In 'One Minute Remaining' I speak with inmates serving lengthy prison sentences for a range of different crimes. From arson to robbery, attempted murder and even murder itself and everything in between.
I'm not here to try and prove them innocent or guilty, what I am here to do is allow them the chance to tell their stories. We'll look at the case's against them and allow them to tell us their accounts of the events that lead up to their incarceration.

Mon, 10 Feb 2025 - 26min - 268 - The Deafening Silence of Time: Dorice Moore
Today, we catch up with the OG—the woman who started it all over two years ago—Dorice "Dee Dee" Moore.
I first reached out to Dorice more than six years ago after reading about her story, and we've been chatting on and off ever since.
Dorice was charged and convicted of the murder of Abraham Lee Shakespeare over fourteen years ago—a crime she has always maintained her innocence of.
Over the years, she has given several interviews to journalists and media outlets, but from what I’ve seen and heard, she has never truly been given the chance to share her side of the story without bias from the interviewer. That’s exactly what I set out to do, and so this journey began.

As we wrap up the case of John Ortiz-Kehoe, it’s that time again—where we sit down with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason.' A man with decades of trial experience as a defence attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois—Mr. Michael Leonard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1993, 18-year-old Rose Larner went missing. After six days without contact, her mother reported her disappearance to the police, initiating the largest and most extensive search and investigation in Lansing, Michigan's history.
Over three years passed before police finally got a breakthrough. In April 1996, a man named Billy Brown, a childhood friend of Rose, contacted the authorities, saying he wanted to talk.
Brown told police that he was with Rose the night she died but claimed he was not her killer. He alleged that he had witnessed Rose being murdered in a brutal fashion by another man, John Ortiz-kehoe.
Eventually, John was arrested in Mexico and extradited to the United States, where he was tried and convicted for the murder. However, John maintains that the crime was actually committed by the very man who implicated him—Billy Brown.
This is John’s account of what happened that night and why he believes he became the scapegoat for this heinous crime.

Mon, 13 Jan 2025 - 31min - 260 - A sentence fit for a serial killer - Jessie Milo P2
In this episode of One Minute Remaining, I sit down with Jessie Milo, an inmate at the infamous San Quentin State Prison.
Jessie has been handed a sentence that might suggest he ranks among the likes of Ted Bundy or the BTK Killer—yet Jessie has never taken a life. His true crime is a series of incredibly poor life choices. With a childhood spent on drug runs with his mother at just five years old and a father who was repeatedly sent to prison, it's little wonder Jessie found himself following a similar path.
Jessie opens up about life behind the storied walls of San Quentin, the challenges of incarceration—including nearly eight years spent in solitary confinement—and the personal journey that led him there. From navigating the harsh realities of prison culture to sharing his thoughts on redemption and reform, Jessie’s story provides a raw and unfiltered glimpse into life on the inside.

Well, it's that time again! We've just wrapped up what is arguably the case that has caused the most division among our jury members—the story of Mary Rice. Accomplice or Victim? That’s the question on everyone’s mind.
So, what does a professional think? Enter the man they call the Voice of Reason, Michael Leonard. With over 30 years of trial experience as a defence attorney, he's a man who's heard it all. Does Michael believe Mary was a victim? And how would he have handled her case differently? Let’s find out.

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 - 26min - 253 - kidnapped or Complicit: - P6 Mary Rice
On 31 January 2017, Mary Rice claimed that a man named William Boyette broke into her trailer and woke her at gunpoint. She said she had previously had little to do with Boyette, who was now, according to her, forcing her to leave with him in the middle of the night. Just hours earlier, Billy Boyette had murdered two women in a motel room, fatally shooting them both.
What followed was a week-long manhunt and killing spree that left four women dead, Billy Boyette committing suicide, and Mary Rice arrested as his accomplice. Mary has always maintained that she was just another of Billy's victims—kidnapped and forced to accompany him on his crime spree.
The police, however, told a different story. Authorities believed Mary was a willing participant in Boyette’s crimes and subsequently charged her with murder and accessory after the fact. She was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years.
This is her story, as told by her from her prison cell.

Christopher Dunn has been fighting for his freedom for almost 34 years after a wrongful conviction. Recently, he finally obtained that freedom when a judge declared that no reasonable jury today, with the new evidence presented, would convict him.The judge moved to have Chris released from prison.
Unfortunately, the attorney general of Missouri had other plans. They filed a motion to block Chris's release, forcing him to spend another week behind bars before he was ultimately sent home to his wife and family.
However, it seems the fight is not yet over. Chris, his lovely wife Kira, and I sat down together to discuss the ongoing battle surrounding his case.

