Episode Notes S5E41 -- Join us as we dive into the mind of the longest-serving, first-time, non-violent offender in the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the time of his release George "Cowboy" Martorano.. He'll be telling us tales from his botched trial to his 32 years of a life sentence served and much much more. In 1984, on the advice of his attorney Robert Simone, Martorano pleaded guilty to 19 counts of drug possession and distribution. Martorano was subsequently advised by both the prosecution and the judge, John Berne Hannum, that this plea could result in a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. The prosecution, however, had only recommended a sentence of from 40 to 54 months. On September 20, 1984, Martorano was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the longest prison term ever imposed on a first-time non-violent offender in American history.

Louis Pichini, a prosecutor with the U.S. Organized Crime Task Force, pressured George Martorano for information on the Philadelphia Mafia. But Martorano has always denied having any detailed knowledge of his father's business dealings. Judge Hannum's excessive sentence was a part of this pressure. Prior to Martorano's sentencing, his trial counsel, Robert Simone, was indicted on tax evasion charges. Again, before sentence was imposed in the Martorano case, Judge Hannum testified as a character witness for Simone. An article appeared in the Philadelphia Daily News criticizing the judge and called his testimony "highly unusual". Martorano stated in subsequent appeals that Judge Hannum should have recused himself from his case prior to imposing sentence. Martorano holds the title of longest-serving, first-time, non-violent offender in federal custody.[1] He claims the sentencing judge gave the unprecedented term to pressure him to inform on his father and other mob bosses.[4] Martorano distinguished himself during his time in federal prison. In addition to being a "model" prisoner, Martorano: prevented the hijacking of an aircraft by prisoners while in transit from Philadelphia to Oklahoma following the loss of his 33rd appeal. This incident has been documented by the FBI and Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) and was called "extraordinary" by D.C.

Owen Skyler Shover, 23, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Friday, October 25, for the 2019 killing of his former classmate, 16-year-old Aranda Briones. Shover blamed Briones for getting him expelled from Moreno Valley High School, a grudge that led to her death. Briones' body has never been found, leaving lingering questions. “There are many questions left unanswered, none more than where is Aranda?” Riverside County Superior Court Judge Timothy J. Hollenhorst told Shover during sentencing. “You are the face of pure evil,” the judge said, adding that Shover appeared incapable of remorse. The events leading to the tragedy began on November 7, 2017, when Briones and Shover, along with friends, skipped class to hang out at a park. Shover, carrying a handgun, gave it to Briones to hide when a school resource officer approached. Panicked, she threw the weapon into a drainage canal, but the officer saw her dispose of it and detained her. Both students were expelled from school in February 2018 following the incident. Prosecutors revealed that Shover harbored resentment against Briones for the expulsion. Social media messages from November 2018 to January 2019 detailed Shover's attempts to obtain another handgun. On January 12, 2019, he invited Briones to join him on a so-called “adventure,” promising she could ride along on drug deliveries and robberies. The two met at Bayside Park the following day, with Briones posting photos of their reunion. However, by 6 p.m., Shover's intentions became clear when he messaged his brother, “Be ready for tonight. Get shovels and lighter fluid ready.” The pair drove into the San Bernardino Mountains, where the phone signals dropped between 8:30 p.m. and 10:15 p.m., leaving no trace of their location. Shover's phone reactivated later that night at his father's house. Briones was reported missing soon after. Investigators discovered her blood in the trunk of Shover's car and a Facebook message to his brother confirming plans for the crime. At sentencing, Briones' friend described her as “a kind spirit who was always joyful, even in bad moments.” Shover's brother, Gary, pleaded guilty in March to being an accessory after the fact and received 12 months' probation. Shover's attorney, Stephen Allen, expressed disappointment with the sentence, saying, “We are sad about the outcome and hopeful the appellate process will address any errors.” Shover will serve life in prison without parole, leaving the question of Briones' final resting place unanswered.

