Injustice in America : The Keith St. Aubin story

You've heard of wrongful convictions. But have you heard of AEDPA — the law that keeps those convictions locked in?

In this episode of Injustice in America, we expose AEDPA — the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act — a law passed in 1996 that's quietly become a silent killer of justice. It slams the door on appeals, blocks new evidence, and gives federal courts an excuse to look away — even when the truth is screaming to be heard.

We break down how this law affects innocent people like Keith Michael St. Aubin, who's been serving a life sentence since age 19. His case was overcharged, the courts admitted it — but AEDPA has kept him trapped.

If you're not angry yet, you will be.

Justice isn't just delayed — it's being buried alive.

Tune in, learn the truth, and help us fight back.

In this gripping episode, we confront the uncomfortable truth most people avoid — the gun. Keith St. Aubin, a 19-year-old college student, faced a life-or-death decision the night he was attacked. This episode tackles the unspoken reality behind his case: the right to self-defense in a world that punishes survival.

We break down the legal failures, the silence of the justice system, and the devastating impact of a split-second choice. Why is Keith still behind bars 27 years later? Why did the court ignore his right to testify? And why does no one want to talk about the elephant in the room?

He wanted to speak. He needed to be heard. But Keith St. Aubin's own attorney made sure the jury never heard his side of the story. In this episode, we expose how a defense that promised to protect him instead kept him silent—costing him everything.

At 19, Keith St. Aubin's brain was still developing—but the court treated him like a hardened adult. This episode explores how brain science proves youth should matter in sentencing—and why ignoring it cost Keith his freedom. Justice must evolve with the truth. #JusticeForKeith #InjusticeInAmerica

When Keith Michael St. Aubin said the words, “I don't want any trouble,” he meant it. He tried to walk away. He tried to avoid the fight. But when he was attacked and forced to defend himself, the system turned against him.

This episode breaks down what really happened — the evidence, the witnesses, and the disturbing truth behind Keith's life sentence for a crime rooted in self-defense.

We dive into:

Keith didn't go looking for trouble. But trouble found him — and now he's paying the price for surviving.

Self-defense is not a crime. Silence is not an option.

In the premiere episode, Keith St. Aubin shares his story in his own words: how a night of self-defense turned into a nightmare of wrongful conviction. At just 19 years old, Keith defended himself against an attack — only to be charged with murder and sentenced to five life sentences. “I did what I had to do to survive, and I've been paying for it ever since,” Keith says. Hear firsthand how a broken system stole his freedom, and why after 27 years, he refuses to give up the fight for justice.
