Well, you know, I say I'm innocent because I am.

I'm a father. I've got six kids. I've got eight grandkids.

That's really who I am. But I, you know, I say I'm innocent because I truly am.

And most people, they take the time to learn the facts about my case, they come, you know,

they come away feeling the same way.

Jamie Snow has spent more than two decades behind bars saying the same thing he's always said,

that he didn't do it and that he never

got a fair chance to prove that. For more than 20 years, Jamie has maintained his innocence,

not just quietly, not just in court filings or appeals, but consistently through interviews,

letters, and using every opportunity he's had to be heard. And in that time,

the case against him hasn't just stayed the same. It's been picked apart piece by piece by people

who say there's more to this story than what the jury ever heard. In today's episode, you're going to

hear directly from Jamie Snow, speaking from prison,

about the case that put him there. You'll also hear from someone who has spent years digging

through the details, filing records requests, uncovering documents, and trying to understand

what really happened. And at the center of it all is one question. Did the system get this right?

Or is an innocent man behind bars while the real killer walks free? The prosecution says all the

voices point in one direction. The defense says those voices can't be trusted. But it's the jurors who have the final say.

This is the 13th juror podcast where we break down real court cases and put you in the juror's seat.

Two sides, the same evidence. You decide what to believe.

I'm your host, Randy Churchwell.

Today's episode is Illinois versus James Snow, part three, beyond the jury box. The single biggest misconceptions that I got a fair trial.
