LAL #043 — Interview with Jonathan Gibbs: What It's Like to be Accused of Murder

This one is solemn.  "I don't even know who I was before then." Jonathan Gibbs was accused of murder in June of 2013, in a case that came to be known as the "Tennis Shoe Murder" in the press and media. The jury acquitted Jonathan of all charged counts. Jon was also found not responsible in the subsequent civil law suit brought by the victim's estate.  You will hear Jonathan talk about the precipitating events of Fathers Day of 2013 and his subsequent arrest and incarceration. You will hear Jonathan describe his experience of intense loneliness, feelings of betrayal, and his glimpse of a life confined for a crime he did not commit.  You will also hear the journey we took together, about the immense trust Jonathan placed in me, and I hope the bond and the love that we formed for one another will be palpable to you. The moment we shared on the courthouse steps, with the sun hitting Jonathan's face as a free man, is one I will cherish forever.  This episode contains the essence of Law and Legitimacy.
