  3. Weaponized Justice: The Case of Joshua Lee Mosher and the System That Failed Him

    11/20/2025

    Weaponized Justice: The Case of Joshua Lee Mosher and the System That Failed Him

    In this special full-length episode, Wickedly Judged unpacks the complete story of Joshua Lee Mosher—a man whose life was shattered by a wrongful conviction fueled by revenge, police tunnel vision, and a justice system obsessed with conviction rates over truth. Host Rebecca guides listeners through the timeline of Josh’s case, revealing how a toxic relationship with his ex, Jackie, spiraled into a calculated plot for revenge. When Jackie vowed to “make him pay for crossing the wrong woman,” the justice system became her weapon. With Detective Tamminga at the helm—an investigator who secured convictions in every sexual assault case he touched—Josh never stood a chance. Instead of seeking truth, the investigation zeroed in on guilt from the start, ignoring alternative leads and motives. Listeners will hear the emotional voices of Amanda (Josh’s sister) and Bethany (his partner and advocate), who share the heartbreak, hope, and relentless fight for justice that have defined this journey. Their advocacy uncovers evidence of a social media revenge plot, exposes the dangers of unchecked police power, and highlights the devastating impact of a system where a 100% conviction rate is rewarded with a promotion to Sheriff. Key Moments The revenge plot: Jackie’s vow and the weaponization of the justice systemDetective Tamminga’s tunnel vision and 100% conviction rateThe legal rollercoaster: trial, conviction, and years of denied appealsAmanda and Bethany’s fight—new evidence and hope for JoshReflections on systemic failure and the urgent need for reformSponsors Special thanks to our sponsors: Veteran Alliance | Yarntherapy4me | Just an Apron | Liberty First Radio And to JP Verse of Versefire Records for our intro/outro music.
