    I Was Framed for Murder at 14 — Then Spent 17 Years in Prison | John Bunn

    John Bunn grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and at just 14 years old was arrested for a murder he did not commit. His case was handled by NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella, whose investigative practices would later come under intense scrutiny in numerous wrongful-conviction cases. Despite Bunn and his 17-year-old co-defendant not matching the description of the shooters, both teenagers were convicted in 1992, and John was sentenced to 7 years to life. Behind bars, he taught himself to read, earned his GED at 17, and ultimately spent years fighting to prove his innocence. After being paroled in 2006, that fight continued for another 12 years until his conviction was vacated and all charges were dismissed in 2018. In 2020, New York City settled his wrongful-conviction lawsuit for $5.9 million. _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #cashapppod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

    I Spent 23 Years in the Secret Service — Here's What It Was Really Like | John Constantine

    John Constantine spent 23 years in the United States Secret Service, including 15 years on the elite Counter Assault Team protecting four U.S. presidents and carrying out high-stakes protective operations in nearly 90 countries. He rose through leadership roles overseeing CAT operations, the Joint Operations Center, and the Dignitary Protective Division before retiring in 2025. Now, as the author of Hallways and Stairwells, John opens up about the side of the Secret Service most people never see — the pressure, ego, mental health struggles, loss of identity, transition back to normal life, and what redemption looks like after more than two decades protecting others. _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: Go to https://drinkag1.com/lockedin.com and for a limited time, get a free Immune Support Bundle, including a bottle of Omega-3 fish oil and a bottle of Vitamin D3K2, with your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro.

    I Robbed Banks for 10 Years — Then Spent 22 in Federal Prison | Larry Barnhill

    Larry Barnhill went from track star, college graduate, and event promotion executive working around famous athletes and celebrities to becoming part of Atlanta's Morning Glory Boys — a highly organized crew that carried out bank robberies for nearly a decade.

    I Was a DEA Undercover Cop — Then Got 11 Years in Prison for Working With the Cartel | Javier Guzman

    Javier Guzman became a Tampa police officer at a young age and quickly rose through the ranks into vice and undercover work before earning a spot on a DEA task force. He went from chasing drug dealers and running dangerous undercover operations to crossing a line that would completely change his life — working with the cartel and helping launder money. After someone flipped, the feds closed in, Javier was arrested, pled guilty, and was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. Now, he tells the full story of going from cop to DEA undercover officer to federal inmate, what really happened behind the scenes, how he survived prison as a former police officer, and how he rebuilt his life after getting out. _____________________________________________ Thank you to AG1 & HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this episode: AG1: Go to https://drinkag1.com/lockedin.com and for a limited time, get a free Immune Support Bundle, including a bottle of Omega-3 fish oil and a bottle of Vitamin D3K2, with your first subscription order of AG1 Next Gen or AG1 Pro. _____________________________________________ Hungryroot: Explore my digital cookbook on Hungryroot today and find recipes that are right for you.
