  • #18: Vendetta

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25, in today's episode Vendetta we will be covering how a presidential appointed federal agent and bureaucrat demanded justice with such impetus that the constitutional rights of the accused was essentially trampled so as to achieve that end.

    I had hoped that the issues of my innocence  and the illegality of my conviction would be resolved through the judicial channels of the appellate process here in New Mexico.

    But something happened in early 2019 while seated before the honorable Jacqueline Flores in an evidentiary hearing. John McCall, my lawyer at the time, returned to the defense table from the bench conference and suddenly informed me that I was not going to receive justice on my case due to “external influences.”

    What are you talking about? What external influences? I said.

    McCall signaled to none other than Richard T. Taylor, U.S. Marshall assigned by President Trump, who was seated behind A.D.A. Treich.

    To say the least, I was incensed but not surprised. After all, I had been on the receiving end of U.S. Marshall Taylor’s Wrath for the last 15 years at that point. And months later, when the honorable Flores issued her opinion, John McCall’s words were confirmed as prophetic.

  • #17: Business Dealings That Lead To A Murder

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25, in today's episode business dealings that lead to a murder we discuss never before heard details of my case regarding the events leading up to that fateful day.  Investigative details that have never seen the light by law enforcement or media.  

    How could the victim's wallet make its way from New Mexico all the way to Arizona? The day it was found only 10 people had checked into the health club - one of them being my ex-father in law who had made threats against me and made me fear for my life.

    How could law enforcement ignore these facts?

    Apart from that - I was denied my constitutional rights to a fair trial - Denied my right to confront my accuser in court.  This is why I continue to fight.

    In today's episode we cover everything in full.

  • #15: Hope

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25, in today's episode Hope we go 

    A listener from crime and justice broadcast visited site and asked a follow up question:

    He asked, "Is it better to be filled with hope that may often be false, or just remain hopeless?"

    I wanted to answer this question on today's podcast.

    Whether you wake up one day from your dream and find yourself in the nightmare of suddenly being a double amputee, or in a concentration camp, or a prison, or you're fired from your job or marriage, or maybe you're bankrupt or deathly ill...

    Whatever it is, either you choose to permit that circumstance to define or destroy you, or you choose to make a new you, a better and more resilient you. That's life.

    Listen here for the full episode going over hope and what it really means as I fight for justice, freedom and exoneration.

  • #14: The Challenges We Now Face

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25, in today's episode The Challenges We Now Face we wanted to update everyone on where I, Mario Chavez, am currently standing in my fight for freedom and exoneration.

    Well it appears that we have finally exhausted of our legal claims in the New Mexico Courts. Our demands for justice based on legitimate constitutional claims have been once again met with silence.


    Now we step into the Federal Courts. Will they adhere to the law? Let us not hope, let us make sure.

    Because when the courts become arbitrary they likewise become illegitimate. The facts of the state’s case against me are entirely circumstantial, the Constitution says my conviction is illegal, and the state Justices are silent.

    Why?

    Listen to the full episode now to listen to where we are and how we are going about this fight, and what our next step will be.

  • #13: Speaking Truth To Power

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25 in today's episode Speaking Truth To Power we go over the challenges and the realities of incarceration in the state of New Mexico in the United States.

    We are the forgotten voices, men who are said to have offended the laws and proprieties of the communities from which we have come, and are therefore not worthy to walk amongst you but, nonetheless, here we are having the courage to speak truth to power for our collective good—yours and ours.

    Basically, we're talking about a racket of transferring funds from the pockets of the taxpayers to the pockets of the corporations like Geo and Core Civic for a rehabilitative service not being delivered. And this is precisely why New Mexicans should care.

    We need the state legislature and Governor Grisham-Lujan to act. Private prisons need to be closed. The Secretary of Corrections needs to clean house and install qualified professionals who see those who are incarcerated as opportunities, future professionals, and loving parents that are capable of being reformed.

    Listen here for the full episode where we dive deep on this.

  • #11: Colorism Vs. Racism

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25, in today's episode Colorism vs. Racism we go over different experiences with colorism and racism in the real world.  Today's topic was inspired by a question by a reader asking, "Do you believe you are still in prison because you are Mexican and Latino?"

    I have to admit that this question startled me and a little bit shaken.  Racism is a reality that may latinos are faced with, but do I really think this is the reason I still haven't got out? In today's episode I share the response I sent to the listener, while going deep on the topic of racism in the United States and around the world.

  • #10: The Myth Of The Superpredators - An Interview With An Inmates Wife

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25, in today's episode The Myth Of The Superpredators - An Interview With An Inmates Wife we interview Jessica Brown, wife of Michael Brown.  

    Michael Brown, was charged in 1994, at the age of 16, for his participation in the double homicide of his loving grandparents, Ed and Marie. The actual, proven murderers were two adolescent friends of Michael, but the state argued and proved to a jury that he had been complicit to the crime for having entertained certain conversations of potential violence with aforementioned friends and, for not having done anything to actively stop the murders from taking place.

    In this episode we talk with his wife about her experience appealing the case and working to free Michael from the system.  She answers whether or not the Justice System has helped Michael, and we talk about the true horrors that some inmates face for making a mistake as a teen and paying the price for the rest of their life..
