Podcasts about ohio innocence project

How do wrongful convictions happen? In what ways are lives harmed by them? Why is it so difficult to legislate a fix to the problem? The Ohio Innocence Project's director of policy and engagement, Pierce Reed, answers these questions on Community Focus.

Since it was formed in 2003, the Ohio Innocence Project has freed dozens of Ohioans who were jailed for crimes they didn't commit. A series from Ohio Newsroom member station WYSO explores their stories.

In this episode of Blind Rage, Carol gains insight into Samuel Herring's bid for exoneration from the man who heads Ohio's Innocence Project, attorney Mark Godsey.  Despite the initial intrigue, DNA evidence led to a perplexing ending: Herring's guilt was confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt. Godsey, a former prosecutor turned innocence advocate, explains how and why the organization took up Herring's case, reveals how DNA evidence was discovered, shares the history of the nationwide effort to overturn wrongful convictions, and addresses the emotional toll on victims' families.

Carol shares the results of DNA testing on newly recovered evidence in the case of Phyllis Cottle's brutal assault. The results are infuriating and…baffling. The Ohio Innocence Project prompted a forensic review of evidence, raising the possibility that Samuel J. Herring, the man convicted of the crime, may be innocent.  Herring, now 67 years old and wheelchair-bound, has spent nearly 40 years behind bars. He has maintained his innocence. Today we know the truth. And while it leads to a man who is definitely guilty, it also raises questions.   EPISODE CREDITS Host - Carol Costello Producer - Chris Aiola Audio Engineer - Sean Rule-Hoffman Production Director - Brigid Coyne Executive Producer - Gerardo Orlando Original Music - Timothy Law Snyder Cleveland Channel 5's story on Samuel Herring: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/investigations/new-testing-shows-dna-of-akron-rapist-found-on-victims-clothing The Marshall Project's story on Samuel Herring: https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/12/06/dna-ohio-innocence-project-conviction-integrity-unit-prison For additional information about Phyllis Cottle's case, please visit our newly-launched website (www.carolcostellopresents.com), Carol's Facebook page (Facebook.com/CarolLMU) and Instagram page (www.instagram.com/carolcostello).

Rickey Jackson was sentenced to 39 years in prison for crimes he didn't commit. Innocent, and unjustly convicted of murder and robbery, his is the longest wrongful imprisonment in US history. The John Adams Institute was honored to host Rickey, who shared the lessons he learned about freedom and forgiveness.The sole evidence against Rickey was the false, coerced eyewitness testimony of a 12-year-old boy. The boy later tried to back out of the lie, but the police told him it was too late to change his story. In 2011, attorneys with the Ohio Innocence Project filed a petition for a new trial, and three years later the charges against Rickey were dismissed.Support the show

We want to believe the criminal justice system convicts the right person and allows the innocent to go free. It's a nice thought, but it doesn't always work that way. Memories are malleable, eyewitness identification is often unreliable, witnesses and suspects can be manipulated, and sometimes the prosecution withholds important evidence. And judges and prosecutors are often blind to these problems.   Listen to our conversation with Mark Godsey, a former federal prosecutor and now a law professor and author of “Blind Injustice.” Mark co-founded the Ohio Innocence Project in 2003, which has won the release of 34 men and women, who had been incarcerated for 665 years for crimes they didn't commit.

It easier than you think to be accused, tried and convicted of a crime you did not commit or one that did not happen. It's harder, much harder, to have that conviction undone. In the state of Ohio 94 persons have been exonerated, but that is not the end of the story. Works used in this recording: 1.

In honor of Chris' freedom day, April 14, 2020, the day he was released from prison, I'm reposting one of the most impactful episodes I've ever recorded. My guest today was a musician on the cusp of breakout success, when in 2008, he was wrongfully convicted in Cincinnati, OH and subsequently served almost 13 years in prison for an armed robbery he didn't commit. Crucial DNA evidence withheld by the State from his defense at trial proved his innocence, and a federal court finally threw out his convictions in 2020. Additional misconduct by the State kept Christopher locked up in a county jail even after the federal court ordered his immediate release. Under threat of contempt charges from the federal court, the State finally released him, and he walked free with the help of the Ohio Innocence Project. Now he has a message and practical solutions. Just weeks after his release he has launched OH10Unlimited, his start-up company aimed at training youths and young adults to set goals, establish a rock solid work ethic, and connect with mentors. OH10Unlimited specifically focuses on music as therapy and as a means to address the need for criminal justice reform. OH10Unlimited promotes and trains young artists in every aspect of a complete and healthy human being: physical fitness conditioning; emotional well-being by connecting its members with a network of positive and productive people; and by providing high-quality, practical, essential tools young artists need to make a marketable product but often can't afford. Please welcome, Christopher Smith, aka Ol' Hound! www.gofundme.com/f/the-christopher-smith-story Intro music composed by Steven Wicks.

