In 1963, Henry Alford pled guilty to second-degree murder while still claiming innocence - a decision that created the Alford Plea, a paradoxical legal tool allowing conviction without admission of guilty.

In this episode, we unpack Henry Alford's case, the Supreme Court ruling that followed, and the unsettling questions it raises: can justice exist when truth and survival collide?
