Anand Jon Alexander was a rising star in the fashion industry in 2007 when he was arrested and ultimately convicted of one count of rape and many counts of lesser sexual offenses. Although there were no injuries on anyone and he had no history of violence, he was sentenced to 59 years to life in prison. He has spent over 13 years in prison and barely survived a racial hate crime stabbing in 2019. He is suing the State of California for an undisclosed amount. Joining Everyday Injustice is attorney Tim Milner, who has been working on the Commutation case. Attorney Tim Milner explained that he has been a lawyer for 40 years and usually tends to shy away from scandalous sex cases, but this was an exceptional case. “This man is innocent,” he said. “He also had one of the worst trials that I’ve seen.” He noted that he has done at least 80 trials and “this guy did not get a fair shake." Also joining is Amy Povah, from the CAN-DO foundation. Amy Povah herself served nine years in prison before President Bill Clinton commuted her sentence—a 24-year sentence for conspiracy charges in a high profile MDMA (Ecstasy) case dating back to 1989. She now serves as an advocate for mostly federal clemency cases. She was involved in the three most recent commutations by President Trump. “What concerns me about Anand,” she said, is that “clemency is about mercy. So many people receive clemency who are not innocent… The sentence he received is so disproportionate to a normal case with the same allegations. He was convicted on very thin evidence.” One of the incarcerated people on Anand Jon's yard also joins the show to discuss conditions at Donavan under the specter of COVID-19.

In our first episode we speak with Amy Povah, founder of the nonprofit CANDO (Clemency for All Non-violent Drug Offenders). Amy was sentenced to 24 years in prison under the conspiracy law for refusing to cooperate with federal prosecutors when her former husband was charged with MDMA manufacturing and distribution. After a long campaign to free her, and after serving nine of those years, she was finally granted Clemency by Bill Clinton in 2003. Since then she has devoted her life to helping free other victims of the drug war. We remember the campaign to free Amy back in 1999, and we helped out by distributing her postcards. She is a personal hero of mine and a fitting interview subject for our first episode. Not only do we learn the full story of her arrest, incarceration, and release, but through her subsequent work fighting on behalf of other wrongfully imprisoned drug offenders, we get an inside look into the workings of the DOJ's Office of Pardon Attorneys, as well as presidential politics that is sure to enlighten—and enrage—many listeners. "I knew I was in the presence of evil," says Amy describing the federal agents who raided her home and interrogated her when she was first arrested, "and I was never going to cooperate with them." Even when facing life in prison and everyone around her telling her to cut a deal, including her parents as well as her own lawyer, Amy stuck to her principles, refusing to wear a wire or testify against others. "My soul is more important to me than physical comfort," she says. Last month Amy and CANDO were instrumental in getting President Trump to release grandmother and nonviolent drug offender, Alice Johnson. Although Kim Kardashian gets all the media attention, Alice Johnson had been on the top of CANDO's clemency list since 2014. We hear the full story of how and why Kim Kardashian got involved, and how partisan politics almost derailed her release. Amy Povah is a truly inspiring woman. This interview should motivate all people of conscience to get involved to end the tragedy and injustice of the drug war.

Last December 95 prisoners had their sentences shortened by President Obama. This was part of an ongoing effort to use clemency to free non-violent drug offenders who were given harsh sentences for their crimes. For 53 year old Ramona Brant this meant she would not spend the rest of her life in prison. Brant was a first time offender convicted in 1995 on charges of conspiracy to possess and distribute cocaine. This summer Life of the Law is presenting some of the best and the brightest new voices in investigative reporting and audio production. This week's episode is from Shandukani Mulaudzi of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Reporter Shandukani Mulaudzi met Brant on February 2, as she was released from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Mulaudzi later traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, where Brant -- as part of the clemency agreement -- is living in a halfway house until mid-April. PRODUCTION NOTES Clemency was reported by Shandukani Mulaudzi and edited by Ann Cooper with production support from Jonathan Hirsch, Nancy Mullane, and Kirsten Jusewicz-Haidle. Special thanks to Kerry Donahue, coordinator of the audio program at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Amy Povah of Can-Do Clemency for her support, and Romana Brant for sharing her story.
