Podcasts about clemency

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 07/25/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the global distribution of resource extraction, judicial shielding of white killers, and institutionalized state violence: The Geopolitics of Resource Extraction: We dissect the strategic maneuvers surrounding the massive $25 billion Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project designed to power West Africa. We look at BBC World Service reports tracking the economic and infrastructural warfare dictating energy grids across the African continent, contrasting this with international developments where Spain shattered Argentina's World Cup dreams. We apply counter-racist logic to show how global white power interests control and redirect indigenous non-white wealth. Judicial Shielding & State-Sanctioned Execution: We investigate the rapid legal protections afforded to white youth killers as Colt Gray enters a guilty plea following state school violence. We contrast this systemic buffering with horrific reports of a 78-year-old Decatur female who overdosed on fentanyl following an alleged police blunder, alongside breaking cases where Baltimore police investigate an active "hate crime" in Fells Point. We expose how the courts work concurrently with enforcement wings to shield White Supremacist perpetrators while leaving black victims entirely unprotected. The Industry of Clemency & Corporate Surveillance Grids: We decode the growing industry of presidential pardons where massive bribes—including $600 for a presidential pardon—are weaponized within the federal clemency complex. We couple this with local news reports tracking a municipal deputy sheriff accused of systemic corruption in Bucks County, exposing how legal and administrative offices are engineered together to commodify justice while weaponizing municipal resources against non-white autonomy. The Erasure of Black Historical Reality: We break down the absolute peak of state hypocrisy out of Illinois where Governor JB Pritzker signs a law officially designating July 25 as Emmett Till Day. We analyze this symbolic political performance alongside breaking Madison, Wisconsin reports where a black male was shot and killed by police, sparking intense community protests and forcing Corey Ruiz's family to make public calls for basic justice. We deconstruct how The System uses hollow holidays and cosmetic benefits to distract the collective from ongoing state executions on the concrete. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #TheCOWS17Years #CounterRacism #MediaLiteracy #EmmettTillDay #ColtGray #DanielErving #NolanWells INVEST in The COWS!

Christa Pike carried a piece of Colleen Slemmer's skull back to the Job Corps dorm as a souvenir, and on September 30th, 2026, Tennessee is scheduled to execute her for the murder that produced it.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/christa-pikeMusic by Shadows Symphony.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: July 09, 2026Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar traces the 1995 Job Corps murder of Colleen Slemmer, the jealousy and Satanism behind it, and the three decades of appeals, prison violence, and stalled executions that have brought Christa Pike to a September 2026 death date in Tennessee.It opens on the morning of January 13th, 1995, when a groundskeeper at the University of Tennessee Agricultural Institute outside Knoxville found a body so badly beaten he mistook it for an animal carcass — nineteen-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a Florida girl who loved computers and had taken a bus to Knoxville on Halloween of 1994 for a six-month course at the Knoxville Job Corps Center. The night before, four students had signed out together, and only three signed back in. Eighteen-year-old Christa Gail Pike, her seventeen-year-old boyfriend Tadaryl Shipp, and eighteen-year-old Shadolla Peterson had lured Slemmer to a wooded stretch near an abandoned steam plant with the promise of marijuana in Tyson Park, and over roughly half an hour Pike and Shipp beat and cut her while Peterson held a flashlight. Pike carved a pentagram into Slemmer's chest while she was alive, cut her throat six times with a box cutter after pausing to check that no one was watching, threw asphalt at her head, and afterward pried loose a fragment of her skull to keep. Pike had come to believe Slemmer wanted Shipp, a jealousy Slemmer denied, and she and Shipp had bonded over Satanism and the occult; Pike wore a small devil tattoo on her chest, and searches later turned up satanic altars and occult literature in both their rooms.From there the episode follows what Pike did with the bone. She returned to campus around 11 p.m., went to her friend Kim Iloilo's room dancing and singing, and produced the skull fragment as a souvenir, warning Iloilo she would be killed too if she talked. Pike carried the piece in a napkin in her leather jacket, bragged at breakfast that she was eating with it, and showed it around class along with the blood still on her shoes and clothing — behavior that turned investigator Randy York toward her within forty-eight hours. Pike confessed in a forty-six-page recorded statement, and York described her as giddy, acting out how Slemmer had begged for her life. The episode also lays out the childhood documented in her later post-conviction filings: parents who struggled with alcohol, sexual and physical abuse by multiple people, a mother's suicide attempt she witnessed, and neurological evaluations finding structural brain abnormalities alongside later diagnoses of bipolar disorder and PTSD, none of which the jury ever heard.Next comes the trial and the long aftermath. In March 1996, before Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz in Knox County Criminal Court, Pike was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy, and on March 30th, weeks after her twentieth birthday, sentenced to death by electrocution, making her the youngest woman on death row in the modern era. Within hours she wrote Shipp an unrepentant letter framing the killing as a kindness because she had ended it quickly. Shipp, ineligible for death because he was seventeen, drew a life sentence and was denied parole in October 2025; Peterson received six years of probation. In 2001 Pike choked fellow inmate Patricia Jones with a shoestring until officers revived her, earning another twenty-five years, and around 2011 a New Jersey personal trainer named Donald Kohut and a correctional officer named Justin Heflin were caught in a plot to trace and duplicate a prison key to free her. Her appeals failed through the federal courts, an execution set for August 27th, 2020 was postponed by COVID-19, and on September 30th, 2025 the Tennessee Supreme Court reset her death for September 30th, 2026.The episode closes on what remains unresolved as that date approaches. Tennessee's 2026 execution schedule has already faltered — Governor Bill Lee granted Tony Carruthers a last-minute reprieve on May 21st after medical staff couldn't establish a backup IV line, media witnesses reported signs of pain in the 2025 executions of Byron Black and Harold Nichols, and Senate Republicans led by Tom Hatcher have asked Lee to pause executions pending review. Pike has filed suit over the pentobarbital protocol, arguing it excludes her Buddhist spiritual advisor and risks a torturous death, while advocates gather signatures asking Lee to commute her sentence over her age, abuse, and mental illness. If carried out, she would be the first woman executed in Tennessee in more than two hundred years. The last piece belongs to Slemmer's mother, Mae Martinez, who for more than twenty years has asked the state to return the skull fragment still held in evidence so she can bury her daughter whole — a nineteen-year-old who liked bowling and shrimping on the river back home in Florida and had gone to Tennessee to build a life around computers.

