One of the best podcasts I have listened to.

The individuals who could come forward with new information won’t. Either because they themselves committed the crime or they’re dead/aging or simply apathetic. There will be no new physical evidence. He got screwed by the system and then those in charge were given the chance to right their wrongs and they did not. They didn’t use their head and we’re more focused on the judicial process rather than catching the bad guy.

Big E I appreciate all the feedback throughout this series. That said, be practical, use your head. The information that was not disclosed could have been used to help bolster his alibi at the time of the trial. You’re right there is no evidence that will likely come up about his innocence because the individuals who cou

This story is one of the reasons why even though I live in New York State I won’t go down and see New York City I absolutely stay away from that city because of the corruption in the criminal system there was another case where a 16 year old was held in rikers island for three years without a trial was abused and everything never went in front of a judge and was spontaneously released so the prosecutors office can save face. JJ needs to be able to testify in front of the law makers in Albany

Clemency is the correct decision.

Again .. the narrator overhypes what he found. He uses the word ”bombshell”.. but that’s hardly the case. Police failed to further interview the father of the suspect.. but it wasn’t a great find. Really nothing you can do about now

Ironically Glisson and the other men who were freed, got out because of the Conviction Integrity Unit. They examined this case and made the correct decision. What they uncovered did not prove actual innocence. It’s that simple. There is no evidence that’s shows him being innocent

This podcast is the sham, and only joke, here. There is no evidence of innocence. While the conviction is questionable, there is no evidence of innocence and this podcast actually sheds more light on the probability of guilt. JJ looks like the drawing. He looks like a light skinned black man. Then he wouldn’t/couldn’t answer who he ran the streets with around the time of the murder. Then the ”alternate” suspect is someone nobody can find. Silly stuff. Questionable conviction .. but not much more

So any Mustafa that lived near Manhattan is a viable suspect? Ridiculous

The fact that this guy got angry at being questioned says a ton. Of course who he ran with around the time of the murder is relevant. Velazquez is claiming he didn’t run with the who admitted to the crime. ”Who did you run with?”, is the obvious next question. The fact he got mad and couldn’t remember says it all!

I agree with Scheck ... except for the fact that this guy fit the description. He looks like a light skinned black man. The narrator keeps failing to mention this, which tells me he is NOT about ”finding the truth”. Just say it as it is!

Common sense tells us, it wasn’t him on the phone with his mom either. How many young men talk w mom for 74 minutes?

100% agree with conviction integrity unit.

At this point, 1.5 episodes in, I really want to here from the other guy who committed the murder. Did he recant?

Just looked at this guy’s picture and he could easily be described as ”light skinned black”. He looks black. For the narrator of the podcast to leave this out creates a biased leaning. Trying to twist things here to ”create” a story.

If phone records is all he’s got .. it’s not enough

So far .. I’m not seeing an innocent person. Only one episode in, but nothing there yet.

Incredible story. So thankful JJ was released!! Very frustrating how the legal system worked against him, though -- some of those attorneys care only about their own ”wins” rather than ensuring justice is served. Soulless.

The system is terrible, it needs to be completely overhauled, it won’t be of course but maybe one day. Until all wrongly convicted are exonerated the system will not be fixed.

This is one of the best podcast ever! I tell everyone to listen to it and that they will have so many emotions listening to it. I am thankful the JJ and Dan where brought together! God knew what he was doing! I am so sorry JJ and his family went through so much so 24 years but, what does that say about their faith and love? UNBREAKABLE!!!
