#309 Jason Flom with Jace Washington

On April 29, 2007, six undocumented immigrants from El Salvador were living in a trailer in Slidell, LA when they were robbed at gunpoint. The robbery went awry and Jose Carlos Matinez-Carpio was shot and killed. Two men were arrested for the killing and one of the men, Edric Cooper, implicated Jace Washington in an effort to earn leniency from the state. Jace had no prior criminal record, and no physical or forensic evidence pointed to him. Nevertheless, Jace Washington was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison.  to learn more and get involved, visit: https://izzyafriyie.com/jace-washington/ https://www.change.org/p/st-tammany-parish-district-attorney-office-and-louisiana-department-of-justice-please-help-me-bring-my-son-jace-colby-washington-home https://izzyafriyie.com/petition-to-free-innocent-man-jace-washington/ https://friendsofjustice.blog/2021/07/17/jace-washington-and-the-monsters-of-saint-tammany/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMS-0ynDS14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm3X1GRnxTI Wrongful Conviction  is a production of Lava for Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co.
