*Note: First episode ever. Sound quality is not the best, but later episodes get better.* Episode 1: Johanna Balsewicz’s tragic murder in 1997 led to her husband’s 80‑year sentence. In 2022, after 24 years served, his parole was initially granted—but revoked after a public and legal campaign led by the family, Gov. Evers, and a judge. The case has since driven significant proposed reforms to Wisconsin’s parole process under the banner of “Johanna’s Law.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are looking to buy a home or refinance your current mortgage, be sure to reach out to Aaron Schmitz, Senior Loan Officer with Epic Mortgage!
