After nearly two decades behind bars, Marty finally got another shot at freedom. In this season finale, Erin Moriarty and retired 48 Hours producer Gail Zimmerman discuss the conclusion of Marty Tankleff's wrongful conviction case and why it's one of the most memorable stories they've ever reported.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In part two we discuss cases where Police lie to their suspects and how a 14 year old boy was convinced by detectives that he killed his little sister.The fact that innocent suspects falsely confess to crimes they did not commit (or in some cases did not even happen) is incredibly counterintuitive and a decision that most people find unbelievable. Yet research makes clear and hundreds of exonerations clearly prove that innocent people admit to murders, sexual assaults, and other crimes that they did not commit. Around 12% of all exonerations and almost 30% of DNA exonerations involve an innocent person falsely confessing. How do such unbelievable occurrences happen?

Marty Tankleff was only 17 when his parents were murdered in their Belle Terre home in Long Island, New York. When he needed help from adults the most, he was subjected to a frightening interrogation as a person-of-interest. Traumatized, confused, and in a state of exhaustion he was pressured into making a false confession. It would take 18 years, but eventually Marty would win his freedom and show his parents were likely killed by organized crime to hide a money laundering operation uncovered by his father. This is his incredible story told in his voice.

Marty Tankleff was wrongfully convicted of murdering his parents in 1990. Innocent and very young, he would learn the legal system well enough to win his freedom. In the process, Marty would uncover the criminals and deep corruption that killed his family and kept him behind bars for 18 years. His underdog case beckoned help from top firms and caught the eye of Tony Soprano.

Exoneree, lawyer, author, professor and invited lecturer - Marty Tankleff does it all. After his release in 2007, Marty hit the ground running advocating for prisoner rights and spreading awareness about the wrongful convicted. Join Kristine for this fascinating interview with one of the most dynamic advocates for reform in the criminal system. About Marty… Marty was wrongfully convicted in 1990, for the murder of his parents. At the time of his arrest, he was a 17-year-old high school student. In the blink of an eye, his whole life changed. After being sentenced to two consecutive terms of 25 years to life, Marty presented new evidence, and after nearly 18 years in prison, in 2007 his conviction was finally overturned. After his exoneration, Marty obtained his law degree and serves as Special Counsel at Barket Epstein Kearon Aldea & LoTurco, where his focus is on wrongful convictions, prisoner and civil rights. He is also the current Peter P. Mullen Distinguished Visiting Professor at Georgetown University where he teaches a class with his childhood friend, Professor Marc M. Howard, called Making and Exoneree - where students reinvestigate potential wrongful conviction cases. In the past five years, Marty, Marc and their students have walked three innocent men out of prison.

Valentino Dixon's world was turned upside down when he was wrongly accused and then convicted of a double homicide after another man confessed to the crime. He was exonerated after spending 27 years behind bars. Marty Tankleff was wrongly convicted of murdering his wealthy parents and freed on appeal after serving 17 years of a 50-year-to-life sentence. Today he is an attorney working as Special Counsel at Barket, Epstein, Kearon, Aldea & LoTurco. “We've seen so many innocent people go to prison. And later on, when the facts come out, we discover that the law enforcement had evidence that pointed to someone else, not the person that was convicted,” says Tankleff.

On the first day of his senior year of high school, Marty Tankleff woke up to discover the bodies of his murdered parents. He was immediately declared the suspect, coerced into a false, unsigned confession, and spent 6,338 days behind bars before being exonerated in 2007. Marty details his deeply compelling story on this episode of Bar Fights and explains how he has turned his painful experience into a busy and heroic life of advocacy.

Jill McCarlie and Emma Morris discuss the Marty Tankleff case, in which a son was convicted of murdering his family members and was later exonerated.

La police pensait que Marty Tankleff, 17 ans, semblait trop calme après avoir trouvé sa mère poignardée à mort et son père mortellement matraqué dans la vaste maison familiale de Long Island. Les autorités n'ont pas crû ses déclarations d'innocence et il a passé 17 ans en prison pour ces meurtres.Will God answer your prayer if you don't end with, "In Jesus' name, Amen?" Learn what praying in the name of Jesus really means. I taught this week on the call of Abraham and the development of God's missionary call through the nation of Israel as they were responsible to communicate the truth of God to the cultures around them. They were given that great commission. The great commission didn't start in Matthew 28. It started with Abraham in Genesis 12 —the first three verses there —Abraham, chosen by God to raise up a nation who would then be God's priests to the world so that they would be a blessing to all of the nations. They had a unique role in the great monotheistic religion. The Jews were supposed to reflect morality to the world. Israel was to witness to the name of God. When they talked about the name of God and witnessing to God's name, that does not mean that they were to let everybody know what they called God, "Yahweh." Their goal wasn't to cover the countryside with evangelists who just let everybody know what the right word for God was. It meant something different. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon --------------------------------------------------- #face #instagram #amour #take #couple #garden #tiktok #psychology #beyou #near #love #foryou #money #ForYouPizza #fyp #irobot #theend #pups #TikToker #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktokers #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #nbayoungboy #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru #bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing

On this weeks episode we return with Marty Tankleff on Part 2 of 2 of his incredible story.  Tankleff, falsely accused of the murder of his own parents at the age of 18 years old, was framed, wrongfully convicted, and sentence to 50 years to life in prison.  We left off on Episode 51, last week's episode, where Marty finds himself locked up with a life sentence. It becomes clearer than ever, that the justice system was not on his side, and that he would have to dig deep and find the courage and strength to prove his innocence and fight for his own freedom. He buries himself in the prison law library and begins the fight of his life. As the years go by, Marty is continuously thrown to the curb and denied exoneration time and time again. Everything changed when Marty and his team decided they needed to conduct their very own investigation from start to finish into the case. Upon embarking on this new journey, a whole new load of shocking evidence was discovered, evidence that would surely break the case and free MARTY! But not so fast, it was the uncovering of this new evidence that truly shed light on how corrupt the DA, and Police officers were in Suffolk county, New York.  Listen to this weeks episode to find out how, after 17 years - Marty and his team were able to finally break the case and set him free.

In 1988, when he was just 17 years old, Marty Tankleff woke to find his mother dead and his father dying. Police immediately took him in for questioning. During the investigation, a detective lied, claiming that Marty’s father, before he’d died, had named Marty as the killer. After hours of interrogation Marty falsely confessed and was charged with the murders. Despite his protestations of innocence at the trial, the prosecution hinged on an unsigned confession the police submitted. Marty was found guilty and was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison. Inside, he taught himself the law so he could fight his case. In 2007, after 17 years in prison, an appeals court found key evidence in his trial was overlooked – and all charges against him were dismissed. Marty sued the State of New York and the Suffolk County police department for wrongful conviction and was awarded compensation of more than 13 million US dollars. Adapting to a new life in a new era wasn’t always easy, but he completed his legal training and was sworn in as a lawyer earlier this year. South African teenager Mzwandile Twala was hoping his musical talent would be a passport to a better life. And the signs were promising - with performances abroad, and a very real chance of studying music in Europe. But then came the pandemic and lockdown. Now he finds himself shut indoors, unable to play his violin for an audience. But, as he told Outlook's Mpho Lakaje, he's not one to mope.
