says she wants to be asking the questions and so we traded places in she took the microphone will we find peace how can we make the violence stop when will i be able to return home. hello i'm daryn jordan in doha with a quick reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera russia has called on both sides in libya's conflict to come together ahead of a summit in berlin without putting conditions all orderly for half dies in greece ahead of those talks which are aimed at ending the 9 month conflict iran's supreme leader says european states can't be trusted in the go see a sions over the 2050 nuclear deal at all ali harmony made the comments during friday prayers the 1st time he's got the sermon in tehran in 8 years u.s. president donald trump's defense team for his upcoming impeachment trial has been

announced they'll include former independent counsel ken starr and the lawyer island of each. table is on those in washington he says trump isn't taking any chances with his legal team. trump is taking this very very seriously i mean these 2 lawyers that he brought in to be part of this team are celebrity lawyers that are very very well known in washington and have a long history in this city and really in the nation 1st looking at alan dershowitz a long time a law professor at harvard he's considered one of the preeminent constitutional lawyers in the u.s. dershowitz is actually a democrat voted for hillary clinton however he has come out very strongly over the last 3 to 4 months or so even if before that saying that he believes that this impeachment trial is something that should not be pursued constitutionally and that there are no high crimes and so-called misdemeanors and so that's really caught trump's attention and i think that's probably why he brought dershowitz on his team

also dershowitz his peers on television here in the united states as a legal analyst a lot so he's very adept with the media spotlight and i think that's something that trump probably appreciates also you have ken starr who was from the late ninety's where you're well known in washington d.c. as you mentioned briefly he was the independent counsel that helped to prosecute or bring the trial impeachment trial against the then president bill clinton and so i think starr is very well known to and i think that's why he was probably brought on this team as well i think you can read into this that trump wants the absolute best people that he can get his hands on nearly 3000 migrants heading towards the mexican border have been offered jobs by mexico's president if they agree to state that connally heading north through guatemala hoping to get to the u.s. but some countries have come under increasing pressure from washington to stop migrants from crossing its southern border john oldman is in guatemala city. this

is the queue of people from honduras that have traveled in a caravan they were aiming to get to mexico many of them to get through mexico and to the united states were actually outside of a migrant shelter here in guatemala city so this is just one of the stops on the way for them there's already people that have gone on and are already at the border of guatemala mexico now what's going to happen there is the mexican government sortie said that it's not going to give them transit so that they can get through and get to the united states he says that the most it can offer them is to enter the country and to ask for asylum but it's actually quite a backlog for asylum in mexico city and so the people here as we said that a lot of them is sort of destined for disappointment really in the in the hope of reaching that dream of the united states the reasons that they go in and the reasons that they're leaving on to it are really 2 things boylan's they're fleeing

from gang city extort and kill much of the population in various different parts of the country and also poverty in honduras is not a lot of opportunities this in a canonic situation that's been bad in the in recent years has been getting worse when people say they just don't earn enough to live so looking for more opportunities in the north they come many of them with what they carrying is who they have. taken to stop here in the shelter you can see they're just going in and the new the next stop on their route nor thousands of volcano evacuees in the philippines a been temporarily allowed to return to the danger zone to collect their belongings while the volcano is calm it's not to much as we can but authorities say another eruption is still imminent those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after witness states.

during a police headquarters with 2 homes are detective talking about her their journey into you leave that up i just stand here watch you cry or 5 minutes you're not going home tonight i can guarantee you that. welcome back to wrongful conviction when jason today we're going to be doing a deep dive into an issue that is as fascinating as it is terrifying which is the phenomenon of false confessions and my guest today is going to be jane fisher very also and who's currently working on 4 cases involving false confessions and each is

fascinating in its own way so jane while some thank you for convection happy to be here and jane is an attorney who is an expert on false confessions so jane how did you get into this work i was a public defender in manhattan here in new york city for about 3 years and we saw a lot of police misconduct you know we were doing arraignments up until 1 am in the morning and you see people beat up or you know people whose cases get dismissed who get no compensation so my husband and i left the legal aid society with the hopes of doing civil rights work. my name is old castle i'm a distinguished professor of psychology at john jay college of criminal justice once a false confession is taken the case is closed nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that isn't the. problem with all of this is that there are tactics that can be used to get innocent people and i don't just mean vulnerable innocent people i mean people who are sitting around in this world to

