S5E3: The Wrongful Convictions and Multiple Escapes of Leroy Harris: 30 Years in Prison and a Story You Have to Hear to Believe From the moment he was charged with rape and robbery in 1989, Leroy Harris has insisted on his innocence. In May 1983, a New Haven, CT nightclub owner was robbed at gunpoint by three young men late one night. The men stole his car, and later that evening robbed and sexually assaulted two women. Leroy became one of the numerous suspects because he was misidentified. He was tried in April 1989, six years after the crimes were committed. Despite the fact that not a single eyewitness identified Leroy as being involved in the crimes prior to the trial, all four witnesses—the two assault victims, nightclub owner, and nightclub owner’s girlfriend—positively identified Leroy for the first time in court. He was convicted of three counts of robbery and one count of sexual assault in the first degree and sentenced to 80 years in prison. Even after his conviction, he fought the verdict through five appeals. Leroy finally got the Innocence Project of New York working on his case in 2012. The Innocence Project had the Connecticut forensic lab test new DNA evidence which excluded Leroy from the male DNA on the inside of one victim’s blouse. The sexual assault charge against Leroy was dismissed, but in order to be released, Leroy Harris agreed to enter “Alford” pleas to the remaining charges in exchange for his freedom. He spent almost 30 years in prison in Connecticut. wrongfulconvictionpodcast.com Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom is a production of Lava For Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co.

 A very musical episode.  Dan got married, p.s.! We got some stories from some unsuspecting wedding attendees the night of the wedding. Morgan Freeman reprises his role as narrator for the kid-tested, mother-approved, segment called FanDjango. We spoke to Leroy Harris, country singer in Nashville, TN, recently signed to Winter Records. He tells us about Nashville, and imparts advice, and we played Always or Neva. The Barnes and Barnes music video to "Fish Heads" is way creepy but we karaoke it anyway. Also, a special announcement to our Spanish-speaking listeners! 

On this I Love Jazz with Don Wolff, we visit the Jazz studies program at UM- St. Louis, where we'll hear performances from their Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Combos. We'll also talk with bassist, bandleader and educator Jim Widner, Director of Jazz Studies at UMSL to learn more about jazz education in the St. Louis area and nationwide. The Phil Dunlap Quintet records their first CD and we travel to the recording session for an inside look into the process. And for our Jazz Gem, we have a performance from the late, great alto saxophonist and clarinetist, LeRoy Harris.

Sue Lawley's castaway is dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. Linton Kwesi Johnson was born in 1950s rural Jamaica. He lived in a farming community and looked after the animals, helping with the sugar harvest and fetching firewood. He lived with his grandmother after his parents separated, loving being the man of the house. She would entertain the young Linton, who she called "me husband", with folk songs, stories and ghost stories. In 1963, when he was eleven years old, Linton came to live in England. It was a huge contrast: "I had this childhood idea that literally the streets of London would be paved with gold and everybody living affluent lifestyles. So it was a bit of an eye-opener for me when I came and saw all these grey buildings with chimneys and smoke coming out of them and to see a white person sweeping the street!" He experienced racism at school, from peers and teachers alike, and became interested in the black movement. He joined the British Black Panthers in his teens, discovered black literature and began to write poetry of his own. He gained a sociology degree in the mid-1970s and had poems, inspired by politics and the Black movement, published in the journal Race Today. He soon became known for his poetry written in dialect and would often use reggae music to accompany it. He still tours with his band and can command stadium-size stages. Linton Kwesi Johnson became one of only two living poets to be published in a Penguin Modern Classic in 2002. He says "I've made a small contribution to bring poetry back to the people." During the interview, Linton Kwesi reads extracts from the following poems: 'Sonny's Lettah' taken from Inglan is a Bitch, 'Five Nights of Bleeding (for Leroy Harris)' from Things an Times and 'New Craas Massahkah (to the memory of the fourteen dead)'.
