Just finished Murder in Oregon. Incredible. Incredibly frustrating. Oregon has an effed up history... And it's still doing effed up stuff as a result.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Francke The "local petty criminal" they framed was released after decades when a judge ruled that he could not have possibly been the murderer, and said that no jury could possibly convict the man. The state has no case. The state has appealed his release and is, to this day, trying to get him thrown back in jail. Highly recommend you listen to the whole thing. There is so much to unpack.
Oregon still trying to jail a guy who has been proven innocent... So corrupt... https://www.koin.com/news/oregon/oregon-doj-makes-case-to-re-jail-frank-gable/
Oh yeah, I've been wanting to get back to you on this. Such a crazy fucking scandal that went everywhere in the state. Did you know the prosecutor in the case went on to be the head of the Oregon Lottery? And that he started giving out shit like Rolexes to all the top administrators, stepped down, then Kulongoski made him a circuit court judge. And the state cop who was assigned to watch Goldschmidt start banging his wife and then went on to be the sheriff of Multnomah county?
Twice I went down to Dantes on Burnside to listen to Storm Large and ended up sitting with Phil Stanford and buying him drinks while he talked about this case. Great nights!
