True Crime
This is a podcast about injustice experienced by innocent US citizens subjected to the bias, discrimination, inherent latent racism and corruption in the US criminal justice system. We feature people falsely imprisoned for years and decades, and sometimes executed when they were innocent of the crimes for which they were convicted. We witness hidden exculpatory evidence, police who abuse, torture and beat innocent citizens into false guilty pleadings and coerced confessions. We witness how the US justice system clearly outnumbers and overwhelms all but the most wealthy among us. We see how a typical US citizen, once accused, is the mythical man that brings a knife to a gunfight. Sometimes the gun is a pistol, sometimes an AK47, other times a 50mm machine gun, and occasionally an Abrams tank., Regardless of caliber, the weapon is used to ostensibly protect the rest of us 'law abiding' citizens. One way or another, we voted this system into existence, or we approved willingly in one way or another; by shouting approvingly of criminal convictions by any means, or sat idly by but still voting for 'law and order' candidates to protect ourselves and whom we love from criminality exaggerated by politicians, police and prosecutors.

S1EP19 Minisode Abernathy (Chicago) and Modhal (CA)
12/21/2020
On this episode of The Injustice Files, we take a look at two cases involving police and prosecutors hiding evidence from defendant's lawyers; an unconstitutional breach of The Brady Rule.

S1EP18 Minisode Tulia 35 (Texas) and Nash (Missouri)
12/6/2020
On this episode of The Injustice Files we look into two cases with an odd common theme. It's not just the absurdity of our first case of 35 people in a small Texas town, largely comprised of 5000 African American folk arrested for dealing powder cocaine, all arrested on the same day. Nor is it the case of Don Nash, who was arrested 26 years after his ex-girlfriend's murder in 1982 in Missouri.
In both cases, eventually, with the absurdity of the evidence and conclusion-jumping by...

In our second story, we look...

Falsely accused and with no actual evidence connecting him to the rape, he was nonetheless found guilty and sentenced to two life terms without parole.

Eventually, he makes friends with some men and is moved to a less dangerous unit inside Death Row. He encounters Robert Carter, and hearing what Sebesta did to convict him, forgives...
