Today I catch up with David Bomber as he looks to ask the Governor for clemency in his case....On June 5th, 2010, the David Bomber would meat Larry Michael Worrell II for the very first time at the pool at the apartment complex where they both Lived. A short time later, Worrell and David left the pool area and began drinking. Later, Worrell and David would pick up David's girlfriend at the time, who also met Worrell for the first time that day.David says that Michael, a former Marine would talk of his PTSD and becoming increasingly distraught, eventually snapping in a rage and placing David in a "military-style" chokehold to the point that he nearly lost consciousness, which occurred inside his own apartment.It was at this point that his girlfriend intervened, enabling David to escape from Worrell's grasp where he then fled to his kitchen. After being pursued by Worrell, David armed himself with a STEAK KNIFE and stabbed him in the chest ONE TIME.David says he would attempt first aid but it wasn't working. He would make the decision to flea the scene and was later arrested.Sadly, on January 15th, 2011, Michael Worrell passed away from complications from the wound and David's charges would be upgraded to include second degree murder.David lost his case of self defense and was sentenced to 41 years 60 Days.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 January 10, 2000, Raymundo Chagolla, who was 18 years old at the time, was at home recovering from the flu and watching The Simpsons. Around 8:40 p.m. at the Stardust Motel in Riverside, California, a tragic incident occurred. Billy Medlin, a resident of the hotel, was helping someone at the motel’s soda machine when a man approached them. The man yelled at Medlin, referred to him as “white boy homie,” and shot and killed him. The shooter then fled towards the back alley, firing his gun at the building before disappearing from view.Despite the prosecution being unable to establish a clear motive for the shooting, Raymundo was charged and convicted based on contaminated eyewitness identifications and unrecorded hearsay statements. Raymundo consistently maintained that he was at home during the shooting and cooperated with the police throughout the investigation.During the trial, it was not disclosed to the defense that there were others who had a clear motive to want Medlin dead.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.

Well it's that time again! Today we catch up with the man they call 'The voice of reason' Michael Leonard is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the US justice system. He has over 30 years of experience as a defense attorney and always brings incredible incites and thoughts to the cases we discuss.Today we talk about the case of Gerald L Johnson. Charged with felony murder after being involved in a police chase which would end in disaster as an innocent women is killed when Gerald collided with her vehicle. Gerald was accused of carrying a firearm at the time of the crash and this fact alone would see him charged with Felony Murder. Gerald says he didn't have a gun that day and that the prosecutor fabricated one in order to charge him with a more serious crime. So what does Mr. Leonard think?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.
