What the Attorney thinks - Saul Contreras p4

One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

We just wrapped up the case of Saul Contreras so as always it's time to sit down with OMR's resident attorney Michael Leonard to get his thoughts on the case.

Saul has spent almost 20 years in prison for a crime he says he did not commit.

The victim, Jazmine Contreras, was just 22 months old when she died on Thanksgiving weekend in 2003. That tragedy was compounded when police immediately developed a theory that Saul had inflicted injuries that caused her death and, through alleged threats and other tactics, coerced what Saul says is a false confession.

Over the next few episodes Saul talks us through what exactly happened that night.

I'd like to thank Jane Lewis and the team from Proclaim Justice for her help in facilitating this interview.
