Episode notes

The Chicago Tribune published their investigation into Daniel Taylor's case in 2001, almost a decade after he'd been arrested. When we had completed our investigation and it took months, partly to track down people to continue finding evidence, we went to the police department and we said this is what we're going to write. What is your response? And in both cases, if I remember correctly, they stood by the convictions,. They were satisfied that he and the rest of the young men who had been convicted were in fact guilty. Look for Good Life Project on your favorite podcast app.

This episode continues where Episode 208 leaves off.

In 2001, Daniel Taylor wrote a letter from prison to a reporter at the Chicago Tribune named Steve Mills. Steve Mills spent months investigating before publishing a detailed examination of Daniel’s case as part of a series called “Cops and Confessions.” Daniel told us, “To have someone finally say that they believed me changed my whole life.”
