Podcast appearances and mentions of Marc Howard

A panel of experts explores the relationship between incarceration and race. The panelists are Jeffrey Abramowitz, CEO of the Petey Greene Program; Yusuf Dahl, CEO of The Century Promise; author Barbara Bradley Hagerty; and Marc Howard, a Georgetown University professor. UVA Law professor Kimberly Jenkins Robinson, director of the Center for the Study of Race and Law, introduced the event, and Professor Gerard Robinson moderated the panel. The event was sponsored by the Center for the Study of Race and Law. (University of Virginia School of Law, Sept. 18, 2024)

Meet Marc. He is one of the country's leading voices and advocates for restoring humanity to the American criminal punishment system. He's the Founder and President of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice, a nonprofit that launched in 2020 and allows members of free society to connect with people in prisons to discover firsthand our common humanity and advocate for systemic change. As a professor at Georgetown University, his “Prisons and Punishment” course has become one of the most sought-after courses — co-taught with his childhood friend, Marty Tankleff, who was wrongfully imprisoned for almost 18 years. Students re-investigate likely wrongful conviction cases and create documentaries that suggest innocence and advocate for exonerations. Join us for this conversation that we hope will open your hearts to recognize the humanity in all of us.

Marc Howard runs his Theoretical Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Boston University, where he develops mathematical models of cognition, constrained by psychological and neural data. In this episode, we discuss the idea that a Laplace transform and its inverse may serve as a unified framework for memory. In short, our memories are compressed on a continuous log-scale: as memories get older, their representations "spread out" in time. It turns out this kind of representation seems ubiquitous in the brain and across cognitive functions, suggesting it is likely a canonical computation our brains use to represent a wide variety of cognitive functions. We also discuss some of the ways Marc is incorporating this mathematical operation in deep learning nets to improve their ability to handle information at different time scales.

Sanford Ungar, director of the Free Speech Project at Georgetown University, discusses the Free Speech rights of the 2.3 million incarcerated Americans, with Marc Howard, professor of government and law at Georgetown, and prisoner rights advocate Vince Greco. This interview was recorded on February 22, 2018.

S5E9: After 38 Years Still Behind Bars for a Triple Murder that the Real Killer Confessed to on the Day of the Crime: The Unreal Saga of John Moss In December 1979, a triple murder shook the small town of St. Albans, WV. John Moss III was convicted in 1983 and sentenced to life in prison, and he has since served 38 years for this crime that he did not commit. Jason Flom teams up with Georgetown University Professor of Government and Law, Marc Howard, and his student, Jessica Scoratow, to interview John Moss from behind bars in West Virginia and unravel the saga behind this tragic miscarriage of justice. On December 13th, 1979, in St. Albans, WV, twenty-six-year-old Vanessa Reggettz and her two young children, Paul Eric and Bernadette, were strangled to death by electrical cords. The murders were gruesome–Vanessa was brutally beaten and stabbed with scissors, Paul Eric was left in a bathtub, and Bernadette was hung from a door. Paul Reggettz, the husband of Vanessa and the father of Bernadette and Paul Eric, was immediately taken into custody and after being interrogated for hours, he confessed in graphic detail and reenacted the crime for investigators. Reggettz was indicted on three counts of first-degree murder and held in pre-trial detention for eleven months. Charges were dropped, however, when John Moss, a 17-year-old former neighbor, was arrested for the murders instead. In October 1980, West Virginia State Police investigators traveled to interview John Moss in Ohio, where he was being held in juvenile detention for an unrelated crime. John denied any involvement in the murders, and the troopers took a blood sample from him without his parents’ consent or a court order. They returned to pick him up five months later to take him into custody. The policemen in the car claimed that John confessed to the murders. He then gave a tape-recorded confession. The police stated that John confessed again a third time, but there is no recording or written record of the confession. John maintains that he was coerced, beaten, and threatened during interrogations. Armed with these confessions, however, Kanawha County, West Virginia authorities charged John Moss with three counts of first-degree murder and brought him to Charleston to stand trial for the Reggettz slayings in 1985. Importantly, there was blood at the scene of the crime that did not match any of the family members, and the blood was found to match Moss’s blood type. The blood sample was tested by Fred Zain, the infamous lab technician later convicted of falsifying blood evidence in over 134 cases spanning decades, and later destroyed after the conviction. On April 30, 1983, John Moss was convicted of the murders after fourteen hours of jury deliberation and sentenced to three life sentences without the possibility of parole in 1985. He was convicted again in 1990 after his first trial was thrown out for judicial errors in jury polling and prosecutorial misconduct. John Moss has been incarcerated in West Virginia for 38 years, filing numerous appeals alleging ineffective assistance of counsel and challenging Fred Zain's testimony, the validity of his confessions, and arguments about the purportedly stolen items. His appeals have thus far been unsuccessful, and without new evidence, his options for further appeals are limited.

S3E9: Unusually Cruel: The Wrongful Conviction of Brian Ferguson and His Fight to Make a Difference Brian Ferguson was a 20-year-old college student in West Virginia when he was accused in 2002 of fatally shooting a fellow classmate. Brian was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life without parole, and he remained in prison until a committed team of pro bono lawyers won his release and exoneration for the crime in 2013. After his release, Brian returned to Washington, D.C. and soon discovered a gap in services for people reentering society after incarceration. In response to these challenges, he developed Start Line, which he describes as a kind of Yelp for returning citizens. Brian Ferguson enrolled at Georgetown University after meeting government professor Marc Howard, who launched the university’s Prisons and Justice Initiative, which addresses pressing policy and moral issues surrounding prison reform and mass incarceration through programs and events. Professor Howard joins Brian in this episode. wrongfulconvictionpodcast.com Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom is a production of Lava For Good Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1 and PRX.