Members of Congress are sharply divided over the idea of a potential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, with the debate emerging in the context of ongoing investigations into Jeffrey Epstein's network. Some Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have indicated they would consider supporting a pardon if it meant securing Maxwell's full cooperation and testimony, viewing it as a possible way to extract information about Epstein's associates. However, that position is far from unified—even within the GOP—with key figures, including the committee chair, expressing opposition. Maxwell herself previously refused to answer questions before the committee, invoking the Fifth Amendment, while her legal team has signaled she would be willing to speak more openly if granted clemency.Democrats, meanwhile, are unanimously opposed to any pardon scenario, framing the idea as unacceptable given Maxwell's conviction for her role in facilitating the abuse of minors. They argue that offering clemency in exchange for testimony would undermine accountability and justice for victims. The political split, combined with public backlash and the legal reality that only the president could grant such a pardon, makes any deal unlikely in the near term. Overall, the situation highlights both the high stakes surrounding the Epstein investigation and the deep partisan divide over how far lawmakers should go to obtain new information.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Oversight members split over whether to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, committee chair says - Live Updates - POLITICOBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

(7) Josiah Osgood describes the Civil War's onset as Caesar crossed the Rubicon, prompting Pompey and Cato to evacuate Italy for the East. Caesar utilized a strategy of clemency and maintained iron discipline, even executing mutineers in the Ninth Legion. After Pompey was defeated at Pharsalus and murdered in Egypt, Cato led the Republican remnant to Utica. Following Caesar's final victory in Africa, Cato refused to beg for mercy, choosing a graphic suicide to deny Caesar a political triumph. His death transformed him into a martyr, marring Caesar's victory and the future imperial regime.CLAUDIS BEGS FOR HIS LIFE

Colorado Governor Jared Polis' decision to grant clemency to Tina Peters predictably blows up in his face.

(May 20, 2026) A man who has been incarcerated for 25 years in New York makes the case for clemency. John J. Lennon became a nationally recognized journalist from inside prison, writing for the Atlantic, Esquire, and the New York Times. Also: The state's school districts had been set to begin a transition to electric buses next year. Now, lawmakers say a proposal to push back that mandate will be included in this year's state budget.

