From the publisher
Burden of Guilt, hosted by Nancy Glass, is a true account of how a desperate lie can reverberate—and cost people everything. The series examines that lie, its consequences, and the unlikely journey it took to undo it. In 1999, Jermaine Hudson was convicted in New Orleans and sentenced to 99 years in Angola Prison for a violent crime. More than two decades later, the man whose testimony put him there—Bobby Gumpright—finally told the real story. Through court records, firsthand interviews, and intimate access to both men, Burden of Guilt explores how addiction, fear, and systemic failures collided—and what justice, accountability, and redemption look like when the truth finally comes out.
