One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

After 16-year-old Traveontaye Berry was arrested for the murder of Carl Green Jr. in Freeport, Illinois, police began interviewing people who were inside a nearby home on the night of the shooting. One of those witnesses was Mikelle Brown.

In Part 2 of 52 Years in Just 2 Hours, we hear Mikelle's police interview and examine what she told investigators in the hours after the murder.

During the interview, Mikelle says she believes multiple people had run through the house that night — an account that officers question and ultimately appear to dismiss as they try to establish who was there and what happened.

We also hear Mikelle say she doesn't know Trae, something Trae disputes. He says he knew both of the girls who were inside the house that night.

As the investigation into Carl Green Jr.'s murder begins to take shape, we hear the evidence as police heard it and start examining the accounts that would become important in the case against Traveontaye Berry.

Trae maintains that he did not kill Carl Green Jr.

Traveontaye Berry was just 16 years old when he was arrested for the murder of Carl Green Jr. in Freeport, Illinois. Trae says he did not commit the crime. He would later be convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 52 years in prison.

But before the arrest, the trial and the decades-long prison sentence, Trae was a kid being raised by his mother and grandmother who dreamed of one day playing professional football.
In Part 1 of 52 Years in Just 2 Hours, Trae takes Jack back through his childhood — the people who raised him, the influence of his older cousins, hanging around the wrong crowd and the trouble that eventually saw him spend time in juvenile detention.

He talks about his dreams of playing football and why he eventually walked away from the sport, before taking us through the events of the night that would change the course of his life forever.
By the end of that night, Carl Green Jr. had been shot and killed and 16-year-old Traveontaye Berry was under arrest for his murder.

Trae has maintained that he was not the person who killed Carl Green Jr.

We recently covered the story of Christopher Bennette, a man convicted for murder, the murder of his abuser. Chris has spent decades fighting his conviction after being convinced to take a plea deal of 1800 years behind bars.

Chris's story went viral during COVID after a friend uploaded it online. The producers of the hit daytime TV show Dr Phil saw his story and had him on the show to talk to the doctor.

Chris says the only good thing to come out of that show was the lady who has become the love of his life and his biggest advocate on the outside and today I sit down for a chat with Chris's other half.

Today I catch up with a man who I'm asked about regularly. David Talley was handed a sentence fit for a murderer yet no one in his case died, no one was even harmed yet he was condemned to die behind bars.

David has spent years fighting to get a resentencing hearing in his case without any luck. At the end of the day when it comes to the 'Justice System' it's all about money. If you want help it doesn't come cheap and so far David hasn't had enough money to get the help he needs. Recently I got word that a relative of David's who came into some inheritance had come forward and said they wanted to use some of that to help him in his situation. So now David has money and an attorney who believes he can get David back in front of a judge.
