Speaker 1: August twenty six, twenty twelve, started off as a relatively
Speaker 1: normal night. Terrell Barrows was at Monet Lounge in Providence,
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, with Stephan Boden and some other friends, and
Speaker 1: disagreement ensued between Stephan and two other clubgoers, Rokeem Henley
Speaker 1: and Jamal Cruz, but the tension didn't boil over until
Speaker 1: later in the parking lot. See Stephan Boden wanted his
Speaker 1: cigarettes and he would ask Torell for his car keys
Speaker 1: because that's where they were, so he left ahead of
Speaker 1: the group, and as fate would have it, who was
Speaker 1: parked right next to Terrell, but Jamal and Rokeem, who
Speaker 1: were now ominously approaching. Terrell and the rest of his
Speaker 1: friends though, were just arriving on the scene and trying
Speaker 1: to avoid the drama, so Terrell made for the driver's
Speaker 1: side door, and then gunshots. Terrell quickly ducked into the
Speaker 1: driver's seat and Stephan bod jumped into the passenger side.
Speaker 1: Seconds later, the cops were at the car and they
Speaker 1: saw Stephan trying to hide the gun. Stephen confessed on
Speaker 1: the spot to the shooting as both men were cuffed.
Speaker 1: An intoxicated and mortally wounded. Jamal Cruz had put his
Speaker 1: head down when shown Terrell, a far cry from an identification,
Speaker 1: but that didn't stop a detective from testifying a trial
Speaker 1: about a quote unquote dying declaration. The state even ignored
Speaker 1: Stefan Boden's immediate and uncoerced confession, forging blindly ahead to
Speaker 1: ultimately send Torell to prison, where he remains to this day,
Speaker 1: serving two consecutive life sentences plus thirty years. This is
Speaker 1: Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flamm. Welcome back to Wrongful Conviction
Speaker 1: with Jason Flamm. Today we're going to be discussing the
Speaker 1: really troubling case of Terrell Barrows, who was awfully convicted
Speaker 1: of a shooting in which one person was killed and
Speaker 1: another was badly injured. And with us today we have
Speaker 1: a student at Georgetown who's been doing incredible work investigating
Speaker 1: his case under the leadership of my friend, Professor Mark Howard.
Speaker 1: So Nurgena Hendy, Welcome.
Speaker 2: To the show, Thank you, Jason.
Speaker 1: The Georgetown class that Nurgenna is a student in is
Speaker 1: taught by Mark Howard and a name that you'll recognize
Speaker 1: from being on our show more than once. Marty Tankleff,
Speaker 1: and of course, this class was directly responsible for the
Speaker 1: exoneration of Valentino Dixon. If you haven't heard his episode,
Speaker 1: please go back and listen to it. It's extraordinary. So
Speaker 1: we hope to be hearing from Terrell Barrows very soon.
Speaker 1: Of course, in this COVID time that we're in, it's
Speaker 1: very hard to get to the phones in prison, but
Speaker 1: we will be discussing his case and hopefully hearing from
Speaker 1: him as the podcast progresses. So let's go back to
Speaker 1: two twelve.
Speaker 3: Back in August of twenty twelve, Terrell Barrows and a
Speaker 3: group of friends headed out to Monet Lounge in Providence,
Speaker 3: Rhode Island. While they're in the club, there's some sort
Speaker 3: of verbal altercation between Terrell's group and a couple of
Speaker 3: members of another group, including the two that got shot.
Speaker 3: One was Rokim Henley, who got shot in the leg
Speaker 3: and who I spoke with a couple of times over
Speaker 3: the past few months, and then Jamal Cruz who ended
Speaker 3: up dying that night. But Terrell wasn't a part of
Speaker 3: that verbal altercation. It was Stephanboden who was and so
Speaker 3: a name was called someone's hat got tapped off their
Speaker 3: head and then no one really stays.
Speaker 2: There's not a physical altercation at all.
Speaker 3: Later on in the night, Stefan Boden asked Terrell, he goes, hey,
Speaker 3: let me get the tack to go get your car keys.
