One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

In 1985, Charles McCrory found his wife, Julie Bonds, brutally murdered in their Andalusia, Alabama, home. Just two small marks on her arm—misrepresented in court as a definitive “bite mark”—became the sole forensic evidence used to convict him for her murder. A forensic odontologist, famed for testifying at Ted Bundy’s trial, claimed the impressions matched McCrory’s like a fingerprint. Yet decad...

Todays guest is certainly different and unlike anyone I've spoken with so far, todays guest, although having a long and successful career putting bad people behind bars, one in which we will discuss, would round out his career in the public service protecting the most famous family in the world, The British Royal family.

John Crawley was born in New York to Irish immigrant parents, and moved to Ireland as a young teenager to attend school.  Inspired there by the struggle for Irish freedom against British rule in the North of Ireland, he returned to America to receive military training in an elite, special forces “Recon” unit of the US Marine Corps. Afterward, he returned to Ireland to volunteer for the IRA an...

On December 11, 2000, Hani Zebib was fatally shot while working in his Detroit convenience store — a dream he had built after fleeing war-torn Lebanon in search of a better life. Among the young men involved in the robbery that day was Demel Dukes. Though Demel never pulled the trigger, he was sentenced to life without parole under the felony murder rule — a controversial legal doctrine that allow...

Today I catch up with Susan Brown. We recently heard Susan’s story—a woman serving life without parole for the murder of her former husband, a man she says attacked her. In what she describes as an act of self-defence, she stabbed him, inflicting injuries that would later prove fatal. Since airing her episode, I’ve received a flood of messages, and there’s been plenty of discussion in the Facebook...

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Michael Leonard of Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago — known to many of you as The Voice of Reason . Together, we unpack the troubling case of Joshua Sedgmen , a young man wrongfully convicted of armed robbery despite a complete lack of evidence tying him to the crime. Michael shares his expert legal opinion on the failings of the prosecution , the misuse a...

Former Lieutenant John Kennedy was a decorated officer with the Detroit Police Department—a man driven by a deep desire to help others, protect the innocent, and bring criminals to justice. Over the course of his career, he was shot at multiple times, struck by a car, arrested countless suspects, and even served on close protection detail, prepared to take a bullet for someone else. But today, thi...

This week, I sit down with the founder of Firefly Advocates , a grassroots organisation in the United States dedicated to supporting incarcerated individuals and fighting for justice reform. We discuss what inspired the creation of Firefly, the challenges of advocacy work behind prison walls, and the power of human connection in some of the darkest corners of the justice system. From wrongful conv...

Joshua Sedgmen grew up in a chaotic home environment. He was moved from place to place, in and out of foster care and juvenile facilities. Stability was certainly not a word that featured in his early life. At just 15, he set off into the world on his own. He wasn’t involved in gangs or drugs, but he admits he committed crimes to survive—stealing, he says, to buy food, clothing, and to keep the he...

It’s fair to say that while Dorice was the first story I ever told, it was my very first conversation with Kimberly Boone that truly changed the course of my working life. I first spoke with Kim almost three years ago. At the time, she was working as a law clerk inside prison, helping Dorice with her case and fighting to get her back into court. That was Kim’s job — to assist the women around her,...

Recently, I caught up with Temujin Kensu, a man who has been incarcerated since 1986 for a crime he couldn't possibly have committed. Temujin has endured a great deal over his nearly 40 years behind bars, and as he gets older, his health issues have become a daily struggle. This struggle has recently been made even harder by the MDOC confiscating items he relies on to manage his medical needs. In...

You may know him from TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram—clips from his courtroom have gone viral across the globe. Judge David Fleischer has become something of an internet sensation, not for theatrics or harsh sentences, but for his calm, compassionate, and fair approach to justice. In this special episode of One Minute Remaining , I sit down with Judge Fleischer to discuss what it's really like behi...

We recently wrapped up the story of Susan Brown and since then I have had a number of people ask me the same question, what happened to Susan's baby? Well recently Susan and I caught up to talk about her baby, who is now a young man as well as the oddities of daily life for those incarcerated.  "The story of how I got here is deeply painful. Years ago I was married to a man who was merci...

The story of Tariq Maqbool is one that had not been told in over 20 years. A man who was found guilty of a brutal double homicide in 2002—of Joong Ahn, 45, and his nephew, Mun Ahn, 28—on the night of November 1. On April 27, 2005, he was found guilty and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. During his time of incarceration, he decided to keep to himself and would not allow anyone t...
