Jason Vukovich, also known as the "Alaskan Avenger," was a victim of physical and sexual abuse. He endured a childhood of beatings and rape at the hands of the man who was supposed to be his protector, his stepfather, Larry Lee Fulton. Fulton married Jason's mother and adopted him at the tender age of four.
The childhood abuse led Jason down a dark path to becoming the hammer-wielding "Alaskan Avenger" on the hunt for pedophiles. He is now serving 23 years at the Spring Creek Correctional Center for assaulting three pedophiles.
After nine years of incarceration for his crimes Jason is leaving prison. He will be on probation and being monitored via ankle monitor but he will no longer be confined to his cell and will be able to be in the community and an active member of society.

Wrongful Conviction - Maggie Freleng

When you hear that someone has been handed a sentence of life plus 104 years you'd be forgiven for thinking that today I am sitting down with some sort of serial killer, or someone who has committed some incredibly heinous crimes but you'd be wrong.
Brad Hays is currently serving his incredible sentence in the state of Missouri. Brad is no career criminal, in fact up until this sentence he had never been to prison. Brad Hays did not kill anyone, he wasn't even present when someone was killed, in fact no one died at all in Brad's case. 
So how and why has Brad been essentially handed a death sentence? 
This is the story of Bradley Hays as told by him from his prison cell.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Asking for clemency - David Bomber

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
