Burden of Guilt
Burden of Guilt, hosted by Nancy Glass, is a true crime podcast that examines a desperate lie and its devastating consequences. In 1999, Jermaine Hudson was sentenced to 99 years in Angola Prison based on the testimony of Bobby Gumpright. Over two decades later, Gumpright recanted, revealing the real story. Through court records and interviews, the series explores addiction, fear, and systemic failures, and what justice and redemption look like when the truth emerges.
