from Wrongful Conviction · host Wrongful Conviction Podcasts
On April 19, 1986, the body of a 28 year old woman was found in her bedroom in Garland, Texas. She had been tied, gagged, raped and shot three times. Clay Chabot, a friend of the victim's husband, became the main suspect after voluntarily providing information to the police about his brother-in-law, Gerald Pabst, who had visited the victim's home on the morning of the murder. Initially telling police that he had no involvement in the crime, Pabst later changed his story by claiming that Clay had forced him to tie up the victim before she was shot. Despite no physical evidence linking Clay to the crime, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison solely on the testimony of Gerald Pabst.To learn more and get involved, visit: https://guiltypleaproblem.org/?id=clay_chabot https://innocenceproject.org/clay-chabot-veterans-day-2018/ https://innocenceproject.org/https://lavaforgood.com/with-jason-flom/Wrongful Conviction is a production of Lava for Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co.
