WEBVTT - Season 2 Trailer 

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Dear Governor Newsom, Dear Mr Governor Newson, this is an

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>open letter to Governor Gavin Newsom. It would be a

0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.799
<v Speaker 1>bold move to exoner h. Jarvis Masters. Last season, Dear

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Governor of the podcast followed Jarvis Master's ongoing saga as

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>he and his legal team winded through the habeas corpus

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>oral arguments with the California Supreme Court. I'm not guilty

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 1>of the climate put me here on death roll for

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the last thirty years. Despite considerable new evidence that bolster

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis's claims of innocence, the state's highest court reconfirmed its

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>want and its appetite to execute another African American citizen.

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>When I heard about the decision, my immediate reaction was

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I was crushed to the bowld. I'm your host, Corny Cole,

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and this season on Dear Governor will head back to

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the courts. Jarvis has now managed to secure the pro

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>bono representation at the federal level from the prestigious international

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>law firm Kirkland and Ellis. So the next step, after

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>one goes through the state system of the direct appeal

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and then behaviors, is we give a defendant capital or

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>otherwise the right to go into federal court and to

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>show that the state court was unreasonable in rejecting his

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>or her constitutional claims. In addition to reporting on the

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>post conviction proceedings, we will be joined by an array

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of the fascinating characters who inhabit Jarvis's inner circle from

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>the outside of the prison confines the chaplain who worked

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>with Jarvis to establish Buddhist services on the row. What

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>I found on death Row is that it's the razor's edge.

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I permanence. Life and death happened very regularly on death Row.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>The private investigator who introduced Jarvis to Buddhism thirty years ago.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.559
<v Speaker 1>A prison is no place to meditate, and there's also

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>no place to open yourself up to your inner self,

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, to start to feel your emotions. You can't

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>afford it. This federal appeals process will determine if Jarvis

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>will ever taste freedom again. If Mr Masters is put

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>to death at the direction of you by the state,

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that is something you cannot call back any more than

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>any of us can call back Sergeant birds Field, which

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.239
<v Speaker 1>everyone in this room I know would wish so fervently

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.399
