One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Jack Laurence
In 'One Minute Remaining' I speak with inmates serving lengthy prison sentences for a range of different crimes. From arson to robbery, attempted murder and even murder itself and everything in between. I'm not here to try and prove them innocent or guilty, what I am here to do is allow them the chance to tell their stories. We'll look at the cases against them and allow them to tell us their accounts of the events that lead up to their incarceration.

Unshakable Science - P12
We recently wrapped up the stories of Tasha Shelby and Marsha Mills, two women who are facing the rest of their lives behind bars because of what we now know as 'Junk science'. These cases are so similar its scary! No other evidence suggests they had anything to do with the deaths of the children in these cases, nothing excpet the word of so called experts and in the case of Tasha Shelby even the expert says he got it wrong.As we do after each case we sit down with Michael Leonard 'The Voice of Reason' to find out what he thinks of what he has heard, will he belive in their innocence or has he heard something I missed?

Dusty Turner: Back Inside, and Out Again
I first sat down with Dusty when he was still inside a Virginia prison, more than three decades into an 82 year sentence for the 1995 murder of Jennifer Evans in Virginia Beach. It's a crime he has always said he did not commit, and one his Navy SEAL swim buddy, Billy Joe Brown, later confessed to carrying out alone.Since that first interview, we've followed every twist. The historic 3 to 2 parole board vote in January. The morning of 5 March 2026, when Dusty finally walked out of Greensville Correctional Center after 30 years and seven months inside. And then, just seven weeks later, the news none of us were expecting: on 21 April, Virginia State Police arrested Dusty and booked him back into Middle River Regional Jail on an alleged parole violation, with his attorney saying the issue came down to two relationships he had not formally disclosed to his parole officer.In this episode, I speak with Dusty from behind bars about what actually happened, how it felt to lose his freedom again so soon after gaining it, and what his legal team was doing to get him out. Then, after the Virginia Parole Board issued a notice on 14 May ordering his release, I catch up with him once more on the outside to find out where things stand now, what the past few weeks have done to him, and what comes next in a fight that, even after 31 years, is still not finished.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Unshakable Science - P11
In the 1990s and early 2000s, Shaken Baby Syndrome was considered medical fact. When doctors found subdural bleeding, retinal hemorrhages, and brain swelling - the so-called "triad" - the diagnosis was automatic: violent abuse.This medical certainty sent hundreds of people to prison, including Tasha Shelby and Marsha Mills - two women whose cases we've been following throughout this series. Both convicted based solely on expert testimony that claimed their guilt was scientifically undeniable.But was it?Professor Keith Findley joins us to examine the evolution of SBS science. As co-founder of the Wisconsin Innocence Project and co-author of the definitive Cambridge University Press book "Shaken Baby Syndrome: Investigating the Abusive Head Trauma Controversy," Professor Findley has spent decades studying how medical assumptions became legal fact - and how that "fact" has been systematically challenged by modern research.We explore how birth trauma, medical conditions, and even short falls can mimic the signs once thought exclusive to violent shaking. We examine why 34 people have been exonerated from SBS convictions as courts slowly recognize the diagnosis is unreliable. And we discuss why cases like Tasha's and Marsha's represent a much broader crisis in forensic medicine.From the biomechanics of infant injury to the legal standards that allowed flawed science into courtrooms, Professor Findley explains how medical overconfidence created a generation of wrongful convictions - and what it will take to prevent future injustices when science masquerades as certainty.The triad that once seemed unshakeable has been shaken to its core. But for those already convicted, scientific progress may have come too late.VOTE FOR OMR AUSTRALIAN AUDIO AWARDSEARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

A trip 4 years in the making
When I found out One Minute Remaining had been nominated for Outstanding Episodic Series at the 2026 CrimeCon Clue Awards in Las Vegas — the only international nominee across the entire awards — I had about five minutes to feel good about it before the chaos began.Getting to Vegas from Australia isn’t just a matter of booking a flight. There’s a media visa to apply for, a trip to the US Embassy in Sydney, prison visit requests to file with corrections departments in two states, unanswered emails, rejections.This is the episode where I take you behind the scenes of what it actually takes to do this job. The bureaucracy, the knock backs, the paperwork, the moments where you wonder why you ever left radio and the moments that remind you exactly why you did.Photo by Tim Mossholder VOTE FOR OMR AUSTRALIAN AUDIO AWARDSEARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Unshakable Science - P9
After losing her husband Mike, fifty-five-year-old Marsha Mills found purpose in caring for her two beloved granddaughters and occasionally watching Evan and Noah Shoup, toddlers from her daughter's best friend's family.On May 10th, 2006, that love would destroy her life. After feeding lunch to the four children, Marsha took them outside to play. With her infant granddaughter in her arms, she turned to close the back door when two-year-old Noah fell from the porch to the concrete patio below.The child was unconscious. Marsha moved him inside, called his father, and waited for emergency workers while caring for three other frightened children. When Noah died the next day, Marsha was charged with murder.The case against her was built on medical opinion, not evidence.Detective Larry Hootman, who first investigated the scene, testified it was a "freak accident." He was removed from the case. Detective Michael Goodwin used ultraviolet imaging throughout Marsha's house but found no substances or evidence of violence.No physical evidence. No weapon. No motive.But Dr. Daryl Steiner of Akron Children's Hospital had an opinion.Based on Noah's injuries, Steiner testified the child had been abused. The prosecution's medical examiner agreed, using a doll to demonstrate how Marsha allegedly slammed the toddler repeatedly against surfaces.The defense fought back with science.Biomechanical engineer Dr. Chris VanEe built a replica of Marsha's back porch and used crash test dummies to prove a fall down the steps could cause fatal injuries. Forensic pathologist Dr. John Plunkett testified that Noah's death was "probably accidental" and consistent with Marsha's account.Two experts saying accident. Two saying murder.The jury chose to believe the prosecutors.After five hours of deliberation, they found Marsha Mills guilty of murder. She was sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility after fifteen years.She remains behind bars today, a grandmother whose only crime was caring for children who weren't her own.VOTE FOR OMR AUSTRALIAN AUDIO AWARDSEARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.
