We've just wrapped up the story of Susan Brown—a woman serving life without the possibility of parole for the murder of her former partner, a crime she has always claimed was an act of self-defence.So, what does The Voice of Reason think? Would he have handled the case differently? Does he believe there were issues with how it was investigated and prosecuted?Let's find out, as Michael Leonard from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois weighs in on the case and Susan's claims of self-defence.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"The story of how I got here is deeply painful. Years ago I was married to a man who was mercilessly verbally and mentally abusive to me and my children. I wanted to press through the anguish to keep our family together, but then his behavior escalated. I had no choice but to leave to protect our child.A year later, I had moved on and was 30 weeks pregnant with another man's child. My estranged husband was enraged and, in a volatile verbal exchange, stabbed me in my stomach. He then raped me. I fought back to defend myself. In a blur, I ended up in the hospital, with my child devastatingly born prematurely. I then learned that, while it was never my intention, my ex-husband died."These are the words of Susan Brown a lady serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for what she says was self defense.This is her story, as told by here from prison in Michigan.If you or someone you know needs help in relation to domestic violence or abuse please follow the links below.https://www.domesticshelters.org/https://strongwomentalking.org.au/Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.

Esa tragedia se vio agravada cuando la policía desarrolló inmediatamente una teoría de que Saul había causado las heridas que provocaron su muerte y, mediante supuestas amenazas y otras tácticas, coaccionó lo que Saul dice es una confesión falsa.En los próximos episodios, Saul nos cuenta exactamente qué sucedió esa noche.Me gustaría agradecer a Jane Lewis y al equipo de Proclaim Justice por su ayuda en facilitar esta entrevista.Descubre más sobre Proclaim Justice y el caso de Saul aquí http://proclaimjustice.org/cases/saul-contreras/Para unirte al Jurado de OMR y obtener contenido adicional, haz clic aquí.

We have just wrapped up the insane story of Nosakhare Onumonu, a story that has to be heard to be belived! and as always after we wrap up these stories qwe must sit down with the man they call 'The Voice of reason' Michael Leonard to hear his thoughts from a legal perspective.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The story of Nosakhare Onumonu is nothing short of incredible.As a young man, Nosa's sister was brutally attacked by her partner—violence that ended when he set her home on fire and left her for dead. That man was arrested and sentenced to prison for his crimes, but the trauma left Nosa riddled with guilt. Why wasn't he there to protect her? In his mind, he had failed his sister, his niece, and their family.As time went by, Nosa helped his mother nurse his sister back to health while also caring for his niece. But those feelings of guilt only grew stronger. And when his sister was finally back on her feet, he made a decision—he was going to take something back from the man who had hurt his family. He wanted revenge.Of course, the man who had done this was behind bars and would be for many years to come. But Nosa wasn't willing to wait that long. He embarked on a suicide mission inside prison walls to get to him. And that was just the beginning. His story would take an even more shocking turn when he found himself wrongly convicted of a crime he didn't commit.Now, for the first time, hear this unbelievable story from the man himself—still incarcerated for a crime he has, in fact, been exonerated of.