Speaker 3: So as he's heading over, there is another car that
Speaker 3: is parked bumper to bumper with Terrell's car, and it
Speaker 3: just happens to be the car of Jamal Cruz. Stephen
Speaker 3: thought that Jamal and Roekeim were coming to cause problems
Speaker 3: when reality they were just walking to their car. Stefan
Speaker 3: grabs the gun and you know, witnesses say he told
Speaker 3: them don't come any closer. And at this point Terrell
Speaker 3: starts heading over to his car with his group of friends.
Speaker 3: Terrell is about ten to fifteen feet away from Steffan
Speaker 3: Bowden and Jamal Cruz, which is where all eyewitnesses placed
Speaker 3: him as well, and he's actually walking to get to
Speaker 3: the other side of his car to hop in the
Speaker 3: driver's seat because he knows that there's trouble about to
Speaker 3: happen he doesn't want to be a part of it.
Speaker 3: He hears two gun shots, he jumps into the driver's
Speaker 3: seat and almost immediately Stephan jumps into the passenger seat,
Speaker 3: and the cops are there to arrest them.
Speaker 1: And there's more to this too, because when Stephan jumped
Speaker 1: into the passenger seat, he had it sort of a
Speaker 1: moment of self awareness right where he started apologizing to
Speaker 1: Terrell for sort of involving him in this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: At this point, the arresting officers are on either side
Speaker 3: and the gun is still with Stephan Bowden. He is
Speaker 3: caught concealing the gun in the passenger side door, and
Speaker 3: Stepan actually confesses on the scene.
Speaker 2: He said it's me. It's all me, It's all mine.
Speaker 3: Yet they are both arrested, taken to a paddy wagon,
Speaker 3: and then there's a show up that is done. Now
Speaker 3: they spoke with a couple of jury members who told
Speaker 3: me this is what caused us to believe Terrell is guilty.
Speaker 3: So in the show ups, they bring Stephan over to Jamal,
Speaker 3: who was in critical condition on the floor, extremely intoxicated,
Speaker 3: and they say, is this the man that shot you?
Speaker 3: And Jamal looks away. Apparently when they bring over Terrell,
Speaker 3: Detective Matrasia says, Jamal.
Speaker 1: Nods, that's what they say he did. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: if he nodded or not. He was in no position
Speaker 1: to make any identification of anyone, and we still don't
Speaker 1: know if he did. It's not like he stuck his
Speaker 1: finger out and went, yeah, that's the guy who shot me,
Speaker 1: and he's out right, that's not what happened.
Speaker 3: They actually did not even do a show up identification
Speaker 3: with the other guy, Rokeim Henley, who was shot and
Speaker 3: he was not in critical condition.
Speaker 1: They also didn't bother to swab the hands of either
Speaker 1: Terrell or Stephan, right, that would be so critical to
Speaker 1: figuring out who did or did not commit this horrible crime.
Speaker 3: And Jason, I think it was clear to arresting officers
Speaker 3: this had to have been Stephan. It was in his hand,
Speaker 3: he confesses. That's probably why they didn't even swab their hands.
Speaker 3: And then you know, somehow the story gets twisted and
Speaker 3: it's now in Terrell because of what they call a
Speaker 3: dying declaration.
Speaker 2: Terrell Owis says, he goes, there were two.
Speaker 3: Lives lost that night, Mine and Jamal Cruz, and I
Speaker 3: feel bad because Jamal Cruz didn't get justice.
Speaker 4: This is a free call from Roe and inmate at
Speaker 4: Maximum Security facility. Thank you for using securists. You may
Speaker 4: start the conversation. Now.
Speaker 1: I love Heyterrell, thanks for calling in. I know we
Speaker 1: have limited time, so let would get right to it.
Speaker 1: Can you take us back to the awful night of
Speaker 1: this crime and give us your perspective having lived through
Speaker 1: this night, mayor yourself.