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 - 25min - 238 - What the attorney thinks - John Merritt
"That shows the utter lack of concern and preparation for the case," says Michael Leonard, 'The Voice of Reason.'
He’s far from impressed with the defense attorney in the case of John Merritt, and he’s not holding back in today’s episode as we unpack the myriad issues surrounding this decades-old case.
John Merritt has been behind bars for longer than I’ve been alive. Like many of the men and women we speak to, John’s early life was marked by encounters with the law—mostly for petty, non-violent offences. He became trapped in a cycle, moving in and out of the system, until one day, while serving time for burglary, his life took an even darker turn.
A visit from a sheriff's investigator would change the course of his life forever, propelling him down an unexpected and terrifying path toward the death penalty for a crime he says he didn’t commit.
In the end, John faced a grim choice: life in prison or the electric chair.

Mon, 21 Oct 2024 - 30min - 233 - A life or death decision P2 - John Merritt
John Merritt has been behind bars for longer than I’ve been alive. Like many of the men and women we speak to, John’s early life was marked by run-ins with the law—mostly for petty, non-violent offences.
He became trapped in a cycle, moving in and out of the system. One day everything took an even darker turn while he was serving a sentence for burglary.
A visit from a sheriff's investigator would change the course of his life forever, setting him on an unexpected and terrifying path toward the death penalty for a crime, he says, he didn't commit.
Ultimately John would have to make a decision, a life of incarceration or the electric chair.

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 - 27min - 206 - Michigan's probable cause problem
The probable cause conference is generally mandatory under Michigan law unless the defense and prosecution both agree to waive the conference.
To waive the probable cause conference, the parties must present a written document to the court indicating that the conference and/or preliminary examination have been waived. In some situations, this waiver may occur in court on the record, in which case a written document signed by both parties is unnecessary.
Some time ago one prisoner in the Michigan DOC discovered that his probable cause hearing had just been completely missed. An entire step in the procedural process.
However not just his, thousands of inmates across Michigan also never got a probable cause hearing.
So what does this mean?

Today and over the next couple of episodes we are going to take a step out of prison and onto the other side of the bars and in fact the law as I sit down with a former Scotland Yard Detective... I was first introduced to Steve through my brother who for those who are not aware is himself a former police officer and host of his own podcast Protect and Serve. He had Steve on his show to discuss his career and some of the incredible cases that he has been apart of and I truly was fascinated by his story and so when the opportunity came up for me to chat with Steve for OMR I jumped at it.
Steve Keough spent 30 years working for the British Metropolitan police force starting his career in the early 90's and would very quickly decided that becoming a Detective was where his passion was.
In 2002 he would join Scotland Yards Anti Terrorist branch which would see him at ground zero investigating the horrific events of the 7/7 bombings his work on that tragic event would see him receiving a commendation from the commissioner of police in 2005.
In 2009 Steve joined Scotland yards Murder investigation team where he honed his skills in catching murders and putting them behind bars.
This conversation is fascinating as Steve takes us into the interview room and the mind of a killer, something he says we all have the capability of becoming.

I reached out to him and asked if he would chat with me to which he agreed.
What I didn't know at the time was not only is he a highly regarded professor and psychologist who has spent his life studying capital punishment and the psychological impact of and the American Prison system but he was also one of the researchers who conducted the 1970s experiment known as the Stanford prison experiment.

He found himself at a young age having a run in with the law that sent him down the wrong path. However after his first long stint behind bars he had made the decision that he was done and wanted to make a change.
He got a job and was about to become a father when all of a sudden his life would change forever and he would be handed a sentence that would see him incarcerated until his then unborn daughter would be 46 years old.

As always it's time to get the thoughts of OMR's voice of reason, a man with decades of experience as a defense attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago Illinois, Mr. Michael Leonard, as we discuss the case against Marcellus William's.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marcellus Williamswas handed a death sentence in 2001 for the murder of Felicia Gale, its a crime he not only says he didn't commit but one that a number of independent experts say DNA evidence has proved he's innocent of...
The threat of death is nothing new for the man who has spent over two decades in prison trying to fight his conviction, just a few weeks ago the Missouri Supreme court scheduled Marcellus to be executed on September 24th at 6pm.
it's in fact the third time he's been given a date and only narrowly escaped death by a couple of hours the last time.
I first came across his story when I saw a post that had been made by the innocence project who, a long with a number of other attorneys, has been fighting Marcellus's case for sometime.
After seeing his story I wanted to reach out to see if he and I could speak.
I wasn't keen on my chances as I have attempted to speak with others on death row before but with no joy. There sentence is usually carried out different to general population, they are confined to their cells in a form of solitary confinement with strict access to communication.
None the less I tracked down Marcellus and sent him a message, he replied telling me that he in fact had 24/7 access to a phone within his cell.
Seemingly a privileged offered to those who have been given their date.

