The Wrongful Conviction of Joshua Kezer and the Lawless Case

from Murder Files Unsealed · host AC Wilson

The episode details the complex legal saga surrounding the 1992 murder of Mischelle Lawless in Missouri. It chronicles the wrongful conviction of Joshua Kezer, who spent sixteen years in prison before a local sheriff and advocates uncovered perjured testimony and lack of physical evidence to secure his exoneration. The narrative explores how Sheriff Rick Walter reopened the investigation, utilizing advanced DNA testing from the Netherlands to scrutinize other potential suspects, including the victim's boyfriend and local twins. Though Kezer was eventually declared innocent and awarded a settlement, the case remained a persistent mystery for decades. The report concludes with the 2024 arrest of Leon Lamb, the victim’s former partner, marking a new chapter in the quest for justice.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