confess to crimes they didn't commit. any time you do an exoneration case where there's been a false confession it's like trying to write a tries to. everybody's already against you the person's been convicted by a jury the judge thinks he's guilty the jury thinks he's guilty now you have to convince everybody that they're wrong. so a case that you're deeply invested in is a case of an alien ship who has been in prison for 20 years renee lynch. was a case we took about 2 and a half now maybe 3 years ago now and she was accused and

convicted of killing her landlord in buffalo new york in 1900. and it's also obviously a false confession case the police are going crazy and they can't solve it 18 months go by and renee's connection to to the victim was that it was her landlord and so they are start looking into running a who at the time was heavily addicted to drugs crack cocaine and. she gets arrested for something else and they start interrogating her and she confesses to killing her landlord with this guy karim so she says karim and i went to my landlord's house we were going to rob her the robbery goes bad and karim steps or so it's us she's a good century can make it a felony murder being present during the commission of a crime and somebody gets killed we started sort of doing you know just regular google searches on the players' names the detectives and everything in this t.v.

show women behind bars comes up and they've done an episode on bernie's case where they got in the in the prison and interviewed her and then interviewed this joseph court was the cop on the case just the way her body slumped when she decided to go you just saw it was time to tell the truth. i believe her confession is kind of nonsense there's inconsistency between the physical evidence and what she says and during the show he says well i mean we knew that corinne walker was in florida at the time of our crime my partner looked into it and karim was in florida at the time of our crime like well. i guess they knew karim walker was in florida at the time the crime then rene's confession can't possibly be true because she's confessing to going to rob the landlord with kareem at the defense been able to put that on her confession would have made no sense but the defense was never to.

our goal is of course to get renee out of prison but it can take a really long time sometimes many years and one of the 1st things we do in cases like this is to comb through the confession and find all the in consistencies to clearly show that the confession is false. and there's a cream walker drove me to 90 longmeadow and i am her. and was i was going to go into the front door and kareem was going to come up the back door. he was going to tie her up with a piece of white extension cord that he brought with him at that time kareem hit louise in the side of the face and louise fell to the floor in kind of went out if that happened he would be standing punching her here right when chremes head here in the face he knocked the wig off louise's head a little landed on the floor in the kitchen but that's really the kitchen. he tried

to tie louise up with the plastic or he had then cream comes from behind louise he stabbed her at least twice however we know it's 8 times. so the only thing she gets right is that the witness knocked off that there's a plastic cord involved in this case that's correct and the phone cord is where the extra d.n.a. is ringback. i'm just in the it's jean fisher byron also in renee lynch's attorney i have a call with her this morning. ok thinks. oh. oh. oh oh. oh. 00000000 why are quite sure.

i. i know it's hard. rene went to trial she testified but very incoherently she was high during the trial. and you know it was she was not a good witness for herself she recanted right away afterwards and her confession is that as it was coerced when i talked to him about this they're like well i would never prosecute that's what people say i've been talking about this for 30 years and that's the 1st thing everybody says i get it but it wouldn't happen to me. it's not one time the person that gives a false confession we are all vulnerable under the circumstance of interrogation we

are all there have been some trained detectives i've spoken to who say i can get anybody to confess to him many of them will boast that they have a 95 percent confession right but it's conceivable that a lesser of a lesser near perfect at identifying the perpetrator that is every suspect you identify is the perpetrator right if you've got a confession rate at that level you're producing a whole lot of false confessions we were in a lynch when i talked to her about it she explained to me i was so shocked that they convicted me she said because there was no evidence of a confession so powerful it can stand alone so here's the jury on the one hand they've got the confessions of the woman and they go delay the confessions trumped the d.n.a. changes everything it sometimes i've likened the final product of a confession to a hollywood production it is scripted by the police theory of the case it is rehearsed and then lights action camera ready to go. and that's what the jury

sees they don't see the whole production they just see the final i don't see how. a judge or jury to look past a forced confession is that ocean approached. the internet is case we're trying to get permission to test all the old evidence from d.n.a. but to do that we have to collect as much information about her innocence as we possibly can. go back and interview old witnesses collect documents go back to the crime scene. i keep coming back to this thing that the cops knew he was in florida and kept going with the story that they did together how can they be permitted to go forward with a serious of a case that they know is not true they made the trial basically matcher.