Wed, 03 Jul 2024 - 23min - 194 - Facing 144 years P2 - Christopher Willars
On many occasions during the course of this shows life I have said on many occasions that I strongly believe we are all just one stupid decision away from potentially ruining our lives, that is especially true when we are young.
I made many poor decisions as a youngster, decisions that I look back on today and just thank my luck stars that they didn't go south.
Of course, some of us make poorer decisions than others, my decisions were made based on stupid judgments, usually fueled by alcohol, Chris Willars decision was based on a warped sense of family loyalty, wanting to belong and an underpinning anger.
Today Christopher Willars or 'life', as he's known to his friends, is a free man a changed man and a principal at a school.
So how did he go from looking down the barrel of 144 years in prison to where he is today?

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 - 39min - 191 - What the attorney thinks - Christopher Dunn
As always after each of the cases we look at it's time to catch up with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason' a man with decades of trial experience as a defense attorney in Chicago Illinois, Australia's favourite attorney at law, Michael Leonard, as we discuss the case of Christopher Dunn.
In 1991, Dunn was convicted of murder in St. Louis, Missouri, based largely on the testimonies of two teenagers who later recanted their statements. There was no physical evidence linking Dunn to the crime, and he consistently maintained his innocence. Despite these facts, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Over the years, multiple witnesses and even the original teenage accusers admitted that their testimonies were fabricated under police pressure.
Despite compelling evidence of his innocence and a judge even stating in 2020 that no jury would find him guilty today, legal hurdles have prevented his release, highlighting the systemic challenges faced by those wrongfully convicted.

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 - 30min - 189 - A bitter sweet freedom - Damian Skinner
Almost one year ago I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled across a page dedicated to one of the many innocence style organisations that is dotted across the united states, setup in response to thee overwhelming number of people who are incarcerated for crimes they didn't commit.
On the page there was a photograph of a young African American boy pictured with a big smile wearing a baseball outfit the name of that boy was Damian Skinner.... the story spoke of how Damian had been arrested tried and convicted for a murder in 1996, Damian had been convicted with next to no evidence, apart from a so called eye witness, who didn't even see the crime take place. He would tell police that he saw Damian in a car head in the direction of the crime and then moments later heard gun shots.
Damian's older brother was a known gang member and he said that police believed he'd in fact committed the crime but with no evidence to arrest him they brought Damian in and told him he would need to testify against his brother or face prison himself. He refused and sealed his fate..
Damian would spend the next almost 28 years fighting to clear his name without success. Eventually coming up for parole but was denied multiple times, the biggest hurdle was the fact that he was never willing to admit to the crime and thus in the eyes of the board he was not taking ownership or showing any remorse.
however on his most recent appearance he would have legal representation and a strong argument was put forward and finally he was granted his parole...
Almost 6 months later it's time to check in with Damian to see how he's doing as a free man.

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 - 31min - 187 - What the attorney thinks - Bradley Hayes
Today it's time to talk the case of Brad Hays with Australia's favourite attorney of law, Michael Leonard.
---------------------------------------------------------
When you hear that someone has been handed a sentence of life plus 104 years you'd be forgiven for thinking that today I am sitting down with some sort of serial killer, or someone who has committed some incredibly heinous crimes but you'd be wrong.
Brad Hays is currently serving his incredible sentence in the state of Missouri. Brad is no career criminal, in fact up until this sentence he had never been to prison. Brad Hays did not kill anyone, he wasn't even present when someone was killed, in fact no one died at all in Brad's case.
So how and why has Brad been essentially handed a death sentence?
This is the story of Bradley Hays as told by him from his prison cell.

Well it's that time again! Today I sit down with the man they call the voice of reason Mr. Michael Leonard from Leonard trial lawyers in Chicago Illinois to discuss the latest case, which today is the case of Raymundo Chagolla.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 10, 2000, Raymundo Chagolla, who was 18 years old at the time, was at home recovering from the flu and watching The Simpsons. Around 8:40 p.m. at the Stardust Motel in Riverside, California, a tragic incident occurred. Billy Medlin, a resident of the hotel, was helping someone at the motel’s soda machine when a man approached them. The man yelled at Medlin, referred to him as “white boy homie,” and shot and killed him. The shooter then fled towards the back alley, firing his gun at the building before disappearing from view.
Despite the prosecution being unable to establish a clear motive for the shooting, Raymundo was charged and convicted based on contaminated eyewitness identifications and unrecorded hearsay statements. Raymundo consistently maintained that he was at home during the shooting and cooperated with the police throughout the investigation.
During the trial, it was not disclosed to the defense that there were others who had a clear motive to want Medlin dead.

