One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Kelly and Doug Nichols and their two daughters are, seemingly, your normal all-American family. Kelly grew up on a farm in rural Illinois; she has a strong faith and even stronger family values. She and Doug met when the pair were in their early twenties, dated for four years, and then got married. Doug worked in IT, while Kelly enjoyed a long and happy career as a dental hygienist, respected and loved by her patients and by the community.

As the family grew, they did all the things young, busy families do. They went on adventures and holidays, the girls played sports, and they attended church every Sunday. And, like almost all families, they documented the years through pictures and videos, especially of their two young daughters. Treasured family memories. Memories that would one day land them both in prison, arrested, tried and convicted of possessing and producing child pornography.

It all started when allegations were made against Kelly's husband, Doug. Allegations he denies. Allegations we cannot go into, as they are still making their way through the court system. These allegations had nothing to do with Kelly, but they would be the catalyst for what came next.

As part of the complaint, the person making the allegations told police that if they took Doug's phone and computer, they would find evidence to back up her claims. So they did. But they found nothing. What they did find, however, while searching through the computer and phone, was those very family memories: thousands of pictures and videos of the two kids. As police went through the files, they said they found what they deemed to be images and videos of a sexual nature.

They took what they had found to a grand jury, and very quickly this supposedly normal all-American family were having their lives dissected and pulled apart online, their faces plastered across the internet under headlines like "Decatur Couple Arrested on Child Porn and Sex Charges."

This is a case where we can truly say: it could happen to you.

Rob Rosen is a veteran investigative journalist with more than thirty years of experience. He was the Executive Producer, creator, and showrunner of the investigative, true-crime series Reasonable Doubt a show thats had featured a few of the men and women that we have spoke to on One Minute Reamining.
Rob has just released his new book Crimes of Omission

Exposing why the media refused to tell the whole truth about the anti-police movement.

Truth is supposed to be a journalist’s north star. But during the 2010s, the fourth estate lost its way, abandoning reporting for straight-up activism.

In Crimes of Omission, Rob will reveal the full story of the high-profile cases of law enforcement violence that rocked the world.

Through dozens of exclusive interviews, this book transports readers inside the nation’s most influential newsrooms at those crucial moments when the people we trust to inform us chose instead to mislead and inflame.

Crimes of omission aren’t about what is reported—they’re about what’s left out. Discover the disastrous decisions that ripped a nation apart and shattered the credibility of a once noble profession—and prepare to question everything you thought was true.
He joins me today for a chat about some of the cases we have both covered, those that left a lasting impression and of course his new book which you can get here

Well, here we are at the end of our journey through the United States, but not before we do one last important thing, and that's finally meet a man whose story we started telling three years ago.

When I first decided to head to the US, I knew that I wanted to get inside a prison to be able to shake hands with someone whose story had affected me a lot. Now, of course, that list isn't short, but right near the top of that list was the story of Tariq Maqbool.

From the very first letter we connected, and from there our friendship has grown, and we have been on quite the journey with Tariq. So my last stop on my trip was to New York City, just across the water from New Jersey. Tariq was being held in East Jersey State Prison, a prison that has stood since the 1800s, and today was the day I was going inside its walls.

Todays episode is again vastly different and more of a vlog of my travels to Chicargo and arriving in NYC. I hope you're enjoying these very dofferent episodes to what we normally do! we will return to a brand new case very soon.

In today's episode we fly from Louisiana to Chicago to visit the Voice of Reason. Things get off to a shaky start due to a severe storm and a missed connection, but we soon make it to town.

Michael picks me up from my hotel and we take a drive through Chicago, head to his office to record, then it's on to another podcast recording with a show he moonlights on, before the ultimate all American experience as we head to a baseball game.

After my short visit with Michael, it's back on a plane and off to the Big Apple, where I get myself prepared for my first ever visit to a prison to visit Tariq Maqbool.
