Sobre o podcast
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.

I'll be back with new episodes of OMR very soon but while I'm away you might want to check out one of my other shows Crime at Bedtime.
By day, Robert Hansen was a quiet family man, a skilled baker, and a respected member of Anchorage, Alaska’s small community. But beneath the surface was a predator like no other. Between 1971 and 1983, Hansen abducted, assaulted, and murdered at least 17 women — though authorities suspect the number may be much higher. His twisted signature? Flying his victims into the Alaskan wilderness, releasing them… and hunting them like animals. In this episode, we uncover how Hansen evaded suspicion for over a decade, the investigation that finally caught him, and the terrifying details of his chilling double life.

Tariq Maqbool had just earned his associate degree from Thomas Edison State University, studying by correspondence from inside East Jersey State Prison. With his mother visiting from Texas, he asked to take part in the prison's graduation ceremony. His university sent him a gown. Prison staff fitted him in it. Then, on the day, he was told he couldn't wear it.
Tariq chose his prison khakis instead and was told that was his choice. A few hours later he was in handcuffs, charged with disobeying an order, and moved to Northern State Prison in Newark.
In this One Minute Remaining update, we hear from Tariq about what happened, explain what an asterisk charge is, and look at how New Jersey's in house disciplinary hearings, known as court line, really work. The charge was overturned. But how did it get this far?
Listen now to One Minute Remaining, and follow Tariq Maqbool's story as it unfolds.

What is it really like to serve a life sentence? In this special Q&A episode of One Minute Remaining, Jack sits down with Susan Brown, a woman serving life for murder in Michigan, to put your questions to her.
Nothing was off the table. Susan talks about the everyday realities most people never think about, from using the bathroom in the middle of the night with a cell partner a few feet away, to whether women in prison can get hold of makeup.
Then the conversation turns to the bigger questions. Does incarceration actually work? And what are the biggest misconceptions people have about life inside?
Honest, surprising and at times uncomfortable, this is prison life in Susan Brown's own words.
Thank you to everyone who sent in a question.

In 2003, Susan Brown was 30 weeks pregnant when her estranged husband came to her Detroit home. She says he beat her, raped her and stabbed her in the stomach, and that she fought back to save herself and her unborn child. He died. Susan waited on the curb for police, gave birth by emergency C section hours later, and was then charged with premeditated first degree murder. She has been serving life without the possibility of parole ever since.
After years of work by advocates and a public commutation hearing before the Michigan Parole Board, Susan's bid for clemency was denied.
In this episode, Susan joins me again to talk about how she has coped since hearing that news, what it took to keep going, and what happens now. Because the door is not closed. Susan gets to try again, and she is already preparing to do exactly that.
We also talk about the very polarising situation of a female prisoner whos death sentence was carried out and failed, twice.

For more than a decade, Anthony Duke has been behind bars, serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the 2011 murder of his friend, Ronald Hauser. It's a crime Tony has always maintained he did not commit.
As a long-time guest of One Minute Remaining, Tony has shared the realities of life behind bars. But recently, that life was turned upside down when, without warning, he was told to pack up his belongings. He was being transferred to another prison.
In this episode, I catch up with Tony to find out where he's ended up, how his new surroundings compare to the prison he'd grown accustomed to, and what it's like to have your entire world uprooted when you have no say in the matter.
We also take a closer look at how prison transfers actually work, what happens when an inmate is moved, and the challenges of starting over in an unfamiliar facility.

The case against Traveontaye Berry was built on a foundation of procedural failures, forensic gaps, and witness contamination.
But what does a seasoned trial lawyer see when he reviews the entire investigation, the trial itself, and the conviction?
In this episode, Michael Leonard of Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago joins us. Michael has spent his career defending people charged with serious crimes. He knows what the law requires. He knows what happened here.
Michael sits down to dissect every piece of evidence we've examined, every decision that was made, and every moment where the system failed to protect a sixteen-year-old boy's right to a fair trial.
This is the legal reality of Traveontaye Berry's case: 52 Years in Just 2 Hours.

The jury deliberated for less than two hours.
When they returned, the verdict was guilty on Count 4: First-Degree Murder. Traveontaye Berry, sixteen years old, was facing fifty-two years in prison. The rest of his life, behind bars.
In this final episode of our series, Tray talks about that moment. What it felt like to hear the words. The reality of his sentence hitting him. The years ahead stretching out with no clear end.
But this is not where his story ends.
After more than a decade in prison, new evidence emerged. Two people came forward with sworn affidavits claiming that Myleka Avery, the state's only eyewitness, admitted to them that she lied. That she knew Traveontaye Berry was innocent. That she identified him anyway.
Based on these new affidavits, Tray was granted a post-conviction evidentiary hearing. For the first time in more than eleven years, his conviction could be challenged. New testimony could be heard. The truth could finally emerge.
This is Part Ten of Traveontaye Berry's story, and the beginning of his fight for freedom: 52 Years in Just 2 Hours.