The ladies open with coffee splash photo challenge fails, including Jackie's noble attempt at a witch's cauldron and Ashe's lone half melted ice cube while Christy's iPhone 17 Pro Max once again outclasses everyone. They tease the Freedom 250 GART in Deadwood, complete with red, white, and blue welcome dinner plans and a renewed hope that Zach Payne and only Lance actually grow mullets. Christy takes the professor's chair for the idiom hands down, which turns out to come from horse racing and not, sadly, a dramatic courtroom gesture, just in time for Napoleon Solo to win the Preakness in a suspicious bit of comms. Ashe walks through her in person visit with Tina Peters two days after Governor Polis granted clemency, unpacking what is actually going on with the weaponization of government, why this case was never about elections despite the headlines, what Tina actually misses (her 97 year old mother, a real steak, a salad with actual tomatoes), why she will not see her dog Minka until she is certain she is not leaving her again, and why people who say she did nothing wrong are missing the same point as people who call her a threat to democracy. Christy closes with how to swallow gel caps without choking and how to unlock a child safety cap forever.

The election integrity issue, and the people's evidence is being buried under the Tina Peters case. Attorney malpractice enters the discussion. Parole for the innocent. Gov. Polis the coward, is involved. Trading freedom for precedent. By design, this case will never go to the Supreme Court of the US. The people want paper ballots, but sovereign block chain tokens are their goal. We the people also argued the amicus. Now, it's going back to the bad judge. Tina being on parole does not end the case. Foundations were created to do what you were doing. Going up into bigger orgs never helps. Look for the best efficacy. Us using resources focusing on something that isn't real is what they want. Misdirection is the biggest problem. The staff on Tina's team did most of the work. Now look, blatant plagiarism on the latest book. They are coming for us and they are everywhere. Pay attention to why friction is created and who uses it. This is how an operation runs parallel and also seeks to bring things to a crawl. Nothing is worse than hiding behind an innocent victim. Unless it's massive election fraud that is being hidden.

May 16, 2026, 8 AM ; Peters was sentenced to nine years after prosecutors proved she gave an unauthorized person access to Mesa County election equipment in the aftermath of the 2020 election, then helped spread false claims that the vote was stolen. Her case became a cause célèbre on the right, with President Trump repeatedly calling her a “political prisoner” and demanding that Colorado set her free. The move comes after months of pressure from Trump, who cast Peters as a martyr in this broader campaign to rewrite the history of the 2020 election. Colorado Sec. of State Jena Griswold joins The Weekend to discuss the governor's decision.

Former Department of Justice pardon attorney Liz Oyer describes being pulled out of a meeting, told to pack up her belongings, and walked out by security the same day. Her offense, she said, was refusing to recommend that the attorney general restore gun rights to a politically connected celebrity without the information she believed was necessary to make that judgment safely. “Once you compromise your integrity, you cannot get it back,” she said. That moment sets the tone for a candid conversation about what it means to serve inside the Department of Justice, and what happens when career lawyers believe the institution they devoted themselves to has changed. Moderated by Stanford Law professor Pam Karlan, this episode brings together Oyer, former Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Rosen, and former DOJ civil rights lawyer Stacey Young for a discussion of public service, prosecutorial independence, clemency, civil rights, professional ethics, and the difficult questions of when to stay, when to leave, and when to speak out. The panel, recorded at a live law school event and presented by the Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession and the Neukom Center for the Rule of Law, offers a close look at the professional obligations of government lawyers from people who spent years doing the work: Rosen supervising more than 1,000 prosecutions stemming from January 6; Oyer overseeing the federal pardon process and thousands of clemency petitions; and Young working in the Civil Rights Division while also founding the DOJ Gender Equality Network. Karlan, herself a former DOJ official, draws out the deeper questions behind their stories.

