How Many Innocent Americans Are Sitting in Jail?

Hosted by

A record 125 prisoners were released last year in Texas, New York and other states after serving long terms for crimes they did not commit. The public-radio podcast Serial focused attention on cases being re-investigated because of possible wrongful convictions. Now there's a national movement for exonerations.

Also, another Republican governor striking out at public employee unions, and a conversation with Syria's President Bashar al-Assad.
