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.

What the attorney thinks - John Ortiz-kehoe Feb 03, 2025

Show notes

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.

A sentence fit for a serial killer - Jessie Milo P2 Jan 08, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of One Minute Remaining, I sit down with Jessie Milo, an inmate at the infamous San Quentin State Prison.

Jessie has been handed a sentence that might suggest he ranks among the likes of Ted Bundy or the BTK Killer—yet Jessie has never taken a life. His true crime is a series of incredibly poor life choices. With a childhood spent on drug runs with his mother at just five years old and a father who was repeatedly sent to prison, it's little wonder Jessie found himself following a similar path.

Jessie opens up about life behind the storied walls of San Quentin, the challenges of incarceration—including nearly eight years spent in solitary confinement—and the personal journey that led him there. From navigating the harsh realities of prison culture to sharing his thoughts on redemption and reform, Jessie’s story provides a raw and unfiltered glimpse into life on the inside.

Locked Up and Unfiltered: John Merritt's Prison Stories P2 Jan 01, 2025

Show notes

John Merritt has been incarcerated for almost forty years for a murder he says he didn't commit. We recently covered John's story over several episodes of One Minute Remaining. However, after being incarcerated for as long as John has, he has more than a few stories to tell.

When John asked if I thought the OMR jury might be interested in hearing some of them, I said, "Sure!"

Just a word of warning: these are prison stories.

They are uncensored, raw, and real. If you are easily offended, the next two OMR episodes might not be for you.
