One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

On Aug. 23, 1984, Mary Flynn had been visiting her brother Martin Flynn and his wife, Kate, looking for houses for sale in their neighborhood. That night, around 10 p.m., a neighbor saw Flynn walking from her Toyota Tercel to the back door of her home after her visit to her brother and his wife. Hours later, she was dead. The next day, concerned that Mary hadn’t shown up for work and unable to rea...

Last year, I introduced you to the case of Dustin Turner, a man who has long maintained his innocence while serving a sentence that has kept him behind bars for decades for the murder of Jennifer Evans. He and his co-accused, Billy Brown, were sentenced to 75 and 85 years behind bars without the possibility of parole. Since his conviction, Dustin has consistently denied he played any part in Jenni...

Across this seven-episode series we go on a wild ride through allegations of assault, corruption, and murder for hire which, Derek claimed, all led to his wrongful conviction. Strap yourselv...

For many men and women incarcerated across the United States, once all legal options for release have been exhausted, there is often one last avenue to hope for: clemency. Clemency in most states is at the discretion of a single person – the governor. This is not to be confused with presidential pardons, as the president can only grant clemency in federal cases, while state-level clemency sits wit...

In today’s episode, I catch up with John Merritt, who’s been navigating a very serious health crisis. John talks me through how a growth on his head was left untreated for so long that he was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with cancer. He underwent surgery, but the doctor who operated on him failed to recognise just how severe the situation really was. John explains what the last few months have...

Now, more than 20 years later, David is still fighting for a resentencing hearing. We talk about how that fight is progressing, and about a recent stint in confinement following an issue with his cellmate. Despite the contraband not being his, David was punis...

Today I catch up with Jeremy Cain for an update on what’s been happening with his case since we last spoke. After his story aired on One Minute Remaining , the community of Pleasant Grove came together to raise awareness and funds to support the Cain brothers. Their efforts made it possible to hire an attorney — but what, if anything, did that attorney achieve? And where does the case stand now? I...

Today I catch up with Tariq Maqbool to get the latest on his bid for clemency with the governor. We explore life inside prison and what happens when men become institutionalised, incarcerated for so long that freedom itself becomes something to fear. Many struggle with the idea of release, stepping back into the shadows rather than walking into the light. Tariq also opens up about his favourite fi...

In that time, I’ve told the stories of more than 50 prisoners, many facing decades behind bars. From murder and arson to drug trafficking, gang warfare and stay at home mums convicted of attempted murder, I’ve heard it all. I’v...
