What the attorney thinks - John Merritt

What the attorney thinks - John Merritt

"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.
