Ever since 25-year-old Shanquella Robinson died in unexplained circumstances on a group vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in October, her family has demanded a thorough investigation as to what happened. But on Wednesday, U.S. federal authorities told them that they don’t have the evidence to pursue criminal charges in the case.
Robinson, a hair stylist from North Carolina and graduate of Winston-Salem State University, died of “severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation,” according to her official death certificate. Initially, Mexican law enforcement and the six friends...

Sometimes, the Wrong Man is the Wrong WoMan.
When Wrong Man Season 2 premieres this Sunday, series creator Joe Berlinger steps away from the title to explore how women, too, can find themselves unable to extricate themselves from a justice system that does them wrong.
The Wrong Man Season 1 produced actual results, so those inmates involved would be hard-pressed not to get their hopes up as a result of being a part of Berlinger's series.
Season 1 death row inmate Curtis Flowers saw his conviction overturned in the case of a quadruple murder after being prosecuted for it six times by the same prosecutor.
If not for the team on Wrong Man, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas acknowledged, Flowers could still be on death row today.
Christopher Tapp served 21 years behind bars for the rape and murder of an 18-year-old girl after he was coerced into confessing.

Joe Berlinger's Starz series Wrong Man continues its tradition of documentary justice. Season 1 led to two overturned murder convictions: for Curtis Flowers, who was tried six times by nearly all-white juries, and Christopher Tapp, exonerated from rape and murder charges after serving 20 years of a 30-year sentence. It also helped Evaristo Salas win a new trial where he will be represented by a pro bono lawyer. Wrong Man season 2 focuses on wronged women.
The long-form documentary journalism series messes with the formula set in the first season in a few ways. The obvious one is that this season focuses on wrongfully accused women. Beginning with "The Case Against Grandma," Vonda Smith, who was convicted of beating 21-year-old Jessie Morrison, the mother of her grandchild, beyond recognition. The less obvious change is the show pulls...
