Summary

This is an updated episode that originally aired on September 25, 2017.

On the afternoon of April 15th, 1994, two men were sitting in a powder-blue Cadillac in the Quindaro neighborhood of Kansas City, KS. A man dressed in black ran up to the passenger side, raised a shotgun and fired four rounds in what looked like a drug-related hit, killing the two passengers Doniel Quinn and Donald Ewing. Lamonte McIntyre, who was 17 at the time, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The prosecution relied primarily on the testimonies of two eyewitnesses who identified Lamonte as the shooter. Both eyewitnesses later recanted. Even though there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime, he was found guilty by a jury and sentenced to two consecutive life terms.

0:00.0	We originally released our interview with Lamont-McCintyre on September 25th, 2017, but with all that has changed in this case and the world around us, we thought it a good time to release an updated version of this episode.

0:32.4	Roger Golubsky began the process of framing
0:35.7	Lamont-McIntyre, who was 17 at the time, for two counts of first-degree murder.
0:42.3	Why did he do this? Because Lamont's mother had refused Galoubsky's
