On Nov. 8, 1992, Angela "Mischelle" Lawless was murdered on the exit ramp of the interstate near her home in rural Missouri. Less than two years later, an 18-year-old man named Josh Kezer was convicted of the crime. Kezer was exonerated in 2009 on an "actual innocence" ruling. This podcast examines the investigation of the murder, and whether law enforcement intentionally convicted an innocent man while protecting the state's star witness from suspicion. This podcast is hosted by a veteran journalist and is based on original reporting, interviews and thousands of pages of records.

In back-to-back witnesses, Hulshof tried to put Josh Kezer in two places at once
Put this one in the you-can't-make-this-stuff up file. In back to back witnesses in Josh Kezer's 1994 trial, prosecutor Kenny Hulshof literally put Josh Kezer in two places at the same time, and neither story were true. In doing so, this unethical move was intended to show that Josh was at a Halloween party with Mischelle Lawless, which we know was not true, AND at the Billiard Center in downtown Cape Girardeau at literally the same time. Instead, Josh was in Kankakee, celebrating Halloween with friends and family.
