Check me out on Anomic Age talking wrongful convictions
I also offer some tips for being on a jury.
I appeared with John Age on the Anomic Age to talk about wrongful convictions.
We talked about these six cases.
Did Chris Wray Put an Innocent Man in Jail (substack.com) In this case, future FBI director may have coerced witnesses into testifying. Another theme in this case is the testimony of people who got deals. When someone testifies as part of a deal, this is tantamount to a bribe.
The Provocateur: Man Convicted of 1995 Double Murder May Indeed Be Innocent (theeprovocateur.blogspot.com) In this case, it shows how difficult it is to overturn a conviction. Since he was convicted, Kevin Tower has developed an airtight alibi- putting him fifty miles away from the crime scene when the murders occurred- and the key witness has stepped forward to say she was coerced and that her testimony was false. It’s still not enough.
New Evidence Puts Raar Conviction Into Even More Doubt (substack.com) In Randall Raar’s case, he was convicted when a twenty-one-year-old testified to things which happened to her when she was five.
This Celebrity Prosecutor Has A Perfect Record Of Convictions, And A History of Withholding Evidence | The Daily Caller In this case, celebrity prosecutor Anna Sigga Nicolazzi used a series of tricks to get her perfect record.
Did Robert Reynolds Get Set-Up - Michael Volpe Investigates (substack.com) Reynolds was convicted when three people caught with drugs pointed the finger at him as their supplier. His conviction was entirely based on testimony of people who took deals, or bribes.
Has a Bogus Lineup Kept a Michigan Man in Jail Falsely Over Thirty Years (substack.com) Albert Drew was convicted based on a faulty line up in which he was the only one with an afro, the same style as the alleged perpetrator.
