I was fortunate to have the opportunity to interview Jennifer Thompson Cannino and Ronald Cotton about the book they wrote together about their shared experience.
In 1984, Jennifer Thompson Cannino was raped in her home. She picked Ronald Cotton out of a photo lineup, and later an in person lineup. She was sure she picked the right man. She was wrong.
Ronald Cotton went to prison for years because of Jennifer's mistake. Unbelievably, he forgave her.
Eventually, DNA evidence exonerated Mr. Cotton.
Later still, Jennifer and Ronald met. They became friends. Together, they tell their story in the book, 'Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption.'
