Join us this week as we break down everything that happened at the last show. And get you ready for this Saturday Night! At the last show Double J finally got a measure of retribution against “Bad” Brad. But it seemingly came with the cost of his freedom. We will have the latest on this developing story. Speaking of wars being waged in the Valiant Arena. Some bombs were dropped in the matchup between “The Suicide King” Ray Ray and “The Unhinged” Will cage. Also we found out the two teams that will wage war for the #1 contenders spot in the tag team division. It will be Lethal Injection taking on Maxx Stone and AD Sky! Will Lethal Injection continue their ascension back to the top? Or will Maxx and AD be able to shut down the duo for good. And finally we found out just who Double J will be leading into battle on July 28th. As “Bad” Brad came out to gloat about the havoc he had caused. Joey Britt came down to inform Brad that the 3 were chosen and in his words “They’re here”! At that moment the arena was enveloped in darkness and when the lights returned. “Bad” Brad was sent scurrying from ringside as the Maniae were revealed. Now that we know one half of this tag match and ASWF seemed to win the opening skirmish. You gotta wonder how the self proclaimed “Mr 99%” will respond

In 1999, Alstory Simon pled guilty to a crime he didn’t commit.  His plea came about after a private investigator and a Northwestern journalism professor and his students investigating a 1982 double murder case in Chicago decided that Simon was the “real killer” and fabricated evidence that led to Simon’s coerced and false confession.  The killer, Anthony Porter, was released from prison as a result of their investigation.  Not satisfied with freeing Porter, the investigator, professor and students gave false testimony to two grand juries convened in the case.  Simon was indicted by the second grand jury, based on the false testimony offered by Porter’s advocates.  Simon spent the next 15 years challenging his plea.  He was released in 2014.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on Tuesday, June 26, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. CDT,  for an interview with Martin Preib a Chicago police officer and the author of Crooked City, whose work on the documentary Murder in the Park helped free Simon from prison and William Crawford, a former reporter, writer and legal affairs columnist for the Chicago Tribune and the author of Justice Perverted:  How The Innocence Project at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism Sent an Innocent Man to Prison.   We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.

On July 31, 2009, Mohammed Shihadeh contacted Florida police to report a murder-for-hire plot.  During an interview with the Boynton Beach Police Department, Shihadeh advised detectives that a woman he knew only as “Delilah” was trying to find a hitman to kill her husband of six months.  On August 1, 2009, Shihadeh, while wearing a wire and with a video camera hidden in his car, met with Dalia Dippolito in the parking lot of a Mobil gas station in Boynton Beach, Florida.  After a 6-day investigation, on August 5, 2009, Dalia Dippolito was arrested and charged with solicitation to commit first degree murder.  In spite of the audio and video evidence collected during the investigation, Dippolito’s legal team claimed that she was acting and had no intent to murder her husband.   Join Michael Carnahan and Lisa O’Brien for a discussion of the evidence against Dippolito, her improbable defense to the charges and the twists and turns the case took, while she spent 8 years on house arrest.

On June 9, 2008, friends discovered the body of Travis Alexander in his shower at his home in Mesa, Arizona.  They immediately suspected Jodi Arias, an ex-girlfriend.  Initially, Arias seemed to have an ironclad alibi based on her trip to Utah from her home in Yreka, California on the day of the murder.  Once evidence at the crime scene linked her to the murder, Arias told admitting to being present, but blamed the murder on masked intruders, who mysteriously let her leave unscathed.  While in jail awaiting extradition and later while she awaited trial, she scheduled interviews with the media, appearing on Inside Edition and 48 Hours.  She was convicted of first-degree, premeditated murder in May, 2013 and eventually sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in April, 2015.  Join Michael Carnahan and Lisa O’Brien on June 12, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. CDT, for a discussion of the case against Arias, including her changing stories, her unsuccessful attempts to create an alibi and the protracted saga of her trials.  We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.

And now with that victory Steve-O will get his long anticipated matchup with Mark Wolf for the ASWF Championship
