Will DNA prove him innocent? P2 - Joshua Sedgmen

Joshua Sedgmen grew up in a chaotic home environment. He was moved from place to place, in and out of foster care and juvenile facilities. Stability was certainly not a word that featured in his early life.

At just 15, he set off into the world on his own. He wasn’t involved in gangs or drugs, but he admits he committed crimes to survive—stealing, he says, to buy food, clothing, and to keep the heating on in properties he squatted in.

In 2012, Joshua was arrested alongside his brother and charged with receiving stolen goods—specifically, jewellery estimated to be worth one million dollars. His brother had stolen it during a home burglary. Josh didn’t fight the conviction. He admits he was guilty and says he’s never fought any of his arrests—he saw it as part of his life. He got caught, and he took his punishment.

After serving his sentence, he returned home determined to turn his life around. But just weeks later, he was arrested again—this time for an armed robbery. A crime, he insists, he had nothing to do with.

According to Joshua, the real culprits were his brother and two other individuals—people who were arrested just hours after the crime took place, with the stolen goods and two masks used in the robbery in their possession. Masks that, he believes, could prove his innocence—if they’re tested for DNA.

The problem? That testing costs thousands of dollars.