it just makes me so jaded and really disgusted with the district attorney's offices that i feel like you know the you know they're supposed to be at the top of the chain right there it's supposed to be the ones making sure the cops made mistakes or people below the cops made mistakes then they're the ones who are responsible for fixing it why not do d.n.a. testing we're not infallible we can all make mistakes i mean renee's going to be in prison for the rest of her life why not just check in rene's case it's especially frustrating because i mean they certainly believe that this was done not the stabbing was not done by her right so there is a set of i mean they're basically admitting that they have a cold case and there's a murderer out there and they still don't want to do it. we have a number of documented cases in which the person who falsely confessed actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior. which is.

a whole nother level of insanity and some of them believe it. for a long time afterwards right. here. in the melted thompson case we had he was a danish inturn who came. to danish he was a college student studying to become a teacher and he came interned at i.p.s. which is really you know like a $20000.00 a year preschool up by the un and it was a code teacher who accuses meltzer of molesting all the kids in the class and he's on the cover of the daily news they take his focus his facebook profile pictures him with his niece on his shoulders so they put that on the cover of the daily news and write sex monster and they go arrest him in the morning and bring him into the

station and they have a female cop interrogate him she tells him well you know we have video of you molesting these kids which they had videos but he's not molesting anybody so they had this woman who accused him had taken videos of him in the classroom interacting normally with children and so either the cops hadn't watched it or they had watched it and were blatantly lying to him but there was no video of him molesting kids but he hears that right and he thinks holy crap well if i'm on video i must have done it right they let him continue to believe this lie that he's caught red handed on tape molesting these kids and i think that that you know he started you could tell through the whole when they finally are recording him he's doubting himself you know he's he's wondering did i do this.

i think you can see. you. it's rachel ferrari you know and i mean assistant district attorney in new york county mr thompson. can you tell me why you're here today yes. i'm here because i'm in the port of. my colleagues and. for inappropriate. behavior with kids ok so why don't you tell me. probably anything how this started what happened you know what happened. you know well. and remember decide to go down just a few moments about. and then. present to me that i have.

missed as i. have proof in the you know and so. i had taken. his hands during play time and place in her own mind. consider a merge short and. you know for sure if for them that your question or your. so when you say give you pleasure at one time that was central to. it would have to be. i don't know you know. my memory just like it is know that it is your right now since to mend it that's your handwriting and it is just losing it over briefly because it looks like it's been changed in any way. and that's your signature

at the bottom because you read this out earlier today they're just going to show it to camera. i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to you i think most people would think that if i'm speaking to a police officer he's time to the truth but now to tom's i mean in denmark it's illegal for the police to lie to you so he really i think was was you know really says extra susceptible to something like that it took us filing the civil rights suit to even get access to these tapes the district attorney wouldn't give it to us when the criminal case was pending we asked that quote we move for a court order to get at the judge just wouldn't give it to us but they sat on these tapes for 8 months he had this case hanging over his head and they knew that there was nothing in the tapes right and because was that was the only evidence there was yes luckily mel to never got convicted right we were able to stop it before that

happened but it took i mean it almost killed him. my. parents found sexual abuse involving very young children were brought to the attention. in his office. this time. if you tell everything to dismiss this case after our nation is gathered in our stands now. we have a chance to have this. is what i miss it then oh man it's he still in fact is awful for what dansko was it appointed about him and its function to want to install a c.p.a. so he put in a treaty between the elite sport from sin no one say it's going to help put the 2 end of the good in salem and sitting for it to pass says just listen forward to put in

a new ear which is here in new york i can't for. the for fun see treating its 3 stories up. in the most false confession cases there falsely from fasting to an actual crime that they didn't commit in this case he was confessing to something that never even happened. as you said so poignantly i mean his life was ruined and he didn't even get convicted. you know the central park jogger case was my 1st interaction with false confessions are firm represented corey wise on his civil rights case i'm not that's a hell of a way to start i mean you're diving right in at the deep end there yeah you know the circumstances at play in that case were huge amount of pressure on the police

and the authorities to make arrests and make them stick 5 teenagers but they couldn't be infamous central park jogger case in 989 the rape and beating of a female jogger made headlines nationwide teenagers are confessed but later claimed that their confessions have been covered. when the actual perpetrator stepped forward the 5 men were flying the economy over the past time for. 7 years in prison and one of them corey was 30. 1 the most notorious crimes in the history of new york city it was a crime in which a woman who was a wealthy upper east side investment banker was out jogging at dusk and was dragged into the woods in central park and almost beaten to death and it was front page news every day everywhere and they are out to get arrested and they got him.

