he is one of the lawyers who represented steven odiase. and we're also joined by jennifer gonnerman, a staff writer for the "new yorker" magazine. her most recent piece, "a woman's quest to prove her brother's innocence leads to a discovery." welcome to democracy now! talk about this piece you wrote so eloquently about in "the new yorker." covered it very well up top. this is a story of what appears to be a police report that is whited out. the yellow card on the screen was the part that was not shown to the trial attorney before trial. essentially, that pertains to a witness that essentially vanished. the trial attorney did not know about that witness, and it appears this young man spent six years in prison and would have spent many more years in prison if not for the intervention of his family, his sister, his attorneys. he would have done at least 25 years. yet at 25 to life sentence. amy: this is amazing. describe what happens. there are just a few lines that are completely whited out so just looks like it is another paragraph. though