Reports surrounding the House Oversight Committee's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein have revealed a quiet but deeply controversial dynamic behind the scenes: some Republican members have been internally discussing the possibility of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell as a way to secure her cooperation. According to statements from committee leadership and lawmakers, the idea has been floated as a potential “deal” to get Maxwell to testify more fully about Epstein's network, especially after she invoked the Fifth Amendment during her deposition. The committee itself is reportedly split, with some members open to the concept while others strongly oppose it, highlighting a fractured approach to how far they're willing to go to extract information.What makes the situation more notable is that, despite these internal discussions, almost no one on the Republican side has publicly taken ownership of the idea. Key figures have either declined to name who supports a pardon or avoided making definitive public statements altogether, creating a gap between private consideration and public accountability. Even as the possibility of clemency has sparked outrage from Democrats and victims' advocates, the silence from many GOP members has allowed the idea to linger without clear endorsement or rejection, reinforcing the perception that the strategy is being explored cautiously behind closed doors rather than openly defended.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Republicans appear split on idea of clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

Anthony Leahey joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up in the foster care system after being put up for adoption as a baby, nearly finding a stable home before being taken back and moved to Florida, where his life began to spiral. As a teenager, Anthony got into trouble and spent time in both youth and adult prisons in Florida before returning to New Jersey at 21, where a murder charge led to a 30-year sentence in state prison. In this episode, he talks about what led him down that path, what life was really like serving decades behind bars, and how he completely changed his life while incarcerated. Anthony also shares how he was given a second chance through clemency from the governor, the powerful moment of receiving forgiveness from the victim's family, and the lessons he learned through it all. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #30Years #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #ExInmate #LockedUp #SurvivalStory #LockedInPodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Anthony Leahey: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/infamouslifersgroup YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-R_-vNzaXM _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Foster Care to Prison (Full Story) 02:59 Childhood Trauma, Foster Care & Early Loss 07:02 Group Homes & Struggling as a Kid 10:08 From Juvenile Trouble to Florida Prison 15:55 Life in Prison as a Teen 21:52 Prison Violence, Survival & Sports 30:03 Release & Struggles Returning to New Jersey 34:03 Bad Decisions, Peer Pressure & Felony Charges 43:41 Arrest, Court & Taking Accountability 48:50 Forgiveness, Growth & Restorative Justice 01:03:27 Clemency & Getting a Second Chance 01:10:42 Reentry & Emotional Impact After Prison 01:18:01 Prison Advocacy & The Lifers Group 01:44:03 Health Issues & Problems in the Prison System 01:58:18 Life After Prison & Job Struggles 02:06:08 Advice, Lessons & Final Thoughts To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

On New Year's Eve 2011, a landscaper named Ronald Hauser was found shot dead in the basement of his home in Livingston County, Michigan. A month later, police came knocking on the door of one of Ron's friends, a man named Anthony Duke. Tony was arrested, charged, and in 2015 convicted of murder. He has maintained his innocence ever since.Tony Duke is now serving life without the possibility of parole. Under Michigan law, that sentence means exactly what it says -- there is no parole date, no automatic review, no mechanism for release. The only path out runs through the Governor's office, and it is a path that very few people ever reach the end of.In this episode we catch up with Tony, who recently appeared before the Michigan Parole Board for what is known as a commutation initial -- a formal hearing that is, for people in Tony's situation, one of the rarest and most significant steps in a process that offers very little. We talk through what that meeting means, what came back from the Board, and what the road ahead looks like from inside a Michigan prison cell.We also examine the broader landscape of clemency in Michigan -- who gets it, who doesn't, and why the final stretch of a governor's time in office has historically been the window that matters most for people who have run out of any other options.Tony Duke's case has never stopped raising questions.How to contact Governor Whitmer about Tony Duke's caseThere are three ways to reach the Governor's office directly.Online contact form (easiest option) The Governor's office has a contact form at michigan.gov/whitmer/contact -- you can use this to write directly to the office and share their thoughts on Tony's case.By phone Constituent Services: (517) 335-7858 Main office: (517) 373-3400By post Governor Gretchen Whitmer P.O. Box 30013 Lansing, Michigan 48909Tips for anyone writing in:A letter or message to the Governor's office in support of a clemency case is most effective when it is brief, respectful, and specific. You don't need legal expertise, you just need to be genuine. A few things worth including:Tony's full name: Anthony DukeThat he is currently incarcerated in Michigan serving a life without parole sentenceThat he has appeared before the Michigan Parole Board for a commutation initialWhy you believe his case deserves the Governor's attention -- whether that is concern about the original conviction, evidence of Tony's character, or simply a belief that the case warrants a closer lookKeep it to one page if writing by post. If using the online form, a few clear, considered paragraphs is plenty. The Governor's office does read correspondence on clemency cases -- volume of letters on a specific case does register.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

