One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Today is a first for OMR as I sit down with Mark Newell.. Mark is the brother of John Newell the former husband of Karen Newell who is currently incarcerated for her husbands murder..

Since I began this podcast back in September of 2022 I had always stated that this is about giving incarcerated men and women the opportunity to share their stories, their side of what happened during the events which lead to their incarceration.

I have been asked many times in the past what about the victims? and my answer has always been the same, I am not out actively searching for them or contacting the, this is for a multitude of reasons, the biggest one being that, having been through a traumatic event of potentially loosing a loved one or being involved in some form of crime is an undoubtably painful and life changing experience that in most cases will live with them forever. Having some random podcaster from Australia calling you to, not only remind you of it but also ask if you'd like to relive that experience is not something I want to do. If people involved in the cases we discuss hear about or see the show they can choose to ignore it.

However I've always been of the mindset that should someone involved in a case we discuss reach out to me I would very much welcome that and that is exactly what happened a few weeks ago.

Time is running out for Marcellus Williams, who faces execution in just a few days despite serious doubts about his guilt. DNA evidence that could exonerate him has been ignored, and we need your help to bring attention to his case.

Welcome back to One Minute Remaining.

Today is part fifth and final part of my chat with Kimberly Boone where I ask Kim about some evidence I was initially unaware of. Plus we discuss what's next for Kim and what a life behind bars looks like for her.

Kim was, as she puts it, a 'normal suburban mum' raising two boys and married to a man she says was her best friend, a man she never argued with. A series of events would lead to the eventual arrest of Kim for pre meditated attempted murder, after a shooting at her home in the early hours one morning, Kim says she accidently shot her husband thinking he was an intruder.

After supplying police with a statement she was instantly arrested and charged with his attempted murder. While in jail awaiting her trial she would be charged with another count of pre meditated attempted murder against her husband and arson for a house fire that occurred four months prior to the shooting.

Kim has always maintained she is innocent of these crimes and has been fighting for 14 years to clear her name. As always I'm not here to try and prove her innocent or guilty, just give her the opportunity to tell her story, a story I'm sure you will agree is quite incredible.

Today is part 2 of my chat with the man they call the Alaskan Avenger.

Jason Vukovich, also known as the "Alaskan Avenger," was a victim of physical and sexual abuse. He endured a childhood of beatings and rape at the hands of the man who was supposed to be his protector, his stepfather, Larry Lee Fulton. Fulton married Jason's mother and adopted him at the tender age of four.

The childhood abuse led Jason down a dark path to becoming the hammer-wielding "Alaskan Avenger" on the hunt for pedophiles. He is now serving 23 years at the Spring Creek Correctional Center for assaulting three pedophiles.

Over the next few episodes Jason talks me through his incredible story.

Henry Keogh is an Australian convicted of murder. He grew up in Adelaide, South Australia and was educated at Saint Ignatius College and briefly at the School of Dentistry at The University of Adelaide.

In 1995 he was sentenced to 26 years in prison for the 1994 murder of his 29-year-old fiancée, Anna-Jane Cheney, then head of Professional Conduct at the Law Society of South Australia: it was alleged that Keogh had planned the murder for over two years.

Mr Keogh and his family have always maintained his innocence, and raised their doubts regarding some of the evidence upon which the conviction was based. Mainly that of South Australia's former Chief Forensic Pathologist Dr Manock.

Henry admitted to signing five life insurance policies on behalf of Cheney. Whereas the prosecution alleged the combined value of $1.15 million AUD was motive for the murder, Henry says that these were submitted to prevent insurance agencies he had established from lapsing, and that the amount eligible to claim was closer to $400,000. The prosecution would conceded during the trial that Anna-Jane was aware of at least two of these policies.

After over 20 years Henry would subsequently be released from prison on appeal, the prosecution would look to take him back to court on the charges but it would never eventuate.

This is the story of Henry Keogh as told by him.
