Introducing Australian True Crime - The Real Life Romper Stomper

With the recent influx of new listeners, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to another one of my shows that I’m extremely proud of — WANTED. It’s a show where I interview men and women who are, or have been, wanted by authorities from around the world.Today, I bring you Part 1 of my chat with David McMillan.David McMillan has lived a life that is almost unbelievable — it’s like something straight out of a Hollywood crime thriller.Born in the UK to Australian parents, David travelled back and forth between the two countries a few times until, at the age of 10, his parents divorced. He, his sister, and his mother then made the permanent move to Melbourne.David was always different as a kid. He was expelled from school for trying to make a batch of LSD — perhaps a sign of things to come.At eighteen, David got a job at a city cinema where, by chance, he met some retired safe crackers — men who were looking to invest their money into the drug business. With no one else able to source it for them, David jumped in headfirst, changing the course of his entire life.He went on to make millions of dollars before an Australian task force swooped in, leading to him spending 10 years in maximum security prison in Victoria. Once released, David decided he was done with Australia and left for the UK — with a stopover in Thailand. It was a decision that would see him arrested again, this time facing the death penalty.Just two weeks before he was due to be executed by firing squad, David did something no other Westerner had ever achieved — he escaped.Get a copy of David's book hereJoin the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.

Today I’m checking in with the OG, Dorice Moore.I think by now everyone is well and truly across the story of Dorice and Abraham, so there’s no need for me to revisit the details of her case. But in a nutshell, she was convicted of the murder of lottery winner Abraham Lee Shakespeare—a crime she has always maintained she is innocent of.Dorice and I had a catch-up earlier this year. She’s still awaiting the outcome of her evidentiary hearing, based on newly discovered evidence—or at least, evidence she says she wasn’t given access to during her original trial. So, nothing has changed there. However, something else has been brewing in the background… and it’s suddenly come to a head.As one of the most televised cases I have covered in OMR it wouldn't be long before the producers came knocking again but this time Dorice was hopeful it might be different, maybe this time they'd hear her out.

We’ve just wrapped up the story of Susan Brown—a woman serving life without the possibility of parole for the murder of her former partner, a crime she has always claimed was an act of self-defence.So, what does The Voice of Reason think? Would he have handled the case differently? Does he believe there were issues with how it was investigated and prosecuted?Let’s find out, as Michael Leonard from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois weighs in on the case and Susan’s claims of self-defence.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"The story of how I got here is deeply painful. Years ago I was married to a man who was mercilessly verbally and mentally abusive to me and my children. I wanted to press through the anguish to keep our family together, but then his behavior escalated. I had no choice but to leave to protect our child.A year later, I had moved on and was 30 weeks pregnant with another man's child. My estranged husband was enraged and, in a volatile verbal exchange, stabbed me in my stomach. He then raped me. I fought back to defend myself. In a blur, I ended up in the hospital, with my child devastatingly born prematurely. I then learned that, while it was never my intention, my ex-husband died."These are the words of Susan Brown a lady serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for what she says was self defense.This is her story, as told by here from prison in Michigan.If you or someone you know needs help in relation to domestic violence or abuse please follow the links below.https://www.domesticshelters.org/https://strongwomentalking.org.au/Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.
