For those not already familiar with the story of Marty Tanklev, his case began on the

night of September 6, 1988 when Marty was just about to start his senior year of high school

in an affluent area of Long Island, New York.

Marty's father was an entrepreneur and investor who was playing poker with some friends and

business associates in the house that night.

Marty awoke to two absolutely gruesome scenes in which both of his loving parents had

been brutally beaten and stabbed.

His mother was dead, his father was dying.

When authorities arrived, they kept him separate from any of the adults in his life.

As they focused their investigation solely on Marty instead of Marty's father's business

partner, Jerry Stormin, who all signs pointed to being the obvious suspect in this awful

crime.

In our original 2017 release of Marty's story, we touched on many of these details but

at that time, with ongoing civil litigation, we were not at liberty to delve more deeply

into the details of the re-investigation of Marty's case that ultimately led to his

exoneration.

In this episode, you'll hear excerpts of that original interview which included both

Marty and false confession experts Saul Cassandre to set the stage for not only the evidence

and witnesses that made Marty's freedom possible as well as all the amazing things Marty has

been able to accomplish since winning his freedom, but also what Marty intends to do to bring

closure to this harrowing tragedy.

This is wrongful conviction with Jason Flamm.