Speaker 5: Well, back at that night, the two dudes approached. You know,
Speaker 5: we're talking to Stephan about something. The problem wasn't with me,
Speaker 5: so you went outside in the front of the club.
Speaker 5: Stephanim one of my keys to go get it a cigarettes.
Speaker 5: So when we go to the PA, the two dudes approaching.
Speaker 5: So I see them two dudes. Oh my god, man,
Speaker 5: here we go. So I turned around to go with
Speaker 5: jobside and the car, and I hear shots. So I
Speaker 5: just run into my car, just got run to my pa.
Speaker 5: Pop is like he had the gun on me, and
Speaker 5: put your hands on stading wheel. I put my hands
Speaker 5: on stading whil and he keeps on saying it but
Speaker 5: he's talking to stuff, and so he puts his hands
Speaker 5: on the standing wheel and he's like, yo, I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I love you, I love you. The police
Speaker 5: officers hot and up and he's like, oh yo, the passions.
Speaker 5: He's got the gun. So as soon as he opens
Speaker 5: up the door, Stephan says, it's me. It's all me,
Speaker 5: It's all mine. He's like it's shoot. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's me. So when he took him out, he's already
Speaker 5: han't come from the other cop that had the gun
Speaker 5: on us. He comes, he flashed the cuffs on the wrist,
Speaker 5: my wrists and slings me on the floor. Brings it
Speaker 5: back to the paddy wagon. There's a guy that was shot.
Speaker 5: I didn't know no one was shot. I could see
Speaker 5: blood every this dude's hurt. So this dude shot in
Speaker 5: the chest, and this dude's like doing a show up
Speaker 5: with this guy shot in the chest, asking him this
Speaker 5: shin the sin the shim. The guy just looked at
Speaker 5: me and puts his head down. He ain't saying nothing.
Speaker 5: He didn't do nothing. He ain't saying nothing. He just
Speaker 5: put his head down. So then they had put me
Speaker 5: back into paddy wagon. They bring me back to the station.
Speaker 5: When they bring back to the station, you know they
Speaker 5: do the mob shot the fingerprints. Whether they got me
Speaker 5: to a room with two detectives. I asked for my
Speaker 5: lawyer to touch his Angelo Levon was the lead to
Speaker 5: He was the one that questioned me the first time
Speaker 5: in the first night. So he's like, oh, you know
Speaker 5: he wants cigarette. You want a cigarett.
Speaker 1: I'm like no.
Speaker 5: He's like, you want water. I'm like no, and he
Speaker 5: catched on, chya talk to me, and I'm like, I
Speaker 5: want my lawyer. I want my lawyer. I want my lawyer.
Speaker 5: So he leaves the room and he comes back and
Speaker 5: he brings back to holding himself. So it's one of
Speaker 5: the times I'm like, yo, I'm banging on the door.
Speaker 5: Cop comes. He's like, what you're banging on. I'm like,
Speaker 5: I want my phone call. He's like phone call. I'm
Speaker 5: like yeah, He's like, are you getting plenty phone calls?
Speaker 5: Were aure going. I'm like, where am I going. He's like,
Speaker 5: you're gonna chill? What the hell? They bring me in
Speaker 5: the bus. They chanceport me there and I find out
Speaker 5: Monday the raiment that I'm getting charged with murder. I
Speaker 5: go up into the court room, had to split up.
Speaker 5: Stephan was on the west sides on the right side.
Speaker 5: So they reach Steff in his charges seventh bolroom possessing
Speaker 5: a firearm and that was that and he goes with
Speaker 5: Terrell Barrows first degree heard them, Paul showing everything I love.
Speaker 5: I did not do it. He admitted it on the
Speaker 5: scene for the p that's the power. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it either, because it should have been
Speaker 1: over right then and there, throw the phone, Okay.
Speaker 4: The caller has hung up.
