One Minute Remaining – Stories from the inmates — True Crime
One Minute Remaining – Stories from the inmates

One Minute Remaining is a true crime and prison podcast featuring first-hand stories from inmates serving lengthy sentences inside prisons across the United States. From murder and attempted murder to robbery, arson and claims of wrongful conviction, these are criminal cases told from behind prison walls.

Hosted by Jack Laurence, One Minute Remaining gives prisoners the opportunity to tell their stories in their own words. We examine the crimes, the evidence and the cases that led to their incarceration, while hearing directly from the people serving the sentences.

Some maintain their innocence. Others admit exactly what they did. Some are serving life sentences or decades behind bars. The purpose isn’t to prove them innocent or guilty — it’s to hear their account, examine the case against them, and let you decide what you think.

From murder cases and disputed convictions to extraordinary stories from inside the American prison system, One Minute Remaining takes listeners beyond the headlines and into cases they may never otherwise have heard.

Hosted by Australian podcaster Jack Laurence.

People are taking notice - Tariq Maqbool Mar 17, 2025

Show notes

The story of Tariq Maqbool is one that had not been told in over 20 years. A man who was found guilty of a brutal double homicide in 2002—of Joong Ahn, 45, and his nephew, Mun Ahn, 28—on the night of November 1. On April 27, 2005, he was found guilty and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

During his time of incarceration, he decided to keep to himself and would not allow anyone to tell his story or take advantage of his situation for the sake of 'entertainment.' That’s why, when I reached out to him, I was honoured that he agreed to allow me the opportunity to help tell his story.

Since then, many people have started taking notice of his story and taking an interest in the case. Recently, I received an email from a professor at a university who told me that some of her students would be looking at his case this semester, working out if there was a way in which they might be able to help him. So, I recently sat down with three charming young women to talk about the case and how I came to meet Tariq Maqbool.

What the attorney thinks - Nosakhare Onumonu Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

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.

Life plus 104 isn't long enough? - Brad Hays Feb 26, 2025

Show notes

Brad Hays was handed a sentence fit for a serial killer—life plus 104 years—yet in his case, no one died. Nonetheless, he is sentenced to spend the remainder of his life behind bars. Although Brad’s sentence may seem hopeless, he still has the possibility of one day sitting before a parole board and asking to be sent home. That was until his girlfriend looked up his charges online and noticed something that shouldn’t have been there. It would seem someone had added an extra charge after Brad had already been sentenced—years later.

Brad recently sent me a message to share the news, and we immediately got on the phone to discuss the situation—one that he says could have ruined any chance of him ever going home.

What the attorney thinks - Arkeene Broaden Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

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.

The Deafening Silence of Time: Dorice Moore Feb 05, 2025

Show notes

Today, we catch up with the OG—the woman who started it all over two years ago—Dorice "Dee Dee" Moore.

I first reached out to Dorice more than six years ago after reading about her story, and we've been chatting on and off ever since.

Dorice was charged and convicted of the murder of Abraham Lee Shakespeare over fourteen years ago—a crime she has always maintained her innocence of.

Over the years, she has given several interviews to journalists and media outlets, but from what I’ve seen and heard, she has never truly been given the chance to share her side of the story without bias from the interviewer. That’s exactly what I set out to do, and so this journey began.