Candidate Conversation: John Cranley - Season 2, Episode 28As the countdown to Election Day continues, Ohio Education Association members are asking the candidates for Ohio governor where they stand on public education issues. OEA has invited all of the declared gubernatorial candidates - both Democrats and Republicans - to share their thoughts. The two Democrats in the race accepted OEA's invitation, and we're hearing from both in this two-part Candidate Conversation series. This is part two. MORE | Click here to subscribe to Education Matters on Apple Podcasts. Click here to subscribe on Google podcasts.Featured Education Matters guest: John Cranley Democratic candidate for Ohio governor Former Cincinnati mayor John Cranley has devoted his life to helping others and implementing real-world change. His father, a Vietnam veteran, and his mother, a school teacher, taught him the values of faith, service, integrity, and making the world a better place. Raised in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, John attended St. Williams Elementary School and St. Xavier High School. He then went on to earn his undergraduate degree from John Carroll University and graduate from Harvard Law School and Harvard Divinity School. Motivated by a deep sense of social justice, John co-founded the Ohio Innocence Project in 2002, which by using DNA technology has exonerated and freed 33 wrongfully convicted people.  John Cranley was elected Mayor of Cincinnati in 2013 and since then has led an unprecedented revitalization of his city; Cincinnati has shown positive population growth for the first time in 60 years. In 2021, the Milken Institute ranked Cincinnati as the best performing city in Ohio, a ranking that evaluates job and wage growth, housing affordability, and high-tech GDP. Throughout his career, Cranley has led historic police reform—Cincinnati is safer while arresting fewer people annually. Under his leadership, the city has also outpaced both the nation and the state of Ohio in poverty reduction. And Mayor Cranley is spearheading an effort to invest in solar energy to reduce the city's carbon footprint and make Cincinnati a leader in clean energy. Recognizing that climate change is real and that it is going to take an all-hands-on-deck approach to address it, John got to work on the municipal level. As mayor, John is overseeing the construction of the largest municipal solar farm in the country to help power Cincinnati. After it is online, city government services will be effectively carbon neutral. As governor, John will lead an Ohio comeback. After years of one-party rule in Columbus, Ohio needs a change.  He has a plan to create 30,000 jobs every year that pay at least $60,000 per year rebuilding roads and bridges, building up broadband access, and creating manufacturing and renewable energy jobs. He'll help pay for it by legalizing marijuana and using the revenue to rebuild our economy. John will return our energy resources back to the people through an energy dividend. By increasing the severance fee on energy profits, John will provide Ohio families $500 per year; money that can help stretch a family budget. They do it in Alaska and we can do it here. John's wife Dena is the daughter of immigrants. With Sister Barbara Lynch, First Lady of New Jerusalem Baptist Church, she co-founded the First Ladies for Health, an interdenominational effort to improve community health and is currently working to help improve vaccination rates. She also serves as the Program Director for Urban Health at the University of Cincinnati. John and Dena are raising their son Joseph with their values of family, faith, and looking out for the vulnerable among us.

My guest today was a musician on the cusp of breakout success, when in 2008, he was wrongfully convicted in Cincinnati, OH and subsequently served almost 13 years in prison for an armed robbery he didn't commit. Crucial DNA evidence withheld by the State from his defense at trial proved his innocence, and a federal court finally threw out his convictions in 2020. Additional misconduct by the State kept Christopher locked up in a county jail even after the federal court ordered his immediate release. Under threat of contempt charges from the federal court, the State finally released him, and he walked free with the help of the Ohio Innocence Project. Now he has a message and practical solutions. Just weeks after his release he has launched OH10Unlimited, his start-up company aimed at training youths and young adults to set goals, establish a rock solid work ethic, and connect with mentors. OH10Unlimited specifically focuses on music as therapy and as a means to address the need for criminal justice reform. OH10Unlimited promotes and trains young artists in every aspect of a complete and healthy human being: physical fitness conditioning; emotional well-being by connecting its members with a network of positive and productive people; and by providing high-quality, practical, essential tools young artists need to make a marketable product but often can't afford.

