Last year, I introduced you to the case of Dustin Turner, a man who has long maintained his innocence while serving a sentence that has kept him behind bars for decades for the murder of Jennifer Evans. He and his co-accused, Billy Brown, were sentenced to 75 and 85 years behind bars without the possibility of parole.Since his conviction, Dustin has consistently denied he played any part in Jennifer’s murder and that his only involvement was making the poor decision to help Billy cover it up by disposing of her body.Ahead of his most recent parole hearing, I caught up with Dustin to talk through how he was feeling as the decision approached. He was cautiously optimistic. This time, the maths mattered. He didn’t need a unanimous decision, only a majority vote. Based on prior indications, he believed he already had that support. What remained was for it to be formally decided at a public hearing.I attended that hearing via Zoom, battling through audio issues as the parole board laid out their views. What followed was a mix of encouragement and concern. One board member, a former prosecutor with more than forty years’ experience, stated that he believed Dustin had already spent more time in prison than he should have. Another warned that granting parole could set a dangerous precedent.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here. Hosted on Acast.

With OMR taking a break over Christmas, I thought I’d use this opportunity to introduce you to some of my other shows you may not have discovered yet.In 2024, I created Mysteries at Bedtime — a show designed for those who enjoy a good mysterie before drifting off to sleep. So here’s one of our most popular episodes to date. If you enjoy it, why not check out more available right now.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the quiet village of Dodleston, Cheshire, a bizarre and baffling mystery began unfolding in 1984. Ken Webster, a schoolteacher, was working on a BBC Micro computer when strange messages began to appear—written in an archaic form of English, and allegedly sent by someone living in the year 1541. The messages continued over the following months, becoming more elaborate and unnerving. Later, new messages arrived this time from someone claiming to live in the year 2109, warning of unseen forces manipulating time itself.Known today as the Dodleston Messages, this case remains one of the strangest examples of alleged time slip communication in modern paranormal lore. Was it an elaborate hoax, a psychological trick… or genuine contact across centuries? In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we examine the digital trail, the witness accounts, and the unanswered questions behind one of Britain’s most haunting tech-era mysteries.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Well, we are at the end of another year of One Minute Remaining. As we say goodbye to 2025, I thought it was a good opportunity to sit down with the man they call The Voice of Reason, Michael Leonard, to reflect on some of the wildest cases of the past year.I have selected four cases that I feel had the biggest impact on you, the Jury. Michael and I take another look at the key issues in each case, the unanswered questions, and what they reveal about the justice system itself.If a case is not mentioned, it does not mean I do not have major concerns about it or feel for the person at the centre of it. I am grateful for each and every person who has been willing to share their story with me, and we will, as always, make sure we stay in contact with them and keep you updated on their individual situations.Thank you to each and every one of you for another year of amazing support. The show received more than 2.5 million downloads in 2025, which has truly blown me away. Thank you, and I look forward to sharing more stories with you next year.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here. Hosted on Acast.