By the time Traveontaye Berry's case reached trial in February 2015, he had already faced a choice most teenagers should never have to make: accept a plea deal or roll the dice in a courtroom.
He chose to fight.
In this episode, Tray walks us through what that meant. The deal he turned down. The prosecution's case against him. His defence. What it felt like to be 16 years old, sitting in a courtroom, watching a jury make a decision that would define the rest of his life.
He talks about the trial process itself: the evidence presented, the witnesses who testified, the arguments made on both sides. And he talks about his own experience of it all. The fear. The hope. The reality of watching a jury deliberate for less than two hours before returning a guilty verdict.
Six counts of First-Degree Murder. Fifty-two years.

Over the past seven episodes, we’ve examined the physical evidence gaps, the witness contamination, the unrecorded photo lineup, and the investigative decisions that led to Traveontaye Berry’s conviction.
But what does a professional murder investigator see when he listens to these police interviews?
In this episode, we sit down with Steve Keogh, a former Scotland Yard Detective Inspector with 30 years in the Metropolitan Police and 12 years investigating homicides. During his career, Keogh investigated over 100 murders across London. He’s written extensively on how murders are really investigated, consulted on major crime cases, and now examines murder investigations for television and his media work.
We played him the police interview recordings from the Traveontaye Berry investigation. We asked him to assess the interview methodology, the witness handling, the procedural decisions, and the investigative approach that shaped this case.
What Steve identified is a masterclass in how not to conduct a murder investigation. From leading questions to witness contamination, hear how a veteran detective works.
This is Part Eight of Traveontaye Berry’s story: 52 Years in Just 2 Hours.

Over the course of this investigation, a name keeps surfacing. Multiple times. Multiple witnesses. In interviews with police, in statements given in the hours and days after Carl Green Jr. was shot, three separate people mention this individual in connection with the crime.
According to witness accounts, this person was present that night. This person allegedly had a weapon. And perhaps most significantly, this person had previously threatened Carl Green Jr.
So why was Traveontaye Berry the only person arrested?
In Part Seven, we examine what investigators knew about this alternative suspect, what they chose to investigate, and what they chose to ignore as they built their case against a 16-year-old boy.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
I need to be really clear about something. No one other than Trae has ever been arrested, charged, tried or convicted for the murder of Carl Green Jr. The other people mentioned in these interviews have never been charged with anything in connection with this case, and some have denied any involvement.
What we're examining here is what investigators considered, what witnesses said, and the choices police made in directing their investigation toward one suspect whilst potential leads involving others went unexplored.

In Episode Five, we heard how police brought two eyewitnesses into the same room and had them confront each other about conflicting accounts. Now, in Part Six, we examine something equally troubling.
Myleka Avery, the prosecution's only eyewitness, spent her first two police interviews stating she did not know Traveontaye Berry. She had no idea who had fired a gun in her home that night.
Then came the photo lineup.
But here's the problem: it was never recorded. The officer conducting the identification procedure failed to document the moment Myleka allegedly picked Tray out of a lineup. Instead, the recording only begins after the fact. We hear the officer ask: "Now I just showed you a photo lineup and you picked someone out. Who did you pick?"
The witness identification is one of the most critical moments in any criminal investigation. A recorded lineup protects both the witness and the accused. It prevents suggestion. It prevents influence. It creates an objective record of exactly what happened.
This didn't happen. And the witness who couldn't identify Tray two interviews earlier suddenly could identify him in a process that was never documented.

In 2013, 16-year-old Traveontaye Berry was arrested for the murder of Carl Green Jr. in Freeport, Illinois — a crime Trae has always maintained he did not commit.
In Part Five of 52 Years in Just 2 Hours, we hear a crucial moment in the investigation as police bring the two eyewitnesses together.
Their accounts of what happened that night do not match. Now, investigators put them in the same room in an attempt to resolve those differences — and, in particular, to get one of the witnesses to change her version of events.
We hear what happens when the women come face-to-face, what police are trying to establish, and what the encounter reveals about the evidence that would eventually be used against Trae.

