“Crime After Crime” is a prime example of the problems that plague our judicial system and how our system sometimes works against us rather than for us. Debbie Peagler was a young woman when she was sentenced to a 25-to-life prison sentence for her connection to the murder of her husband — a man who continually abused her and forced her into prostitution. Her connection to the crime should have warranted her only a 6-year sentence in prison. Now, fast forward 20 years later and two pro bono attorneys, Joshua Safran and Nadia Costa, have taken Debbie’s case and after a 7-year, uphill battle, Debbie was freed from prison.