Speaker 1: I have never and may never again hear of a
Speaker 1: case in which the actual shooter skates on the charges
Speaker 1: after confessing on the scene. Right, I mean, at that point,
Speaker 1: this should be a very short podcast. That should be
Speaker 1: the end of it. I mean, this would be funny,
Speaker 1: except it's so freaking serious, right, And this is this
Speaker 1: is the system that we all rely on day in
Speaker 1: and day out. I'd like to believe that we have
Speaker 1: people who are doing the job that they're paid to do.
Speaker 1: But in this case, it's absolutely true. It failed society,
Speaker 1: it failed the victim, It failed to rell, and that's
Speaker 1: what we're here to talk about. And then it gets
Speaker 1: weirder because then you start with the eyewitness. The only
Speaker 1: eyewitness is a guy named Gregory's or Obedient, and he
Speaker 1: initially claims he didn't see the shooting, and then changed
Speaker 1: his testimony six days before the trial to say he
Speaker 1: saw Torell do it. We have a document signed by
Speaker 1: the assist Attorney General promising not to charge him for
Speaker 1: perjury should he alter his testimony. That's maybe just a
Speaker 1: little bit of a red flag there. Now get this, Okay,
Speaker 1: this Gregory's or obedient guy had, well, let's just call
Speaker 1: it an extensive criminal history. But that might not even
Speaker 1: be doing a justice. So his rap sheet went back
Speaker 1: thirty years. It included convictions not arrest, convictions for living
Speaker 1: off the earnings of a prostitute, grand larson, d ui
Speaker 1: causing death, cocaine possession, burglary, theft, escape, and that's just
Speaker 1: the beginning. So do we think that after doing all
Speaker 1: these other things he's done, he might be willing to
Speaker 1: lie in exchange for a deal. I would say that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good likelihood. And then let's get to Detective
Speaker 1: Charles Mtrasia. Do you want to take that one, Jenna.
Speaker 3: He was actually the one who claims that he saw
Speaker 3: Jamal cruz Nod. When they brought over Terrell, I asked herra,
Speaker 3: I said, yo, were you watching Jamal? He said yeah,
Speaker 3: I was watching him. I said, did he not? He
Speaker 3: said no, he didn't do anything. So whether he did
Speaker 3: or did not is another story. But again, Jamal Cruz
Speaker 3: was under the influence of alcohol. He had a BAC
Speaker 3: of point one six', two which seems like a lot
Speaker 3: until we look At, rokin who had to.
Speaker 2: Actually HIRE bac as.
Speaker 3: Well and then Both Stephan andterrell were wearing WHITE t
Speaker 3: shirts and darker. Pants out of the group That terrell was,
Speaker 3: in he was not the only one with two long black.
Speaker 2: Braids he just. Wasn't it was a. Style if you
Speaker 2: look at the pictures.
Speaker 3: Of his friend, group he's not the only one with
Speaker 3: two long black. Braids and so out of a group
Speaker 3: of people wearing white, shirts dark, pants two long black,
Speaker 3: braids you're dying on the. Floor And Detective matrasia, says,
Speaker 3: yeah he nodded when we brought Over. TERRELL i, mean
Speaker 3: how unreal could that? Be and so now we're moving
Speaker 3: INTO gsr.
Speaker 1: TESTING gsr stands for gunshot, residue.
Speaker 3: Yep and there are three particles of gunshot residue that
Speaker 3: they test for when they're looking at. Clothing so When
Speaker 3: Stephan andterrell were initially, Arrested stefan was pulled out of
Speaker 3: the car and he was slammed against the side of the.
Speaker 3: Car When terrell was, arrested he was pulled out of
Speaker 3: the car and slammed to the, ground so he actually had.
Speaker 2: Some dirt on his white shirt in a specific.
Speaker 3: Area what they initially test was the chest area of
Speaker 3: Both terrell and Of stephan because the theory is if
Speaker 3: someone is a shooter and they hold the gun right,
Speaker 3: ahead that the gunshot residue will recoil and hit them
Speaker 3: in the chest. Area so they talk about stuff and they, go,
Speaker 3: well we found lead on stuffan and they, say, well
Speaker 3: you also found lead On. Terrell So terrell whispers to
Speaker 3: his attorney ask if they happened to find.