The leader of Cincinnati-based Ohio Innocence Project said in 2011 then-state Attorney General Mike DeWine rejected a request to do a statewide review of cases involving prisoners who claimed to be wrongfully convicted. But DeWine, now Ohio governor, didn't turn down the offer because he disagreed with the premise of helping people who are wrongfully convicted, his spokesman told The Enquirer. Local, state and federal government bureaucracies made such a review challenging, DeWine spokesman Dan Tierney said. Ohio Innocence Project co-founder Mark Godsey recalled his meeting with then-AG DeWine during an interview with The Enquirer's That's So Cincinnati podcast.  Godsey's organization works to help free prisoners who were wrongfully convicted by using DNA evidence. Godsey, a former federal prosecutor in New York, said one of his biggest challenges is persuading government officials to have an open mind about revisiting old cases. "It's not the money. It's ... not wanting to be proven wrong," Godsey said. "The person who was DeWine's assistant in that meeting – I can't remember the person's name – was very much of the mentality like I was when I was a prosecutor. I remember him saying, 'This is ridiculous. There's not going to be any innocent people (based on DNA database information).' It's more like they were in that fog of denial like I used to be in." DeWine and his team have always had a good working relationship with the Ohio Innocence Project and support the group's mission, Tierney said. "This was not a policy disagreement. This was a logistical issue," said Tierney, who was also with DeWine in the AG's office. "There was concern that state and federal laws would prohibit the lab from (reviewing old cases). It certainly makes a lot of sense for the local municipalities like Cincinnati to do this on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. We understand attractiveness of one-stop shop. But in a home-rule state like Ohio, there is not a lot of one-stop shops. The governor is a longtime prosecutor. He certainly believes cases should go where the evidence shows." Godsey's comments come as the city of Cincinnati police has agreed to review certain homicide cases for the past nine years as part of a $100,000 settlement in a murder case where the department didn't share DNA evidence that pointed to someone else.  The Ohio Innocence Project, based at University of Cincinnati, has used DNA evidence to help free 30 wrongfully convicted people since Godsey and John Cranley founded the organization 17 years ago. Godsey, a UC law professor, detailed some of the Ohio Innocence Project's cases in his book, "Blind Injustice," released last year.  (https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/theater/2019/07/18/ohio-innocence-project-cincinnati-opera-team-up-blind-injustice/1755624001/) The Ohio Innocence Project has gained more momentum with political and government leaders as social justice advocates have gained more attention in recent years.  "There's still a way to go, but definitely the environment and the culture is different than it was when we started in 2003," Godsey said. In the past "when I said, 'We're looking at cases of someone who could be innocent,' I got looked at like I had two heads. Now it's accepted and understood."  Godsey has remained close with Cranley, now in his second term as Cincinnati mayor.  "People think of John as the mayor and a politician, but I got to see him as a young attorney in court," Godsey said. "He won some of our cases and freed innocent people. He could've had a heck of a career as a trial lawyer."

Few could blame Roger “Dean” Gillispie if he were angry. He was in prison 20 years for raping and kidnapping three women in the Dayton area despite no physical evidence of his guilt. That means Dean spent his 20s, 30s and most of his 40s “sleeping with one eye open” and defending himself in some of the Ohio’s toughest prisons. Exonerated with the help of the Ohio Innocence Project, Dean now lives in his childhood bedroom. He never married and has no children. The dreams he was working towards as young man never materialized. Despite it all, Dean says he is not wallowing in the past. Instead, he is spreading awareness of wrongful convictions and the need for prison reform. He told “What Had Happened Was” host Amelia Robinson how the legal battle and his long stint in prison impacted his life and the lives of his family members. The Dayton area was hit 15 tornadoes on Memorial Day. Want to help the community recover?

Ray Towler served nearly 30 years in prison as an innocent man. He was convicted of rape and assault of two young children in 1981 and formally exonerated by a Cleveland judge exactly nine years ago today on May 5, 2010. DNA testing showed Towler wasn't the rapist.  On this podcast Towler shares his tale of survival and redemption with Dispatch reporter Mike Wagner. Towler credits Wagner, former Dispatch reporter Geoff Dutton and the Ohio Innocence Project for helping him regain his freedom.
