33
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: We begin in California, where a woman who admitted to

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: killing entertainment consultant and social justice advocate Michael Latt has

35
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: sentenced to thirty five years to life in prison. For details,

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: we turned to Sidney Sumner with Crime Online.

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 2: Jamila Elena Michael pleaded guilty last month to first degree

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: murder and first degree burglary in connection with the November attack.

39
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: According to prosecutors and police, Michael had been stalking and

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: threatening film director av Rockwell and targeted Lat because he

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: was a friend of Rockwell. Prosecutors detail that on November

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: twenty seventh, twenty twenty three, Michael knocked on the door

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: of Latt's Los Angeles home, forced her way inside, and

44
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: fatally shot him with a semi automatic handgun. Latt was

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: declared dead at a hospital. Michael Latt was a respected

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: consultant whose company focused on social impact in film and entertainment.

47
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 3: Latt collaborated with prominent directors like Ava Duverney of Selma

48
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: and Ryan Kugler. A Black Panther, a Missouri woman who

49
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: has served forty three years in prison for murder she

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: maintained she did not commit, has been ordered released by

51
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: an appellate court, but, as Crime Online Sidney Sumner tells us,

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: the state's attorney general is fighting to keep the woman

53
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: behind bars.

54
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: Now.

55
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: Sixty four year old Sandra Hem was convicted twice for

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty murder of Patricia Jeski, a library employee

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: from Saint Joseph. However, a judge recently ruled that Hem's

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: attorneys provided clear and convincing evidence of her actual innocence.

59
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: Judge Ryan Horseman ordered her release within thirty days unless

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: prosecutors chose to retry her. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey

61
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: subsequently requested the appellate Court review Horseman's decision. While the

62
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: court agreed to the review, it also instructed Horseman to

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: set bail terms and release Hem. Bailey's office then asked

64
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: for reconsideration, citing insufficient time to argue against her release.

65
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: They also pointed to a twelve year sentence Hem received

66
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: decades ago for prison violence, arguing she should serve that

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: sentence now. Hen's legal team, including the Innocence Project, argues

68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: that keeping her incarcerated would be a draconian outcome. They

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: highlight that she is the longest held wrongly incarcerated woman

70
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: known in the US. Judge Horseman's extensive review revealed numerous

71
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: flaws in Hem's case. Hem was heavily sedated in an

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: ameniable mental state when interrogated at a psychiatric hospital. Evidence

73
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: pointing to another suspect, a discredited officer who died in

74
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, was ignored, and the prosecution was not informed

75
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: of FBI test results that could have cleared her. Hem

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: was arrested weeks after Jeske's body was discovered On November thirteenth,

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty, Jeski was found by her mother, her hands

78
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: tied and a telephone cord and panty hose around her throat.

79
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: Hem had left town hours before Jeski was last seen alive,

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: hitchhiking over one hundred miles to her parents' home. Hem

81
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: initially confessed to the crime while under heavy sedation, leading

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: to a guilty plea to avoid the death penalty. After

83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: her plea was overturned, she was convicted again in a

84
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: one day trial in nineteen eighty five. The prosecutor later

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: admitted that exculpatory evidence, including FBI tests, was never shared

86
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: with the defense.

87
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: This case remains under review as the state Attorney General

88
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 3: continues efforts to keep him in prison despite the court's findings.

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: Thanks job. Jason Hoys twenty seven calls mom Marilyn Stevenson,