when you get to the false confession in that case it was a classic you know. mismatch they were totally overmatched underrepresented if represented at all i don't know what they could pick or even have anyone in the room with now is going to be 16 so he was considered an adult sadly and so his mom was not allowed in there and they you know had given them lawyers they all waived their their miranda rights. this is very very serious this may be very we don't know if this woman is there. i want to know exactly where you are and exactly what and exactly what you said. after seeing those stages i'm sure that you can see. what it is to know when.

it is hard for people to understand how this can happen how how they could produce a confession to something they didn't do and it really is a complicated set of stories there is no one reason. you know corey was confessed to get out of this bad situation he was under intense pressure for many many hours right he was likely be told that others were giving stories and that he needed to cooperate in order to go it is very telling in the central park 5 case that every one of them every one of the boys and every one of the parents who were present were surprised that the boys were arrested after their statements every one of them thought i was going home well you know what that sounds crazy right here thought you were gone or confess to

a rape and go all right but you know that one false confessors were interviewed after. and they've been exonerated and the 1st question everybody wants those i don't understand why don't you confront the most typical response because i want to go home. innocent people often say afterwards you know i was so tired i was so stressed i figured let me sign this confession it'll all work itself out in the end the detectives often say you know we have d.n.a. we're going to send it to the lab. grade they think that claiming they have to enable a bluff is a way to scare the criminal into submission it may be right but if the person you're talking to is not the criminal but an innocent person that the law becomes a promise of future exoneration paradoxically makes it easier to confess right running cade courtley we're going to do some tests we're going to take blood samples from a lot of different people. right i just want to know that if we do that we will

probably get an order to take a sample from you. and then we'll compare it to tests. right because you're in a position now where if you know that there's an to be a match. that you'd be better off if you tell us about it now or the stairs instead of saying something that's natural or is this. one of the things i think they made you say was that you cut her on the legs where did you how did you come up with that i don't know. came from no i don't know he just made it up i don't know it came from no i don't know. like why does someone do that right that's what everybody wants to know and they're liable to happen to you that well had to do was play where i said i was plagued with that because i think most people would like to think i would like to think to myself like i would never do that but did you ever say to yourself damn why did i tell these lives why do i tell

these lies a poem i suddenly really really did not exist in my really did not exist as i would just heard i just felt going to there probably exist in my world which is just for the hurt that i did i said something i've new form with the model of the wood with the model of the mire it was a it was a river but just to go home or guess my way nor me. i was worried that it was going to be true it was one of which where it all. so is this shop or we're going. to see a explores prominent figures of the 20th century and how and why would we see influence the course of history the souls that did not get enough credit for it being a budget you want to be a big historical figure but he was mandela the biggest called in the world the prisoner and the president who came together to end up apartheid in south africa

nelson mandela and f.w. de klerk face to face on all just the. they join one of the world's most notorious sound groups. but found a way out to rebuild their lives and now help avance. a tale of course for crew and child soldiers and have refit exploitation of women or door to is a palace a bad part of the radicalize nude scene and it's funneled to 0. 0

. effort. and i'm down in jordan doha with a quick reminder of the top stories here on the al-jazeera russia has called on both sides in libya's conflict to come together at a summit in berlin without putting conditions warlord anything half dozen greece ahead of those talks which are aimed at ending the 9 month conflict. drove me to the most important thing now is that after the berlin conference if everything goes as planned and the security council supports the conclusions from the conference the libyan sides do not repeat their own past mistakes and start adding any additional conditions and blaming each other as of now the relationships between

them are very strange they don't even want to be in the same rooms let alone speak or meet each other dozens of people have been injured in clashes in the iraqi capital baghdad security forces fired tear gas to break up a crowd of demonstrators trying to breach baghdad's bridge the bridges close to tahrir square where thousands have been camped out for months demanding political change in iraq hundreds of people have been killed since mass protests began in october. iran's supreme leader says european states can't be trusted in the go see asians over the 2050 nuclear deal. hominidae made the comments during friday prayers the 1st time he's been in tehran in 8 years. protesters in the yemeni city of tire use are demanding that the government does more to and in the 4 years of conflict it's on the front lines of yemen's war and a struggle with famine and poverty probably iran who the rebels and saudi backed fighters battling for control of the city nearly 3000 migrants heading towards the

mexican border have been offered jobs by president and there is money lopez obrador if they agree to stay the president has also said the migrants were given medical attention and access to shelter coming to moving north through guatemala hoping to get to the u.s. but central american countries are under pressure from washington to stop my guns crossing its southern over. thousands of volcano evacuees in the philippines have been temporarily allowed to return to the dangers and the may have a town in the tongass province lifted evacuation orders on friday people can collect belongings and rescue their animals while the volcano is calm its activity has weakened in the last few days but authorities say another eruption may still be imminent well those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after witness so watching. centuries it was the remote this of brazil's indigenous communities that protected them from the rapacious outside world now

