What the attorney thinks - Christopher Dunn

On todays episode I speak with Dr Thomas Young. Author of the book 'The Sherlock Effect', I contacted Dr. Young initially to get his thoughts on the findings of the medical examiner in the case of Saul Contreras. After sending him the report Dr Young messaged me back almost instantly and told me to call him. What followed was a fascinating chat for almost 45mins on what he says is a terribly disturbing situation happening in courts across the United States and in fact the world. Thomas W. Young, MD has over thirty years of experience as a full-time forensic pathologist. Since January of 2007, Dr. Young has provided consultant services in forensic pathology as a self-employed person, consulting in cases throughout the United States and in other areas of the world. Prior to his self-employment, Dr. Young was the Jackson County Medical Examiner for 11 1/2 years, serving as the chief death investigator for metropolitan Kansas City on the Missouri side of the state line. Dr. Young's book, The Sherlock Effect, is available from Routledge Taylor & Francis Group: Dr. Young's website is www.heartlandforensic.com.Become a member of the OMR family and get bonus extras here.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.

Saul has spent almost 20 years in prison for a crime he says he did not commit.The victim, Jazmine Contreras, was just 22 months old when she died on Thanksgiving weekend in 2003. That tragedy was compounded when police immediately developed a theory that Saul had inflicted injuries that caused her death and, through alleged threats and other tactics, coerced what Saul says is a false confession.Over the next few episodes Saul talks us through what exactly happened that night.I'd like to thank Jane Lewis and the team from Proclaim Justice for her help in facilitating this interview.Find out more about Proclaim Justice and Saul's case heA big thank you to Dr Thomas Young for joining me in todays episode.

Recently I caught up with Jnr after I got word that he had a recent hearing that was the most positive yet!Evaristo Salas was accused of firing two shots into Jose Arreola’s head in Sunnyside in November 1995.He was tried as an adult and convicted by a jury of first-degree murder three days after his 16th birthday and was sentenced to nearly 33 years in prison. The gun used in the murder was never recovered and there was no physical evidence linking Jnr to the killing.His conviction was based on the testimony of a police informant, Bill Bruhn, and Arreola’s girlfriend, Ofelia Cortez (formerly Gonzalez), who was there when her partner was shot.Many TV shows have uncovered horrific truths about the so called 'evidence' in this case, yet Jnr still remains incarcerated.This is his story, as told by him.Join the OMR family and get bonus extras HEREHOTLINE:03 5294 0569 Got a Question about a case? comment or just thoughts you'd like to share.