Faddis and Brueski express shock at the jury's decision to sentence Telles to life with the possibility of parole after 20 years, considering the overwhelming evidence against him. They delve into the peculiarities of jury deliberations, highlighting that two jurors were reportedly fixated on the fact that Telles wore a wig as part of a disguise, leading to a compromise verdict rather than a full life sentence. Faddis criticizes the implausibility of Telles' defense theory, which suggested a convoluted conspiracy involving a real estate company and a hitman. Both Faddis and Brueski underscore the unpredictability of jury decisions and question whether the jurors fully understood the absurdity of the defense's claims.

The project uses interviews, visual art, creative media interventions, and sound installations to support the statewide campaign to abolish Death By Incarceration. We use the term “LifeLines” to refer to the fact that this project highlights the stories and analysis of those serving life/death sentences and to point toward the many collective relationships and infrastructures of support (familial, community, activist, and beyond) that are forged in resistance to mass imprisonment."

In mid-January of this year, Massachusetts' highest court ruled that it's unconstitutional to use the sentencing of life without parole to punish people who committed their crimes when they are 18, 19, or 20 years old. Les Gosule, whose daughter was killed in 1999 by a felon out on parole despite 27 convictions, is strongly opposed to this new ruling.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that if you are under 21 and commit a crime, you cannot be sentenced to life without parole. The highest court raised the age from 18 to 21. The idea behind the ruling is that a person's brain is not fully developed by then, and they may act more impulsively than someone older. State Rep. Attorney Jeffrey Turco joined Dan to discuss.

This episode of A Moment In Crime is a follow-up from the very first episode I produced about the Christchurch terror attack.  As the Coronial inquest into the mass murder begins, it's important to remember what happened and who was responsible. It's important to remember who was killed, wounded and impacted. And it's important to understand the inquest.  In this episode of A Moment In Crime you will hear from the judge who sentenced the terrorist in 2020 and from those closest to the attack - survivors, witnesses and those who lost loved ones that day. Brenton Tarrant was the first person in New Zealand history to be jailed for life without parole and will spend the rest of his days in a prison cell - unable to hurt another person.  The episode refers to an act of terrorism, mass murder and the wounding of many people. It is graphic in parts and is intended for a mature audience.  Many people are against the name of the terrorist being published, but in this podcast episode he is named at times. His case was heard in an open court and is well known and I do not want to create any sense of drama around his abhorrent actions by painting him as a nameless villain.  At the outset of this episode of A Moment In Crime I would like to acknowledge the 51 people who died in the Christchruch terror attack and their families - and those injured on that terrible day.

In a crime that has sent shockwaves through the Brown County community, 25-year-old Taylor Schabusiness has been sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. The sentencing, passed down by Judge Thomas Walsh, comes after Schabusiness was found guilty of the brutal murder and dismemberment of her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Shad Thyrion.    The Crime's Grisly Details  Thyrion's dismembered remains were discovered in his mother's basement, sparking a horrifying investigation that quickly zeroed in on Schabusiness as the primary suspect. The most haunting discovery of the investigation was made by the victim's mother, Tara Pakanich, and her boyfriend, Steve Hendricks, who found Thyrion's severed head and other body parts in a bucket.    Subsequent searches of the premises led to the discovery of additional body parts, evidence of drug use, and other incriminating items.    Tense Moments in Court    During her appearance in the Brown County Circuit Court, Schabusiness, clad in an orange prison jumpsuit, remained an enigmatic figure. While she chose not to address the court, her reactions varied from apparent smirks to shaking her head as the details of her crimes were read out.    The courtroom was a cauldron of emotion. Kelly Thyrion, the victim's uncle, voiced his contempt for Schabusiness, using derogatory terms. On the other hand, Shad's father, Michael, expressed a more compassionate stance, asking for leniency and forgiveness.    The Sentence and Judge's Remarks    Judge Thomas Walsh's decision to sentence Schabusiness to life without parole underscored the severity of the crime. He stated, "This crime offends human decency, dignity, and the community." Despite the defense's attempts to cite Schabusiness's history of drug abuse and trauma as mitigating factors, the judge emphasized the need to prioritize public safety.    Drugs and Their Role in the Crime    Throughout the trial, there were constant reminders of the destructive role of drugs. Schabusiness confessed to both smoking methamphetamine and injecting herself and the victim with Trazodone, a strong sedative. This drug-fueled environment was presented as a backdrop to the tragic events that ensued.    Despite this, Dr. Diane Lytton, who assessed Schabusiness's mental state, suggested that she was experiencing psychosis, complete with hallucinations. However, the jury was not swayed by this testimony, given the physical evidence at hand.    The Aftermath    The Brown County community now faces the grim task of coming to terms with this tragic event. As the details of this case reverberate through the area, many residents are hoping for a renewed focus on the dangers of drug addiction and its potentially catastrophic outcomes.