We recently wrapped up the story of Arkeene Broaden a young man who says he is innocent of the crime he's been convicted of but what does an expert think?As always it's time to catch up with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason' Mr Michael Leonard of Leonard trial lawyers in Chicargo Ilanois.________________________________________________________At 18 years old, Wayne County charged Arkeene and his 16-year-old friend, Cody Clark, with felony murder, robbery, conspiracy, and felony firearm in connection with the June 2015 shooting death of their close friend, Martez Johnson, at a house on Heyden Street around 10:00 PM.Authorities alleged that Arkeene drove Cody and Martez to meet Andre Thomas with the intent to rob Martez. They claimed that once they arrived, Cody and Martez went inside while Arkeene stayed in the car. Inside the house, Cody allegedly shot Martez in the head when Martez tried to escape.Arkeene demanded a trial, but after the jury was selected, his attorney passed away. The next attorney pushed him to accept a plea deal. Initially, the offer was for 18 years, then reduced to 14 years. Despite Arkeene repeatedly insisting on going to trial because of his innocence, the attorney continued pressuring him. Eventually, the plea offer was reduced to 8 years, plus an additional 2 years for the gun charge. The attorney warned that if Arkeene did not take the deal, he would face life in prison.Young, afraid, and unfamiliar with the legal system, Arkeene ultimately accepted the plea deal to avoid the possibility of a life sentence. He now believes that if he had been aware of all the evidence, he would have rejected the plea and insisted on going to trial.Later, Arkeene's family hired Professional Investigator Steve Crane from ACS Professional Investigations to conduct a proper investigation into the case. This is what they found. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As we wrap up the case of John Ortiz-Kehoe, it's that time again—where we sit down with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason.' A man with decades of trial experience as a defence attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois—Mr. Michael Leonard.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In 1993, 18-year-old Rose Larner went missing. After six days without contact, her mother reported her disappearance to the police, initiating the largest and most extensive search and investigation in Lansing, Michigan's history.Over three years passed before police finally got a breakthrough. In April 1996, a man named Billy Brown, a childhood friend of Rose, contacted the authorities, saying he wanted to talk.Brown told police that he was with Rose the night she died but claimed he was not her killer. He alleged that he had witnessed Rose being murdered in a brutal fashion by another man, John Ortiz-kehoe.Eventually, John was arrested in Mexico and extradited to the United States, where he was tried and convicted for the murder. However, John maintains that the crime was actually committed by the very man who implicated him—Billy Brown.This is John's account of what happened that night and why he believes he became the scapegoat for this heinous crime.

Two powerful breathwork techniques to stay calm and present during high-pressure moments. The role of journaling, affirmations, and visualization in building confidence on and off the course.

Key Takeaways: Mindset Matters: Your mental approach has a direct impact on your game. Cultivate confidence and presence both on and off the course. Understand Hypnosis: It's a safe and effective way to access the subconscious mind and reframe limiting beliefs. Self-Image Shapes Performance: Align your beliefs, habits, and word choices with your goals to perform at your best.

Embrace Growth: With the right tools, you can raise your mental “floor” to match your ambitions. Key Quotes: "Hypnosis allows us to bypass the critical voice of our conscious mind and connect directly with the subconscious, where our beliefs, emotions, and habits reside." "Who do you need to become to achieve your goals on the course? Your habits, word choices, and beliefs shape your identity and your game." "Your subconscious wants to keep you safe, so when you step outside your comfort zone, like going low on the front nine, it may unconsciously pull you back to what feels familiar." "The rapid reset breath is a way to release tension and anchor yourself in the present moment, even after a blow-up hole." "As human beings, we're hardwired with fears of judgment, abandonment, and rejection. These fears show up in golf when you tighten up before a shot or worry about others watching you." "Your self-image drives your behavior and performance. To improve, you need to align your beliefs with the golfer you aspire to be." "The power to accomplish anything you desire is already between your ears. And most importantly, you deserve everything you dream of achieving." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

Key Takeaways: The mental game's primary goal is to reduce stress, as stress disrupts motor patterns and prevents you from swinging your best on the course. A growth mindset is critical for improving in golf; believing that improvement is possible fuels the effort needed to achieve your goals. Effective practice involves intention and structure—prioritizing deliberate, focused sessions over marathon practice that leads to burnout. Consistency in effort, even with small, incremental steps, is the foundation for long-term progress in golf and life. Managing your expectations with data-driven insights (e.g., realistic fairway hit percentages) helps avoid frustration and enhances performance. Pre- and post-shot routines, along with slowing down after mistakes, are essential tools for bouncing back from blow-up holes and staying composed. The golfer you are on the course is deeply connected to the human being you are off it—prioritizing physical, mental, and emotional well-being will elevate your performance. Key Quotes: "The whole goal of the mental game is stress is coming—it's going to happen. No matter how good you get, you're going to hit bad shots. The key is figuring out how to calm down and get back to your process as fast as you can." "You have to have a growth mindset—if you don't think you can improve, you won't. But if you believe someone else did it, then you can too." "Do different to get different. If you keep practicing the same way, going through the same motions, and expecting better results, you'll stay stuck. Challenge yourself to do what others aren't willing to do." "Your swing is already there. It's not going to change the day before a tournament. Sometimes the best preparation is resting, eating well, and showing up with a clear and focused mind." "Consistency beats everything. Even if it's a mediocre practice or an okay workout, you're still showing up. Over time, that builds belief and creates real progress." "Having the right expectations is everything. If you think you'll hit every fairway or make every putt, you're setting yourself up for frustration. Focus on playing your best with what you have that day." "You can't separate the golfer from the human being. How you care for yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally off the course directly impacts how you perform on the course." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.