Speaker 2: The lead where my shirt was.
Speaker 3: Dirty they said, Yes so it makes sense that that's
Speaker 3: the only place on his clothing where they found. Lead
Speaker 3: so this is all the information they had in terms
Speaker 3: OF gsr at, trial but there is MORE gsr evidence to,
Speaker 3: come which is part of what we are motioning for
Speaker 3: with the new hearing coming.
Speaker 1: Up, well we're on, initials, Right we'll go FROM gsr TO,
Speaker 1: dna and THE dna report Excluded terrell from having held the.
Speaker 1: Gun so let's touch for a second on THE dna
Speaker 1: expert for the, state who we know was, WELL i,
Speaker 1: mean most, unfortunately quote unquote experts are pro. Prosecution in,
Speaker 1: fact the whole system is pro. Prosecution over eighty percent
Speaker 1: of judges are former. Prosecutors so throughout the process there's
Speaker 1: a tilt towards, prosecution and the experts that you're seeing
Speaker 1: may not be objective at. All and this is one
Speaker 1: of those cases WHERE i think that there's a strong
Speaker 1: argument to that. Effect, So, ujena can you talk about?
Speaker 3: That, Yeah Kara lupino gave extremely pro prosecution. Testimony in
Speaker 3: the way that she had presented. It the attorney would
Speaker 3: ask a question the, prosecutor she would respond and say,
Speaker 3: yes And torell was. Included and then you all of
Speaker 3: a sudden get to the very very very end and
Speaker 3: they really quickly sneak in a couple of lines Of
Speaker 3: terrell was excluded And Stefan BODEN'S dna could not be.
Speaker 3: Excluded so When i'm talking to the, juror she, GOES
Speaker 3: i don't even really remember him being. Excluded it was so.
Speaker 3: Confusing there were a lot of numbers thrown. Out terrell
Speaker 3: seemed to be included in almost every mixture that they're talking.
Speaker 3: About it's absolutely, insane and IF i was in the,
Speaker 3: JURY i would have thought the same.
Speaker 1: Thing the state's witness essentially muddy the waters of what
Speaker 1: was a pretty cut and DRY dna report that Excluded
Speaker 1: torell from having ever held the. Gun but then There's Rokeem,
Speaker 1: henley the other guy who got shot that. Night his,
Speaker 1: testimony along with the ballistic evidence known at the time of,
Speaker 1: trial make it an actual impossibility That terrell could have
Speaker 1: been the.
Speaker 3: Shooter he does, testify and WHEN i asked him the
Speaker 3: same question WHEN i met with, him he, said the
Speaker 3: only person standing close To Jamal cruz Was Stefan.
Speaker 2: Bodden SO i, said here's the.
Speaker 3: Discrepancy did you see who shot?
Speaker 2: You he said.
Speaker 3: NO i, said, okay, well ballistic evidence proves that the
Speaker 3: shot was made from near contact to eighteen inches, away
Speaker 3: and you are telling me that the only person standing
Speaker 3: near contact to eighteen inches away From Jamal cruz Was Stefan.
Speaker 3: Bodden he, said, yes BUT i didn't see him shoot the.
Speaker 3: Gun it's kind of a confusing. Testimony you don't see
Speaker 3: stuff and do, it but you also claim you did
Speaker 3: not See terrell. Outside you don't know Who terrell. Is
Speaker 3: the only time he Saw terrell was at. Trial so
Speaker 3: if rokeeem had never Seen terrell and the shot was
Speaker 3: made from near contact to eighteen inches, away it is
Speaker 3: impossible That terrell was the.
Speaker 1: Shooter, nevertheless the incentivized, witness the MUDDY dna, report and
Speaker 1: of course the testimony Of Detective matrasia with too much to,
Speaker 1: overcome And terrell was sentenced to two life sentences plus thirty.
Speaker 4: Years this is a free call from true an inmate
Speaker 4: at maximum security. Facility thank you for using. Securists you
Speaker 4: may start the conversation, Now.
