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.

It sounds like the Wild West P2 - Shawn Robert Johnson Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

Hello and welcome back to one minute remaining my name is Jack Laurence the host and creator of this show.

Today we travel, for the first time, to the state of New Jersey to speak with a man housed in the infamous New Jersey state prison once called Trenton prison.

Trenton is home to arguably some of the worst criminals America ha seen. Including a number of serial killers such as Charles Cullen, Frank Masini and the late Richard Kaklinski.

However the man I'm speaking with today is no serial killer although he was convicted of murder a crime he says was self defense.

Stanford prison experiment - DR Craig Haney Jul 15, 2024

Show notes

Hello and Welcome back to One Minute Remaining, today I'm sitting down with American social psychologist and a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz DR Craig Haney.

I am currently in the process of working on a new project with a gentlemen who is incarcerated in San Quentin prison, now I'm going to be annoying and say I wont be telling you at this stage what that is but as part of this project I was looking for certain experts to weigh in and take part, I do love an expert, one of those experts I found was a man by the name of Dr Craig Haney.

I reached out to him and asked if he would chat with me to which he agreed.

What I didn't know at the time was not only is he a highly regarded professor and psychologist who has spent his life studying capital punishment and the psychological impact of and the American Prison system but he was also one of the researchers who conducted the 1970s experiment known as the Stanford prison experiment.

The judge didn't like the verdict P2 - Corey Elder Jul 10, 2024

Show notes

The story of Corey Elder is by no means anything unusual when it comes to incarcerated people across the US.

He found himself at a young age having a run in with the law that sent him down the wrong path. However after his first long stint behind bars he had made the decision that he was done and wanted to make a change.

He got a job and was about to become a father when all of a sudden his life would change forever and he would be handed a sentence that would see him incarcerated until his then unborn daughter would be 46 years old.

What the attorney thinks - Marcellus Williams Jul 03, 2024

Show notes

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...

Facing 144 years P2 - Christopher Willars Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

On many occasions during the course of this shows life I have said on many occasions that I strongly believe we are all just one stupid decision away from potentially ruining our lives, that is especially true when we are young.

I made many poor decisions as a youngster, decisions that I look back on today and just thank my luck stars that they didn't go south.

Of course, some of us make poorer decisions than others, my decisions were made based on stupid judgments, usually fueled by alcohol, Chris Willars decision was based on a warped sense of family loyalty, wanting to belong and an underpinning anger.

Today Christopher Willars or 'life', as he's known to his friends, is a free man a changed man and a principal at a school.

So how did he go from looking down the barrel of 144 years in prison to where he is today?
