime fans who want the truth, not fear-based fiction
• Law students, lawyers, public defenders, investigators
• Anyone curious how trials actually work
• People who love courtroom drama, dark humor, and underdog victories
• Reform-minded listeners who want real insight into the criminal legal system
• Folks tired of the “defendant is always guilty” narrative

At a live taping of Another Not Guilty, we head to Penn Carey Law for a case that had everything: a chaotic family dispute, a single gunshot, and three witnesses who somehow couldn’t agree on what actually happened. When 19-year-old Angel was charged with attempted murder and facing decades in prison, the case seemed straightforward—until the stories started changing. With no defense witnesses, no experts, and hundreds of hours of bodycam footage, Delco public defender Anna Hinchman built her case on one simple idea: if no one can tell the same story twice, how can you prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt? Featuring Uncle Biggie, Uncle Smalls, a mysterious pair of gloves, and a staircase that heard more than anyone saw, this live episode is a perfect example of how doubt isn’t just reasonable—it’s everything.Dive into more stories from the bold and brilliant public defenders wherever you listen to podcasts, and connect with us on social media:Stay Connected & Support the Show:· Website: anothernotguiltypod.com Another Not Guilty· Follow us on Instagram: @anothernotguilty· Find us on Facebook: Another Not Guilty· Support the show (potential bonus content!): Patreon

Defense attorney Ryan Sullivan out of Massachusetts casts doubt on his own client's confession to win an acquittal on all charges in a gun possession case. The defendant — a young shoe salesman who had been shot six times — faced a mandatory 1.5-year minimum sentence under Massachusetts's draconian gun laws that punished possessing a firearm for protection that was clearly needed. Ryan masterfully unravels the prosecution's case and challenges the reliability of the confession itself, turning what seemed like a sure conviction into a complete not guilty. ⚖️ Bold lawyering. High stakes. Real wins.
