Freedom 27 years in the making - Damian Skinner

In this episode of One Minute Remaining, I sit down with Jessie Milo, an inmate at the infamous San Quentin State Prison.Jessie has been handed a sentence that might suggest he ranks among the likes of Ted Bundy or the BTK Killer—yet Jessie has never taken a life. His true crime is a series of incredibly poor life choices. With a childhood spent on drug runs with his mother at just five years old and a father who was repeatedly sent to prison, it's little wonder Jessie found himself following a similar path.Jessie opens up about life behind the storied walls of San Quentin, the challenges of incarceration—including nearly eight years spent in solitary confinement—and the personal journey that led him there. From navigating the harsh realities of prison culture to sharing his thoughts on redemption and reform, Jessie’s story provides a raw and unfiltered glimpse into life on the inside.One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now 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.

On 31 January 2017, Mary Rice claimed that a man named William Boyette broke into her trailer and woke her at gunpoint. She said she had previously had little to do with Boyette, who was now, according to her, forcing her to leave with him in the middle of the night. Just hours earlier, Billy Boyette had murdered two women in a motel room, fatally shooting them both.What followed was a week-long manhunt and killing spree that left four women dead, Billy Boyette committing suicide, and Mary Rice arrested as his accomplice. Mary has always maintained that she was just another of Billy's victims—kidnapped and forced to accompany him on his crime spree.The police, however, told a different story. Authorities believed Mary was a willing participant in Boyette’s crimes and subsequently charged her with murder and accessory after the fact. She was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years.This is her story, as told by her from her prison cell.One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now 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.
