One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Mashed PumpkinProductions

In 'One Minute Remaining' I speak with inmates serving lengthy prison sentences for a range of different crimes. From arson to robbery, attempted murder and even murder itself and everything in between. I'm not here to try and prove them innocent or guilty, what I am here to do is allow them the chance to tell their stories. We'll look at the case's against them and allow them to tell us their accounts of the events that lead up to their incarceration.

    EPISODE 1

    Unshakable Science - P1

    In 1997, a two-year-old boy collapsed on the floor of his bedroom in Biloxi, Mississippi. His stepmother, Tasha Shelby, called for help. By the time the sun came up, she was the prime suspect. By the time the trial ended, she had a life sentence. Tasha was twenty-two. Twelve days postpartum. Engaged to be married. The only adult in the house the night Bryan collapsed. The case against her rested on a single diagnosis, Shaken Baby Syndrome, delivered by the medical examiner who performed the autopsy. Decades on, that same medical examiner has taken the stand again, under oath, to say he got it wrong. The certainty that once surrounded the diagnosis has been picked apart in courtrooms across the world. Hundreds of people convicted on the same theory have walked free. Tasha has not. Recorded from inside Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, this is her story in her own words. The thump in the night, the newborn daughter taken from her arms,the trial and the expert recantation. What happens when the expert says they got it wrong?

    SEASON 53 TRAILER

    Unshakable Science

    In the 1990s and early 2000s, Shaken Baby Syndrome was considered unshakeable medical fact. When doctors found three specific symptoms—subdural bleeding, retinal hemorrhages, and brain swelling—the diagnosis was automatic: someone had violently shaken a baby to death. Two women's lives were destroyed by this "certainty." Tasha Shelby was 25 years old when she was convicted of murdering her fiancé's two-year-old son. Just two weeks after giving birth by emergency C-section, prosecutors claimed this 4'9" woman had shaken 33-pound Bryan Thompson with the force of a car crash. Her trial lasted two days. Her sentence: life without parole. Marsha Mills was a 55-year-old grandmother caring for neighbourhood children when two-year-old Noah Shoup died in her care. Despite her spotless record and the family's trust, medical testimony sent her to prison for life based on the same three symptoms. Neither woman had any history of violence. Neither had any other evidence against them except the testimony of medical experts who claimed absolute certainty. But that certainty was built on a foundation of sand. From prison, both women tell their stories to host Jack Laurence in this groundbreaking investigation into how flawed science can destroy innocent lives. Through exclusive interviews with Valena E. Beety—professor of law at Arizona State University, deputy director of the Academy for Justice, and Tasha's attorney—we uncover how the medical establishment's false confidence railroaded families through the courts. Professor Keith Findley of the University of Wisconsin Law School, co-founder of the Wisconsin Innocence Project and co-author of the definitive Cambridge University Press book "Shaken Baby Syndrome: Investigating the Abusive Head Trauma Controversy," reveals how modern science has shattered the assumptions that sent these women to prison. The science was wrong. The convictions were wrong. But the women remain behind bars. Across America, 34 people have been exonerated from Shaken Baby Syndrome convictions as courts slowly recognise the diagnosis is unreliable. Yet Tasha and Marsha—despite overwhelming evidence of their innocence—have exhausted their appeals and face dying in prison for crimes that may never have happened. Unshakeable Science exposes how medical arrogance, prosecutorial certainty, and judicial inertia have created a system where admitting error is harder than perpetuating injustice.
