One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

"That shows the utter lack of concern and preparation for the case," says Michael Leonard, 'The Voice of Reason.' He’s far from impressed with the defense attorney in the case of John Merritt, and he’s not holding back in today’s episode as we unpack the myriad issues surrounding this decades-old case.John Merritt has been behind bars for longer than I’ve been alive. Like many of the men and women we speak to, John’s early life was marked by encounters with the law—mostly for petty, non-violent offences. He became trapped in a cycle, moving in and out of the system, until one day, while serving time for burglary, his life took an even darker turn.A visit from a sheriff's investigator would change the course of his life forever, propelling him down an unexpected and terrifying path toward the death penalty for a crime he says he didn’t commit.In the end, John faced a grim choice: life in prison or the electric chair.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

The probable cause conference is generally mandatory under Michigan law unless the defense and prosecution both agree to waive the conference.To waive the probable cause conference, the parties must present a written document to the court indicating that the conference and/or preliminary examination have been waived. In some situations, this waiver may occur in court on the record, in which case a written document signed by both parties is unnecessary.Some time ago one prisoner in the Michigan DOC discovered that his probable cause hearing had just been completely missed. An entire step in the procedural process.However not just his, thousands of inmates across Michigan also never got a probable cause hearing.So what does this mean?EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Hello and Welcome back to One Minute Remaining, today I'm sitting down with American social psychologist and a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz DR Craig Haney. I am currently in the process of working on a new project with a gentlemen who is incarcerated in San Quentin prison, now I'm going to be annoying and say I wont be telling you at this stage what that is but as part of this project I was looking for certain experts to weigh in and take part, I do love an expert, one of those experts I found was a man by the name of Dr Craig Haney. I reached out to him and asked if he would chat with me to which he agreed. What I didn't know at the time was not only is he a highly regarded professor and psychologist who has spent his life studying capital punishment and the psychological impact of and the American Prison system but he was also one of the researchers who conducted the 1970s experiment known as the Stanford prison experiment.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

On many occasions during the course of this shows life I have said on many occasions that I strongly believe we are all just one stupid decision away from potentially ruining our lives, that is especially true when we are young.I made many poor decisions as a youngster, decisions that I look back on today and just thank my luck stars that they didn't go south.Of course, some of us make poorer decisions than others, my decisions were made based on stupid judgments, usually fueled by alcohol, Chris Willars decision was based on a warped sense of family loyalty, wanting to belong and an underpinning anger.Today Christopher Willars or 'life', as he's known to his friends, is a free man a changed man and a principal at a school.So how did he go from looking down the barrel of 144 years in prison to where he is today?OMR Listener surveyEARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

As always after each of the cases we look at it's time to catch up with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason' a man with decades of trial experience as a defense attorney in Chicago Illinois, Australia's favourite attorney at law, Michael Leonard, as we discuss the case of Christopher Dunn.In 1991, Dunn was convicted of murder in St. Louis, Missouri, based largely on the testimonies of two teenagers who later recanted their statements. There was no physical evidence linking Dunn to the crime, and he consistently maintained his innocence. Despite these facts, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Over the years, multiple witnesses and even the original teenage accusers admitted that their testimonies were fabricated under police pressure.Despite compelling evidence of his innocence and a judge even stating in 2020 that no jury would find him guilty today, legal hurdles have prevented his release, highlighting the systemic challenges faced by those wrongfully convicted.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Almost one year ago I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled across a page dedicated to one of the many innocence style organisations that is dotted across the united states, setup in response to thee overwhelming number of people who are incarcerated for crimes they didn't commit.On the page there was a photograph of a young African American boy pictured with a big smile wearing a baseball outfit the name of that boy was Damian Skinner.... the story spoke of how Damian had been arrested tried and convicted for a murder in 1996, Damian had been convicted with next to no evidence, apart from a so called eye witness, who didn't even see the crime take place. He would tell police that he saw Damian in a car head in the direction of the crime and then moments later heard gun shots.Damian's older brother was a known gang member and he said that police believed he'd in fact committed the crime but with no evidence to arrest him they brought Damian in and told him he would need to testify against his brother or face prison himself. He refused and sealed his fate..Damian would spend the next almost 28 years fighting to clear his name without success. Eventually coming up for parole but was denied multiple times, the biggest hurdle was the fact that he was never willing to admit to the crime and thus in the eyes of the board he was not taking ownership or showing any remorse.however on his most recent appearance he would have legal representation and a strong argument was put forward and finally he was granted his parole...Almost 6 months later it's time to check in with Damian to see how he's doing as a free man.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.
