    From the voice of the defendant: As you can see, my name is Marquis Rayner and presently I'm an inmate at SCI-Forest. I am 28 years of age, and I am from small suburban city, Coatesville Pa. Before this incident, I enjoyed spending time with my family, and friends. I never would have imagined that, I would be writing a letter like this, let alone writing from a prison facility. On March 12, 2013, my life took a complete turn for the worse. I went from waking up each morning preparing for a day caring for hospital patients at the Coatesville Brandywine Hospital to waking up in a jail cell. I was accused of and arrested for a very unfortunate crime that took place in Coatesville on June 29, 2012. I was not, and I repeat, I was not involved with the crime in any capacity, and on that day in June a robbery/murder was committed.

    During my previous podcasts, I have spent a lot of time, talking about corrupt police investigations and or lackadaisical police work. Recently, I have been working on cases, where my client's attorneys were later convicted of a crime and in some cases were under investigation or on disciplinary review during their trials. A dishonest attorney is only setting the client up to have to file a post-conviction relief act, claiming ineffectiveness of counsel. On this episode we discuss several different things attorneys have been accused of and some recent headlines including arrests and convictions of attorneys.

    Larry Forletta's investigative work on one of Pittsburgh's most haunting unsolved murder mysteries takes the spotlight on; Is There Really Truth & Justice for All? Smiley Face Killers: The Hunt For Justice. The docuseries aired on January 19th on the Oxygen Channel and featured the case of Duquesne University student Dakota James. James was last seen in Downtown Pittsburgh after partying with friends on the night of January 25, 2017. Security footage showed him walking through Katz Plaza and Scott Place before heading toward Fort Duquesne Boulevard and disappearing without a trace. On March 6, his lifeless body was found in the Ohio River. Medical examiners ruled James may have accidentally drowned, and local authorities believed he may have been drunk and killed himself, perhaps accidentally, by jumping off the bridge. After investigation however, an overwhelming amount of evidence indicated otherwise.

    Attorney Toni Messina has handled some of the most challenging cases New York City has seen including charges of terrorism, murder, gang assault, rape and robbery. One commonality she sees in all her cases is that -- although many of her clients are guilty -- they're often NOT guilty of what they've been charged with. In her experience, prosecution offices routinely overcharge the people they arrest and leave it up to defense attorney and investigators to undo the damage.
