What If They’re Wrong? After the Accusation

The Relentless Case Against Elwood Jones


Listen Later

An overturned conviction. A fight to reinstate it. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

It’s been two years since journalist Amber Hunt updated the podcast world on the status of the case against Elwood Jones, an Ohio man who spent nearly 30 years on death row for a murder conviction that was overturned in late 2022. Judge Wende Cross said prosecutors had a “win at all costs mentality” and withheld nearly 4,000 investigatory documents that could have swayed jurors to acquit Jones.

Since then, the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office has seen a change in leadership, with a new top prosecutor who campaigned on promises of reform. Yet the office continues to pursue reinstatement of Jones’s conviction and recently argued before the Ohio Supreme Court.

Amber and producer Amanda Rossmann originally reported this story in the fourth season of the award-winning podcast Accused, which they created while working for The Cincinnati Enquirer. In this new feed, they pick up where they left off—with new developments, exclusive interviews, and fresh analysis of the high-stakes oral arguments just heard by the state’s highest court.
