What the attorney thinks - John Ortiz-kehoe

As we wrap up the case of John Ortiz-Kehoe, it’s that time again—where we sit down with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason.' A man with decades of trial experience as a defence attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois—Mr. Michael Leonard.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1993, 18-year-old Rose Larner went missing. After six days without contact, her mother reported her disappearance to the police, initiating the largest and most extensive search and investigation in Lansing, Michigan's history.

Over three years passed before police finally got a breakthrough. In April 1996, a man named Billy Brown, a childhood friend of Rose, contacted the authorities, saying he wanted to talk.

Brown told police that he was with Rose the night she died but claimed he was not her killer. He alleged that he had witnessed Rose being murdered in a brutal fashion by another man, John Ortiz-kehoe.

Eventually, John was arrested in Mexico and extradited to the United States, where he was tried and convicted for the murder. However, John maintains that the crime was actually committed by the very man who implicated him—Billy Brown.

This is John’s account of what happened that night and why he believes he became the scapegoat for this heinous crime.