"That shows the utter lack of concern and preparation for the case," says Michael Leonard, 'The Voice of Reason.' He's far from impressed with the defense attorney in the case of John Merritt, and he's not holding back in today's episode as we unpack the myriad issues surrounding this decades-old case.John Merritt has been behind bars for longer than I've been alive. Like many of the men and women we speak to, John's early life was marked by encounters with the law—mostly for petty, non-violent offences. He became trapped in a cycle, moving in and out of the system, until one day, while serving time for burglary, his life took an even darker turn.A visit from a sheriff's investigator would change the course of his life forever, propelling him down an unexpected and terrifying path toward the death penalty for a crime he says he didn't commit.In the end, John faced a grim choice: life in prison or the electric chair.

It's a rewarding place to be, and anyone who wants to get into the top 5% of players needs to have a sound strategy.   At the same time, there are commonly-accepted steps that one shouldn't take to become a scratch golfer. Listen in as Michael dives deep into every one of these misconceptions, from the pitfalls of obsessing over mechanics, to routine and short swing misfires, to the silly mind games we play that do more harm than good out on the course.   And don't miss the tail-end of our conversation, where Michael gives his thoughts on the difference between a scratch player and a true scratch player.   About Michael Leonard: Michael Leonard is a professional writer who has been featured in Lifehacker, Addicted2Success, Rockstar Finance, Early to Rise, Thrive Global and more.

As always it's time to get the thoughts of OMR's voice of reason, a man with decades of experience as a defense attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago Illinois, Mr. Michael Leonard, as we discuss the case against Marcellus William's.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Marcellus Williams was handed a death sentence in 2001 for the murder of Felicia Gale, its a crime he not only says he didn't commit but one that a number of independent experts say DNA evidence has proved he's innocent of...The threat of death is nothing new for the man who has spent over two decades in prison trying to fight his conviction, just a few weeks ago the Missouri Supreme court scheduled Marcellus to be executed on September 24th at 6pm.it's in fact the third time he's been given a date and only narrowly escaped death by a couple of hours the last time.I first came across his story when I saw a post that had been made by the innocence project who, a long with a number of other attorneys, has been fighting Marcellus's case for sometime.After seeing his story I wanted to reach out to see if he and I could speak.I wasn't keen on my chances as I have attempted to speak with others on death row before but with no joy. There sentence is usually carried out different to general population, they are confined to their cells in a form of solitary confinement with strict access to communication.None the less I tracked down Marcellus and sent him a message, he replied telling me that he in fact had 24/7 access to a phone within his cell.Seemingly a privileged offered to those who have been given their date.Sign the petition to save Marcellus Williams from being killed by the state... https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/stop-the-execution-of-marcellus-williams-an-innocent-man/ Hosted on Acast.

As always after each of the cases we look at it's time to catch up with the man they call 'The Voice of Reason' a man with decades of trial experience as a defense attorney in Chicago Illinois, Australia's favourite attorney at law, Michael Leonard, as we discuss the case of Christopher Dunn.In 1991, Dunn was convicted of murder in St. Louis, Missouri, based largely on the testimonies of two teenagers who later recanted their statements. There was no physical evidence linking Dunn to the crime, and he consistently maintained his innocence. Despite these facts, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Over the years, multiple witnesses and even the original teenage accusers admitted that their testimonies were fabricated under police pressure.Despite compelling evidence of his innocence and a judge even stating in 2020 that no jury would find him guilty today, legal hurdles have prevented his release, highlighting the systemic challenges faced by those wrongfully convicted.

Today it's time to talk the case of Brad Hays with Australia's favourite attorney of law, Michael Leonard.---------------------------------------------------------When you hear that someone has been handed a sentence of life plus 104 years you'd be forgiven for thinking that today I am sitting down with some sort of serial killer, or someone who has committed some incredibly heinous crimes but you'd be wrong.Brad Hays is currently serving his incredible sentence in the state of Missouri. Brad is no career criminal, in fact up until this sentence he had never been to prison. Brad Hays did not kill anyone, he wasn't even present when someone was killed, in fact no one died at all in Brad's case.So how and why has Brad been essentially handed a death sentence?This is the story of Bradley Hays as told by him from his prison cell.