The police interview with Myleka Avery continues — and by the end of it, her account of the night Carl Green Jr. was murdered has changed significantly.
In Part 4 of 52 Years in Just 2 Hours, Myleka now tells investigators that the shooter had actually been inside her home, firing from the kitchen towards the outside. But despite placing the shooter inside the apartment, she continues to maintain that she doesn't know who he was.
As the interview continues, another significant admission emerges. Myleka tells police she had hidden a second bullet casing — meaning she had now admitted to concealing two pieces of potential evidence connected to the shooting.
With Myleka's account having shifted during questioning, investigators return to the interview room with the first witness, Mikelle Brown, as they continue building the case that would ultimately see 16-year-old Traveontaye Berry convicted of murder and sentenced to 52 years in prison.
Trae maintains that he did not kill Carl Green Jr.

As police investigated the murder of Carl Green Jr., they interviewed Myleka Avery, one of the women inside the Freeport apartment that 16-year-old Traveontaye Berry ran from shortly before his arrest.
In Part 3 of 52 Years in Just 2 Hours, we hear Myleka's police interview and her account of what happened inside the apartment that night.
Like her flatmate Mikelle Brown, Myleka's account evolves as the interview progresses. Investigators question her about who had been inside the apartment, what she had seen and what happened in the chaotic moments surrounding the shooting.
But as the questioning continues, the interview takes an important turn. Myleka eventually admits that she had concealed evidence connected to the case.
We hear that admission in her own words and examine what it meant for the investigation that would ultimately lead to Traveontaye Berry being convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 52 years in prison.

After 16-year-old Traveontaye Berry was arrested for the murder of Carl Green Jr. in Freeport, Illinois, police began interviewing people who were inside a nearby home on the night of the shooting. One of those witnesses was Mikelle Brown.
In Part 2 of 52 Years in Just 2 Hours, we hear Mikelle's police interview and examine what she told investigators in the hours after the murder.
During the interview, Mikelle says she believes multiple people had run through the house that night — an account that officers question and ultimately appear to dismiss as they try to establish who was there and what happened.
We also hear Mikelle say she doesn't know Trae, something Trae disputes. He says he knew both of the girls who were inside the house that night.
As the investigation into Carl Green Jr.'s murder begins to take shape, we hear the evidence as police heard it and start examining the accounts that would become important in the case against Traveontaye Berry.

Traveontaye Berry was just 16 years old when he was arrested for the murder of Carl Green Jr. in Freeport, Illinois. Trae says he did not commit the crime. He would later be convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 52 years in prison.
But before the arrest, the trial and the decades-long prison sentence, Trae was a kid being raised by his mother and grandmother who dreamed of one day playing professional football.
In Part 1 of 52 Years in Just 2 Hours, Trae takes Jack back through his childhood — the people who raised him, the influence of his older cousins, hanging around the wrong crowd and the trouble that eventually saw him spend time in juvenile detention.
He talks about his dreams of playing football and why he eventually walked away from the sport, before taking us through the events of the night that would change the course of his life forever.
By the end of that night, Carl Green Jr. had been shot and killed and 16-year-old Traveontaye Berry was under arrest for his murder.
Trae has maintained that he was not the person who killed Carl Green Jr.

Chris's story went viral during COVID after a friend uploaded it online. The producers of the hit daytime TV show Dr Phil saw his story and had him on the show to talk to the doctor.

Today I catch up with a man who I'm asked about regularly. David Talley was handed a sentence fit for a murderer yet no one in his case died, no one was even harmed yet he was condemned to die behind bars.
David has spent years fighting to get a resentencing hearing in his case without any luck. At the end of the day when it comes to the 'Justice System' it's all about money. If you want help it doesn't come cheap and so far David hasn't had enough money to get the help he needs. Recently I got word that a relative of David's who came into some inheritance had come forward and said they wanted to use some of that to help him in his situation. So now David has money and an attorney who believes he can get David back in front of a judge.

In the summer of 2003, in the small Virginia town of Craigsville, an 18 year old boy shot and killed the man the town knew as a former rescue squad captain and a pillar of the community. Christopher Bennett never denied it. He confessed, took a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, and was handed three consecutive life sentences totalling 1,800 years.
But behind that front door, Chris and his siblings say, was a man the town never saw. Years of abuse. Children told to pray for help that never came. And a report of what was happening to his little sisters, made just one day before the shooting.
Over this series, Jack chats with Chris from inside Buckingham Correctional Center about his childhood, that night, the sentence designed to outlive him, and a family still fighting to bring him home.