Speaker 1: Okay the investigators in your, Case, terrell it Was Detective
Speaker 1: matrasha And Detective, angelo, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, angelo though he was the leader of the, Case
Speaker 5: matasha was the one that lied About, jamal saying it
Speaker 5: was me at the show. Up so WHAT i was
Speaker 5: told was this from a lot of, lawyers and they
Speaker 5: all gave me the same. Answer you're in this. Situation
Speaker 5: they tend this on. You it's because you asked for your.
Speaker 5: LAWYER i asked for my. Way that's not, Right they, said,
Speaker 5: yeah but you didn't tell them what they wanted to,
Speaker 5: hear and they threw it on. You jamal ain't, here
Speaker 5: so you could put any words in that man's mouth
Speaker 5: you want because you can't put him on a stand
Speaker 5: and cross examine. Him so what the cops. Do they
Speaker 5: go on the stand and they, think, no they, know
Speaker 5: they know that the jury look at them as. Superheroes
Speaker 5: the jury don't think that the cops are going to
Speaker 5: go on to stand and, lie and that's what they.
Speaker 5: Did And jamal ain't. Here now this is before this
Speaker 5: even going on With George. Floyd this was in like twenty,
Speaker 5: twelve twenty, thirteen so around that time that climate was,
Speaker 5: like oh, no the police ain't gonna lie on this, Kid.
Speaker 1: Torell you've gone through this insane. Nightmare everything that could
Speaker 1: go wrong has gone wrong so. Far but then comes
Speaker 1: the moment where the jury goes out and they come back.
Speaker 1: In did you think that they were going to find you?
Speaker 1: Innocent tell us about that.
Speaker 5: Moment they bring me down and the elevator to the court.
Speaker 5: Room they can just feel like the tension in the
Speaker 5: courtroom and the jury will come. In their faces are.
Speaker 5: Funny they SAID i was, guilty and then, everybody just my,
Speaker 5: family everybody was just, Like, noah he's. Innocent like they
Speaker 5: just went. Crazy i'm just sitting there like and. Shocked
Speaker 5: i'm in, shocked like everybody's standing. Up i'm the only
Speaker 5: one sitting down and what got me out of the
Speaker 5: chance As i've Seen Detective Angelo leva. Laughing SO i, said,
Speaker 5: yo what do you think this is? Funny they just
Speaker 5: looked at me AND i looked At jamaal's family AND
Speaker 5: i turned around some AND i, SAID i didn't do
Speaker 5: this to your. SON i promise. YOU i promise. YOU
Speaker 5: i did not do this to your. SON i did
Speaker 5: not do. This they didn't get justice for your. Son
Speaker 5: they're lying to you and they're just looking at me
Speaker 5: like in a. Shock everyone's going. Crazy so they're in that.
Speaker 5: Commotion i've seen the prosecutor like hugged the brother like
Speaker 5: like they want a Super, bowl smacking his back like, yeah,
Speaker 5: yeah we got. Him And i'm just looking at him
Speaker 5: like ye're lying into this family like this is a big,
Speaker 5: lie like you just known an innocent kid guilty for
Speaker 5: a time. Again do they just want a big? CONVICTION
Speaker 5: i know they don't know WHY i didn't do, it
Speaker 5: because the, prosecutors you, know when you see bogus, charges
Speaker 5: but you still go forward with it because you want a.
Speaker 5: Conviction they don't care.
Speaker 1: Yet What i'm. Say, yeah they're thinking about their, future their,
Speaker 1: aspirations the way they can be, successful and they know
Speaker 1: that's by having a good conviction rate by in. Large
Speaker 1: but it's like it's some sort of six scoreboard and they're.
Speaker 1: Decent oscar's out. There there are some really good ones,
Speaker 1: Too but the ones that are willing to ignore evidence
Speaker 1: of innocence and prosecute clearly bogus cases like yours just
Speaker 1: to get another notch on their, belt just to move
Speaker 1: up the, ladder Are they're a disgrace and they're actually
Speaker 1: a menace to public.