it's what shields those who are encroaching on protected indigenous territory starting fires and threatening the residents the county tonight had the 1st contact with the outside world in 1978 young. catch eager to king had native language translated for us into portuguese remembers it well she says they brought diseases that decimated her community. we had a lot of land and we lived peacefully really with fear that are very few firsts the invaders are coming closer it's difficult to gauge why a place so remote so tranquil should not says so much to the rest of the walls indigenous people who live here with realized that now is the smoke fills the skies and the ashes pollute the river the rest of the world is beginning to realize it too.

versus there too right. i bet what happens here is she says he knocks her out on the kitchen floor and they're like man doesn't work doesn't work renee not good enough didn't didn't he do in the living room look at this photo look at what happens here oh yeah. it certainly doesn't fit with renee's no concise no i want to see a real police report i think you heard that some wishful thinking mike i don't think there is a real police report i mean. i just don't. maybe they sort of knew they were names confession was not so good or not true and so

they didn't really want kareem because they didn't really believe that he was there . that or that it happened like that and so if they get him in that then they could end up with nobody bacon today i believe that amherst was you know in their ranking safest place in america lived oh really was that their image was getting tarnished you know so became very little bright. one taking on a case like rene's the danger is always the case of events or other crime scene evidence has not been preserved. if there's no crime scene evidence or case evidence. then there's nothing to d.n.a. test and if there's no d.n.a. and. to test it's extremely hard to prove that your client is innocent.

that's from the. right. in rene's case it was a very bloody crime scene the murder weapon was never found but there was a purse that had a bloody fingerprint in it and there was a drawer in the bedroom with a bloody fingerprint on it they d.n.a. tested some things but not those and the only d.n.a. found at the crime scene was the victims. from the newsgroup. you know. i think out of 41 pieces of evidence they tested 7. for d.n.a. and so you know they're in trouble right at trial because you can't get convicted on your own confession alone so they go and they try to round up jailhouse snitches but only one who worked. so it was her confession and a jailhouse snitch which is so common in false confession cases and you have the

confession and then the extra evidence because there's no physical evidence the corroboration to the confession is a snitch. my . you know little woman her name a. long time ago. so i'm trying to get her out of prison because i don't believe that she did what she was accused of i need to talk with raquel they were in bedford together thanks. for your. call like they were all. playing kong aren't i hope so please please because it has a name is due in 25 to life or something she didn't do. and we really are are hitting a lot of of dead ends and rockwell's are huge going to be a huge help to us ok i'm very much thank you sir.

i know by if you mean you can i have no practical ok. oh. ok. do you mind if i said there. is only a little bit of good that's ok do you know read your. own history before you got your body will feel fine no we're trying we're trying. do you remember interacting with any of the police officers back then mr g.q. may as june was name was very if some of. my impression looking back thank you all here she's guilty while she was guilty and he go make sure you know who sometimes it was a bloody crime so now we know i was my security d.n.a.

so these are all somebody else to be in right now. it was one of the things that's one of the things that we hope to be able to do is retest the d.n.a. there's knowledge she has no chance some cases we get and we look at them and we even if we believe the person's innocent we can say well i mean there's just for a variety of reasons nothing we can do there's something we can do here but not a lot of people get exonerated. hello. and yeah it's just work out. i just want to talk to you because i know helping renee trying to get her out can we come by what do i have to just talk to me. also just think you so much.

we need to ask most of the most important thing to so how she was to what her actions what the police were. living with young right with on drugs you know an ally for me every day and he didn't have a car with a ok good for 30 promise you anything like where you going to get out let me go on with you right right i want to get out and so you actually did get out thank you we really appreciate it. ok so that's good that's helpful. why don't. you.

well at least 3 years on one of 2 girls will render one toy i was arrested in the year 2000 and accused of a murder of a young schoolteacher in denver he's 14 years old friends when this happened and he is tiny like maybe 110 pounds or a girl nobody killed or near. the overlap between meltzer and

lorenzo is mounted they tell him there's these videotapes that show him abusing children which there aren't in lorenzo's they actually go as far as to have him take his shoes off and they do this whole charade where this very angry cop comes back in with the shoe and says well i'm a shoe print expert and your shoe matches the print at the crime scene was untrue. the body. of obama. you know. you feel.

