Troy Coleman split his formative years between California and the middle-class Philadelphia neighborhood of Mount Erie.

But while in Philly, he attended a rough high school in Germantown, where he met Byron Johnson,

Karim Nobles, and Darren Keith Johnson. After Troy graduated Byron and Karim were the muscle behind a cocaine operation that they all ran out of Troy's apartment.

However, a drug drought in the summer of 1989 stimulated desperate behavior all over Philly.

And while Troy was a way that Lanark City on September 26, 1989, Karim allegedly set up a deal with two men, Kevin Jones and Arthur Sanders.

Now, according to Sanders, he waited down the block, while Kevin Jones drove to Troy's apartment in his gray dodge with $40,000 to buy cocaine.

Nearly two hours later, Sanders claimed to see two other men driving away in Kevin Jones' gray dodge.

A light skin driver and a darker skin passenger wearing a hat with the brim pull down low.

Kevin's body was eventually bound in the gray dodge. Sanders agreed that Troy's photo looked like the passenger.

With Sanders' shaky ID and the coerced an incentivized testimony of Darren Keith Johnson, Troy was sentenced to life in prison.

Despite Darren's 1998 recantation and Byron Johnson's 2019 confession to being the actual passenger in the gray dodge that day,

he used to serve life for a crime for which he was not even in Philadelphia to commit. This is wrongful conviction with Jason Flamm.

How did the online harassment of a Saturday night live comedian paved the way to a Trump White House? Or how did people in Georgia use Facebook to run a black teacher out of town?

And what does any of this have to do with our democracy? The answer is the internet. They're all instances where women were targeted by an online hate mob.

And this kind of thing has been steadily creeping from our computer screen into our wider political landscape.

I'm Brigitte Todd and on my new podcast, internet hate machine, I'll be charting how the harassment and abuse of women and other traditionally marginalized people online has led us to our current political hellscape. And what we can do about it.