Ever wondered how a simple twist of faith could alter the course of life within the prison walls? This episode of our podcast series will take you on an emotional journey through the Alabama prison system, focusing on my personal experiences as an inmate. We unravel the reality of entering prison, the dread of a potential Life Without Parole sentence, and the profound moment that ignited my salvation. The episode reveals the startling contrast between the different inmate populations within the Alabama prison system, each having their unique challenges and an apparent lack of resources. Yet, amidst such despair, we explore the miraculous power of faith, which becomes a beacon of hope in the gloomy ambiance. My French pen pals, Patrick and Joanne Quillec, illustrate this beautifully through their unwavering faith and the biblical story of Joseph. In a remarkable stroke of grace, my former public defender's expertise dramatically reduced my sentence. It was like a curse lifting, showing that hope and freedom could be found even within the concrete confines of prison. We also ponder over the idea of how God can re-route us when we miss a turn, just like a GPS. Teasing our next episode, we will be discussing the prison chapel dorm, the fascinating people I met there, and intriguing insights on Christianity and religion.

After serving 25 years behind bars for killing his summer camp roommate, Eric Kane, Wideman went before a parole board in Arizona for the first time.

Imagine the worst day of your life, when you did the one thing you are most ashamed of. Now imagine having to convince a panel of strangers — who suspect you might be lying — how sorry you are. After years of preparing for this moment, you get only minutes to make your case. And the stakes couldn't be higher: The rest of your life depends on whether or not the strangers believe you. This is how people seeking parole often describe the experience. Daniel Medwed, a law professor at Northeastern University, describes parole hearings as “a trap for the unwary,” where those who are mentally unprepared for the emotional complexities of the process can find themselves at a grave disadvantage. Every year in the United States, tens of thousands of people appear before parole boards asking to be released from prison. These boards play an outsized role in the criminal justice system — how much time someone actually spends in prison, or in some cases, whether they get out at all, is often decided not by a judge or jury, but by a parole board. And yet, few people understand how they work. Part 3 of Violation examines parole boards, largely secretive institutions that operate in many states with few rules and little oversight. These panels are supposed to be independent, but often do their work under pressure from the politicians who appoint them. In the best of circumstances, parole board members are assigned a virtually impossible task: to predict what human beings they barely know are going to do in the future. And they have people's lives and the public's safety in their hands. What happens at parole boards is a huge part of Jacob Wideman's story, and his story tells us a lot about the parole system in America. After serving 25 years behind bars for killing his summer camp roommate, Eric Kane, Wideman went before a parole board in Arizona for the first time. Starting with his first hearing in 2011, he was denied parole over and over. Except for one time.

We have a special gift for you today as we head into December - our first ever ETC Podcast Mini-Series! A surprising connection to ETC's own Tona Ottinger led us to booking Brad Ewell as a podcast guest. When we sat down to talk, his story was so unbelievable, we decided the only way to capture it all was in the form of a five-part series. A Texas Police Officer minding his own business, Brad got a Facebook message at age 48 that completely changed his life. As he pulled the threads of his own life story, even he couldn't have predicted the twists and turns that emerged. This Episode is the finale, Part 5: Life Without Parole? Wanna talk more about this series and all things parenting? Want to find a community of likeminded peers with no judgment or shame?