in the united states police a permitted to lie about evidence. and say right out of order that we have something. to think long and fast about. that is a shocking discovery to most people most western countries don't permit it the u.s. supreme court permits it so consequently you have 2 detectives making it seem as if we have independent evidence they sometimes will get very specific about what that evidence is telling us that you are involved in something they've already started that is shaping process and the mother already is believing it we're still going to see both of you they're not ready. to say go for it isn't it is it. rather that the real issues that you need to show you that are in that are the same breath that you

get out you mean a state so he just introduced the word mistake he's about to develop this theme that enables lorenzo to admit some degree of involvement while minimizing his own role it's part of a package of techniques that in which you communicate to a suspect that i think you're a good person i understand what you've been through i sympathize with what you've been through often you hear normalising statements like you know water if i were in your situation i would have done the same thing and all by the way i don't think you intended to do this i think it was an accident or maybe your friends put you up to it or maybe you were provoked there you need to feel that was the red zone i don't think you're going to have begun. i didn't want to jack the car into one that did. the communication moves in one direction it is designed to leave the person the suspect would think that the police don't think this is such a big deal right and therefore i'll be treated with leniency ok so one of my

choices either i can be the accomplice who refuses to speak or i can admit to what they want me to admit to given all of the minimisation that they've given me and enjoy the benefit of that but there are going to go. you. go how do you presume they're going to do that they look at how much they have communicated already he now knows so much about this crime that whether he was there or had anything to do with it or not he now knows enough about it to give you a description. and renzo why were you there. while you're a sleaze house it was not. the reason you see things in that little computer there for hours later jr who kicked you in the head of course the building a story for him to tell. or is it you know the right ridge those shoes wrote part of the dre shoes. around so was it your in.

your job is just right around he's now being set up so that when he's ready to give a statement he knows exactly what that statement should convey that he knows the gate he knows kicked in the head shoe dragging her through the blood you know he's got it all so later a judge and a jury is going to watch that final confession and they're going to be so impressed and unable to look past that because they keep on asking themselves what happened you know those things if he was in there right. stare me down. you made that up. i just stand there watch your cry for 5 minutes you wait then tough you know. you're your home you're not going home tonight i can guarantee that you'll run from. and they do not put you in juvenile hall or murder which will be boys you know. you read to mom you voted talk now or say goodbye to your

mom it's a pretty clear and your cousin and your sister and your girlfriend and your life. you read into any longer. you ready. room. what can an innocent person do next solve the situation and he thought i guess you could hold out right forever just hold out. doesn't everybody have a breaking point so why must.

he was in prison for 14 years so he got out a 28 he was in solitary confinement for 4 years because when he goes into a grown up prison he's 14 and he can't be in with the general population so he goes to solitary confinement for 4 years for $14.00 to $18.00 lorenzo was exonerated and we have a civil rights too pending for him and the. opposition are you know they're they're moving to have the case dismissed based on qualified immunity for the police. so we talked about how out of these 4 cases you know corey and melt and lorenzo have all been exonerated by rene you know her case remains active and and she's been in prison now for 20 years her son grew up without a mom she you know he has she's grandkids now that she's never met other than on a phone through glass. she said to heart attacks while she's been

in prison and is probably not getting the right medical treatment for that you know we're just hoping that you know time could be on our side and we can get her out sooner rather than later but i mean she is a. a life that's. wasted. 20 years 6 months i mean i'm not doing the time it's my mom she wants us to last oh oh oh oh fortune wife calls on yeah i'll side of ours just have to be patient and wait you know. and i don't just understand how you could live with that for so long because that feels. just know she's in there. this is some fair book as they all know you just go with the cars. the law of the

business of you know right. now just try to make a better word for markets for much over them make sure that all have to suffer and endure what our own draw of bono does come alive almost from the door for us which with the former all right well it's hard to get out of those times. so you should be proud of yourself i'm sure she's proud of you. and all them of the states of member states to everybody does. i hope you reunite in person. i hope that we can make that happen for you. be it. thank you.

so corey today is he's living well right he got a huge settlement but it doesn't take away those demons in his head you know he's a he was in from 16 to almost 30. so what are you now when you come out he's never going to have the mental peace and rest that you know you and i can probably accomplish sometimes but he has lost his whole family. there's no relationship with them really. and that's something that the then why peavy in the city in the prosecutors took away from him right that money can't replace. come back to society you don't you don't know what to do with. you don't know what to do or it. will be the morning. star over here.