David Talley is a man currently serving a 100 year prison sentence inside a Florida penitentiary, David did not kill anyone, he did not assault anyone, he didn't even hurt anyone. David made poor decisions and yes put peoples lives in danger including his own.
He was addicted to drugs, he was stealing from gas stations after hours to pay for that addiction and was in a cycle of going in and out of prisons. David Talley deserved to be sent to prison for what he had done, however so far I have not come across one person who believes that he received an appropriate sentence for his crimes.
Today I'm asking for your help to get David home.

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 - 25min - 177 - Asking for clemency - David Bomber
Today I catch up with David Bomber as he looks to ask the Governor for clemency in his case....
On June 5th, 2010, the David Bomber would meat Larry Michael Worrell II for the very first time at the pool at the apartment complex where they both Lived. A short time later, Worrell and David left the pool area and began drinking. Later, Worrell and David would pick up David's girlfriend at the time, who also met Worrell for the first time that day.
David says that Michael, a former Marine would talk of his PTSD and becoming increasingly distraught, eventually snapping in a rage and placing David in a "military-style" chokehold to the point that he nearly lost consciousness, which occurred inside his own apartment.
It was at this point that his girlfriend intervened, enabling David to escape from Worrell's grasp where he then fled to his kitchen. After being pursued by Worrell, David armed himself with a STEAK KNIFE and stabbed him in the chest ONE TIME.
David says he would attempt first aid but it wasn't working. He would make the decision to flea the scene and was later arrested.
Sadly, on January 15th, 2011, Michael Worrell passed away from complications from the wound and David's charges would be upgraded to include second degree murder.
David lost his case of self defense and was sentenced to 41 years 60 Days.

He has over 30 years of experience as a defense attorney and always brings incredible incites and thoughts to the cases we discuss.
Today we talk about the case of Gerald L Johnson. Charged with felony murder after being involved in a police chase which would end in disaster as an innocent women is killed when Gerald collided with her vehicle.
Gerald was accused of carrying a firearm at the time of the crash and this fact alone would see him charged with Felony Murder. Gerald says he didn't have a gun that day and that the prosecutor fabricated one in order to charge him with a more serious crime.
So what does Mr. Leonard think?

Today I catch up with the man they call, the voice of reason. Michael Leonard is a defense attorney with decades of trial experience and a wealth of knowledge in the US legal system and as always he gives us his professional opinion on our latest case, which today is the story of Dandre Lane.
On the 2nd December of 2011 Dandre Lane says that while driving to his former partners home with their two year old daughter he was carjacked.
A man with a gun not only took his car but also his daughter. After police are alerted to the crime they start the hunt for baby Bianca. Dandre's car would be found shortly after the alarm had been raised, still running with doors open but no Bianca.
Dandre and his former partner both say that police from the very beginning never believed Dandre's story and because of his criminal history they instantly turned their attention to him and believed he had killed his daughter.
Dandre would eventually ne charged with the murder of his daughter but with baby Bianca still missing what would the state bring as evidence? A cadaver dog all the way from the UK.

Gerald Johnson is not an innocent man, he's a man who had a tough life, a life that would ultimately lead him to join one of the most notorious criminal gangs in America, The Bloods.
Gerald has been called a 'Gun toting thug' and it would be the presence of a weapon during a motor vehicle accident that would see him hit with a felony murder charge. A charge that would get him a life sentence.
Gerald says there's one major issue with his case, he had no weapon. He claims the prosecution fabricated a weapon in order to be able to charge him with felony murder.
This is his story as told by him.

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 - 39min - 170 - The Jury: Murder Trial - Ed Kellie
The Jury system is one that is used all across the globe. A selection of every day men and women like you and I tasked with the job of coming to a decision of innocence or guilt. Lay people who most of the time have little or no knowledge of the law.
As a group they are thrown together, each with their own biases, feelings and personalities, they must work together to find a verdict.
We all see them sitting at their seats in the courtroom, watch as they take notes and listen to the evidence but what we don't see is what goes one behind closed doors, what discussions are being had, how certain personalities control the room, until now!
The Jury Murder Trial is a fantastic show from the UK that has come up with a unique social experiment to not only try and uncover and understand the dynamics inside a jury room but also to see if two separate jury's hearing the same evidence will come to the same conclusion.
One of the shows creators Ed Kelly sat down with me to talk about how this all came about and what reaction they've had since the show has aired.