Christopher Bennett is serving three consecutive life sentences totalling 1,800 years for killing his stepfather, Vincent McDorman. More than two decades later, Chris answers a confronting question: if he could go back and stop himself from committing the crime, would he?
In the final part of No One Was Coming, Jack speaks with Chris from inside Buckingham Correctional Center about the life he has lived since entering prison as a teenager and how he views the decisions he made in July 2003 today.
Chris reflects on his sentence, his family, the years he has spent behind bars and whether he has regrets about what happened that night.
And when asked whether, knowing everything he knows now, he would stop his 18-year-old self from killing Vincent McDorman, Chris gives an answer that brings his story full circle.
This is the final part of No One Was Coming: The Christopher Bennett Story.

Christopher Bennett says his own defence lawyers weren't planning to present a defence after he was charged with killing his stepfather, Vincent McDorman. Facing the possibility of the death penalty, Chris was instead being pushed towards a plea agreement.
In Part 6 of No One Was Coming, Chris describes what he says was happening behind the scenes as his case moved towards court and why he came to believe that going to trial was never really an option.
He recalls his defence team's approach to the case, what was said in court, and the pressure he faced as an 18-year-old deciding whether to risk the death penalty or accept a deal that would ensure he spent the rest of his life in prison.
Christopher ultimately accepted the plea agreement and received three consecutive life sentences — a sentence totalling 1,800 years.
This is Part 6 of No One Was Coming: The Christopher Bennett Story.

Christopher Bennett was facing the death penalty for killing his stepfather, Vincent McDorman. Now represented by court-appointed lawyers, Chris says the 18-year-old was confronted with two possible outcomes: spend the rest of his life in prison or risk being sentenced to death.
In Part 5 of No One Was Coming, the focus turns to Christopher's defence and the legal strategy being developed as his case moved towards court.
Chris describes his relationship with his attorneys, what they told him about the case against him, and the enormous pressure of making decisions that would determine whether he lived or died.
The path being laid out would ultimately lead Chris towards a plea agreement — and a sentence of three consecutive life terms totalling 1,800 years.

After shooting and killing his stepfather, Vincent McDorman, 18-year-old Christopher Bennett was questioned by police in Virginia and confessed to the killing. In Part 4, we hear how the police interrogation unfolded and what Chris told investigators.
With Vincent McDorman dead and Chris now in police custody, attention turned from what happened inside the family home to the criminal investigation and the case being built against him.
Chris takes Jack through his memories of the police interrogation, his confession and the decisions he made in the immediate aftermath of the shooting — decisions that would ultimately lead towards a plea deal and three consecutive life sentences totalling 1,800 years.
This is Part 4 of No One Was Coming: The Christopher Bennett Story.

In July 2003, 18-year-old Christopher Bennett shot and killed his stepfather, Vincent McDorman, in Craigsville, Virginia. In Part 3, Chris describes in his own words what happened inside the house and the events that led to the shooting.
Chris says he had become increasingly concerned about what was happening to his younger sisters inside the family home. After years of alleged abuse and failed attempts to get help, events reached a breaking point.
In this episode, Chris takes Jack through that night — what he says he discovered, the confrontation that followed, and the moment he picked up a rifle and shot Vincent McDorman.
This is Part 3 of No One Was Coming: The Christopher Bennett Story.

Christopher Bennett and his siblings say they endured years of abuse inside their Virginia family home at the hands of their stepfather, Vincent McDorman. Chris says what was happening to his younger sister would ultimately lead to the events of July 2003.
In Part 2 of No One Was Coming, Chris takes us inside his childhood and describes the man he says existed behind closed doors — very different from the former rescue squad captain and pillar of the community known around Craigsville.
Chris talks about the abuse he and his siblings allege they suffered, the attempts to get help, and the events that were building towards the night he would eventually shoot and kill his stepfather.
This is Part 2 of the Christopher Bennett story.

In the summer of 2003, in the small Virginia town of Craigsville, 18-year-old Christopher Bennett shot and killed his stepfather, Vincent McDorman. Christopher never denied killing him. He confessed, took a plea deal to avoid the death penalty, and was handed three consecutive life sentences totalling 1,800 years.
But behind that front door, Chris and his siblings say, was a man the town never saw. Years of abuse. Children told to pray for help that never came. And a report of what was happening to his little sisters, made just one day before the shooting.
Over this series, Jack chats with Chris from inside Buckingham Correctional Center about his childhood, that night, the sentence designed to outlive him, and a family still fighting to bring him home.