Speaker 5: Safety they used on that they went off family to
Speaker 5: make this. Family, yeah.
Speaker 1: Like and as if this case couldn't get worse or.
Speaker 1: Weirder Stephan bowden put out a. SONG i guess he
Speaker 1: was trying to rid himself of the guilt of skating
Speaker 1: on the murder rap and allowing his friend to rotten. Prison.
Speaker 2: Right he wrote this song Called letter To.
Speaker 3: Terrel it's really more of a guilt, trip saying things
Speaker 3: like we should have never went out to the club that.
Speaker 3: Night it's painful that you're in that. Cell it's painful
Speaker 3: on my, mother And i'm sorry that you.
Speaker 1: Win that gym's painful on my, Mother BUT i think
Speaker 1: about you every day IN. Nfe how is he? Out
Speaker 1: interrell's in.
Speaker 3: Prison Stefan boden is now. Dead he was shot in
Speaker 3: a car shooting in twenty.
Speaker 1: Seventeen it's too. MUCH i, mean the good news is
Speaker 1: He's the only good news HERE i guess is that
Speaker 1: he's got a fantastic. Team now we've got some. Momentum
Speaker 1: can you talk about that new, evidence talk about his
Speaker 1: new lawyer and what lays.
Speaker 3: Ahead the original theory was if you hold a gun
Speaker 3: straight out in front of, you THE gsr or gun
Speaker 3: shot residue will fly back and hit the chest, area
Speaker 3: AS i mentioned. Before, However Bob, Cando terrell's newer, attorney
Speaker 3: went ahead and looked at the trajectory of the bullets
Speaker 3: and he had a couple of questions about where the
Speaker 3: shot was actually made. From how is it possible That
Speaker 3: rakim didn't see the. Shooter how is it possible that
Speaker 3: If jamal gave a dying, declaration then he gave it
Speaker 3: to the wrong. Person and how is it possible that
Speaker 3: If stefan's the real, shooter we find only lead on.
Speaker 2: Him where are the other particles OF.
Speaker 3: Gsr So Bob kando goes ahead and puts in a
Speaker 3: request for other areas Of boden's clothing to be, analyzed
Speaker 3: including his crotch and belt. Area lo and, behold they
Speaker 3: come back with more particles OF, gsr which ends up
Speaker 3: being huge. News putting together trajectory of the. Bullets putting TOGETHER,
Speaker 3: Gsr Stefan boden actually took the shots.
Speaker 2: From right next to his. Belt he actually did not
Speaker 2: hold the gun straight.
Speaker 3: Ahead so if that were to, happen someone who's extremely
Speaker 3: intoxicated wouldn't be able to see the. Gun and WHEN
Speaker 3: i actually ended up speaking To rakeem, later IF i, said,
Speaker 3: well you, know the new evidence really says that the
Speaker 3: gun was next to him was, sponsor he, goes, oh
Speaker 3: that might explain. It so that might explain Why rokein
Speaker 3: didn't see That stefan shot. Him so that's very. Exciting
Speaker 3: and with this new, evidence with the new affidavit that
Speaker 3: we have, written new eyewitnesses who are coming, forward family
Speaker 3: members Of stephan Bod and who are coming forward and
Speaker 3: SAYING i Know stefan did. It he told me multiple.
Speaker 3: Times we are taking all of this And bob is
Speaker 3: pushing for a hearing In september with emotion for a new,
Speaker 3: trial and we're hoping that we can Get terrell home very.
Speaker 1: Soon and that leads to what happens now and what
Speaker 1: can people?
Speaker 3: DO a mini documentary came out About Terrell. Barrows please
Speaker 3: check it. Out the title of it is on. YouTube
Speaker 3: it's Called making An exonerary twenty twenty dash The story
Speaker 3: Of Terrell. Barrows and then that you'll really see everything
Speaker 3: that we outlined throughout this entire, podcast as well as
