One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Brad Hays was handed a sentence fit for a serial killer—life plus 104 years—yet in his case, no one died. Nonetheless, he is sentenced to spend the remainder of his life behind bars. Although Brad’s sentence may seem hopeless, he still has the possibility of one day sitting before a parole board and asking to be sent home. That was until his girlfriend looked up his charges online and noticed something that shouldn’t have been there. It would seem someone had added an extra charge after Brad had already been sentenced—years later.Brad recently sent me a message to share the news, and we immediately got on the phone to discuss the situation—one that he says could have ruined any chance of him ever going home.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.

We recently wrapped up the story of Arkeene Broaden a young man who says he is innocent of the crime he's been convicted of but what does an expert think?As always it's time to catch up with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason' Mr Michael Leonard of Leonard trial lawyers in Chicargo Ilanois.________________________________________________________At 18 years old, Wayne County charged Arkeene and his 16-year-old friend, Cody Clark, with felony murder, robbery, conspiracy, and felony firearm in connection with the June 2015 shooting death of their close friend, Martez Johnson, at a house on Heyden Street around 10:00 PM.Authorities alleged that Arkeene drove Cody and Martez to meet Andre Thomas with the intent to rob Martez. They claimed that once they arrived, Cody and Martez went inside while Arkeene stayed in the car. Inside the house, Cody allegedly shot Martez in the head when Martez tried to escape.Arkeene demanded a trial, but after the jury was selected, his attorney passed away. The next attorney pushed him to accept a plea deal. Initially, the offer was for 18 years, then reduced to 14 years. Despite Arkeene repeatedly insisting on going to trial because of his innocence, the attorney continued pressuring him. Eventually, the plea offer was reduced to 8 years, plus an additional 2 years for the gun charge. The attorney warned that if Arkeene did not take the deal, he would face life in prison.Young, afraid, and unfamiliar with the legal system, Arkeene ultimately accepted the plea deal to avoid the possibility of a life sentence. He now believes that if he had been aware of all the evidence, he would have rejected the plea and insisted on going to trial.Later, Arkeene’s family hired Professional Investigator Steve Crane from ACS Professional Investigations to conduct a proper investigation into the case.

Today, we catch up with the OG—the woman who started it all over two years ago—Dorice "Dee Dee" Moore.I first reached out to Dorice more than six years ago after reading about her story, and we've been chatting on and off ever since.Dorice was charged and convicted of the murder of Abraham Lee Shakespeare over fourteen years ago—a crime she has always maintained her innocence of.Over the years, she has given several interviews to journalists and media outlets, but from what I’ve seen and heard, she has never truly been given the chance to share her side of the story without bias from the interviewer. That’s exactly what I set out to do, and so this journey began.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.

A man with decades of trial experience as a defence attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois—Mr. Michael Leonard.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In 1993, 18-year-old Rose Larner went missing. After six days without contact, her mother reported her disappearance to the police, initiating the largest and most extensive search and investigation in Lansing, Michigan's history.Over three years passed before police finally got a breakthrough. In April 1996, a man named Billy Brown, a childhood friend of Rose, contacted the authorities, saying he wanted to talk.Brown told police that he was with Rose the night she died but claimed he was not her killer. He alleged that he had witnessed Rose being murdered in a brutal fashion by another man, John Ortiz-kehoe.Eventually, John was arrested in Mexico and extradited to the United States, where he was tried and convicted for the murder. However, John maintains that the crime was actually committed by the very man who implicated him—Billy Brown.This is John’s account of what happened that night and why he believes he became the scapegoat for this heinous crime.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.