As we continue our look at a century of women-directed movies, the 2010s serve up the mumblecore classic "Your Sister's Sister" and the ultra-serious "Clemency". We look at Lynn Shelton's very funny outing starring Emily Blunt, Rosemarie Dewitt, and Mark Duplass. Chinonye Chukwu's death row drama, starring Alfre Woodard as the powerful lead, gets a lot of scrutiny this week. We also hear from Ryan Verrill about his new physical media and film distribution venture, Antenna Releasing!Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler, with guest Ryan Verrill0:00 Antenna Releasing9:03 Your Sister's Sister17:34 Clemency#physicalmedia #bluray #4kmovies

1 And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti : 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos. 3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,Adducunt autem scribae et pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam : et statuerunt eam in medio, 4 And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.et dixerunt ei : Magister, haec mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis? 6 And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra. 7 When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis : Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat. 8 And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra. 9 But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus : et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans. 10 Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei : Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit? 11 Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.Quae dixit : Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus : Nec ego te condemnabo : vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.The guilty woman. Clemency of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

What happens when your worst fear becomes your reality—and it lasts 21 years?In this unforgettable episode of Nightmare Success In and Out, host Brent Cassity interviews Sibil “Fox” Richardson and Robert “Rob” Richardson, the New Orleans couple featured in the award-winning documentary ** TIME **. Fox and Rob share the true story of surviving as an incarcerated family—raising six sons, enduring separation, and navigating the Louisiana justice system after Rob received a 61-year sentence and was sent to Angola Prison.They break down what the documentary couldn't fully show: the pressure on marriage, the emotional cost on children, the grit required to keep hope alive, and the legal fight that ultimately led to freedom. Today, Fox and Rob continue their mission through Participatory Defense Movement NOLA (an initiative of Rich Family Ministries)—training families to become powerful advocates and helping save years of incarceration by organizing community-based defense.If you've ever wondered how families survive prison, how clemency happens, or what real redemption looks like—this episode is for you.

Marina Stabile is a Brazilian-born, Swiss-raised producer and line producer with over 20 years of experience in film, documentaries, commercials, and digital content. She is also one of my favorite humans and I'm lucky I get to call her a friend. She grew up in São Paulo, moved to Geneva at 10, attended an international school with 118 nationalities, and knew she wanted to produce after watching the Irving Thalberg Award presented at 3 a.m. on an Oscar broadcast. She studied film and international relations at USC, produced documentaries for the United Nations in Geneva, and returned to the U.S. to earn her MFA in producing at AFI, where her thesis film The Response won a Student BAFTA. Marina's credits span indie and studio, including Miguel Arteta's Beatriz at Dinner starring Salma Hayek, the Sundance Grand Jury Prize–winning Clemency starring Alfre Woodard, Harrison Ford's The Call of the Wild (as VFX supervisor), Searchlight's Hold Your Breath starring Sarah Paulson, The People We Hate at the Wedding, and the pandemic-shot Untitled Horror Movie alongside fellow producer Bronwyn Cornelius. Most recently, she produced Josephine — written and directed by Beth de Araújo and starring Channing Tatum and Gemma Chan — which won both the U.S. Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival before being acquired by Sumerian Pictures in a competitive seven-figure deal. The film went on to screen in competition at the Berlin International Film Festival. In this conversation, we explore how culture impacts your craft, define once and for all what line producers really do, why the best career moves sometimes look like steps backward, and whether Los Angeles is still a special place to make movies.

Clemency

Clemency

As some Coloradans halt work to protest today, Congress is at work-- to avert a shutdown. The future of ICE is central to both. Then, "I'll consider her case--as I would any other." The governor has said that repeatedly -- when asked about clemency for Tina Peters. We looked into his past pardons for clues. Also, 40 years ago, Americans watched as Challenger broke apart; we speak with a CU Boulder professor who worked for NASA. Plus, we meet Colorado's new poet laureate; Crisosto Apache of Lakewood is the first Indigenous person to hold the title. And, Colorado Wonders about a cluster of curvy courts on Denver's North Side.
