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.

Felony Murder Rule P2 - Zachariah Peterson Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

On Tuesday January 18th 2011 just after 2pm police get a call about gun shots and a man lying in a pool of blood at the Sunset Trailer Park off Lenoir Street in South Columbia.

The following day at 1:30pm police would say that Zach Peterson was their main suspect in the death of 31 year old James Leon Porter, killed during a suspected drug deal gone bad.

Zach has never denied setting up the deal and driving James Porter to the location, however he says that was the extent of what he knows from that day as he would leave Mr. Porter at the trailer park and drive across town and would later find out things went bad and James had been shot.

At trial Zach's defence would bring strong evidence to help prove he was not in fact the shooter in this crime. The jury would later decide that they did not in fact believe Zach to be the shooter however he would still be found guilty of 2nd Degree Murder, why? the Felony Murder rule.

What the attorney thinks P3 - Damian Skinner Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

After recently wrapping up the story of Damian Skinner its time as always to check in with the man they call the voice of reason, OMR's resident defence attorney Michael Leonard.

Damian Skinner grew up in California's infamous streets of Compton. A place where gang violence is everywhere. The Bloods and the Crips are bitter rivals and often settle disputes with blood shed.

Damian had nothing to do with the gangs growing up, his only focus as a young teenager was sport. He had dreams of making it big in the world of baseball, he worked hard at school on his grades and his game.

His father was a minister in a local church and did his best to shield his children from the gangs and the violence outside. Unfortunately Damian's older brother would take a different path to Damian and found his way into the Crips and would not only join the notorious gang but also make a name for himself as someone who was willing to do what needed to be done.

In 1996 Damian's life would change as a SWAT team arrives at his home to arrest him for murder, a murder he believes could have been carried out by his own brother.

Finally Justice Prevails P2 - Evaristo Salas Jnr Oct 11, 2023

Show notes

After 27 years incarcerated for a murder he always maintained he was innocent of, finally the courts agree! Evaristo Salas Jnr is a free man!

Evaristo Salas was accused of firing two shots into Jose Arreola’s head in Sunnyside in November 1995.

He was tried as an adult and convicted by a jury of first-degree murder three days after his 16th birthday and was sentenced to nearly 33 years in prison. The gun used in the murder was never recovered and there was no physical evidence linking Jnr to the killing.

His conviction was based on the testimony of a police informant, Bill Bruhn, and Arreola’s girlfriend, Ofelia Cortez (formerly Gonzalez), who was there when her partner was shot.

Many TV shows have uncovered horrific truths about the so called 'evidence' in this case, yet Jnr still remains incarcerated.

This is his story, as told by him.

Crime and abhorrent punishment P2 - Russell Manser Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

Russell Manser served 23-years behind bars in Northern Territory, Queensland and NSW prisons and made a name as one of Australia's most notorious criminals before leaving a life of crime behind and starting a charity that would offer support to victims of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of institutions, as they seek justice.

Russell grew up in Western Sydney, for him, bank robbers who came from his area were people he looked up to, men who coming home from prison were so often greeted like hero's. Russell didn't come from a broken home, in fact he came from a very law abiding household where upholding the family name was important.

Unfortunately Russell's life was taking a different direction.

This is the story of former Australian Bank Robber Russell Manser, as told by him.
