Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Join us Monday, May 17th, 2021, at 9:00 AM when host Terri Wilke speaks with Cliff Middleton about wrongful convictions. In light of recent legislative action in Missouri, people trapped in the swirling vortex of our criminal justice system might have increased opportunity to overturn wrongful convictions. Ken Middleton, Cliff’s father has spent 30 years in prison for a crime he has always clearly denied he committed. Ken Middleton is not alone when he says he was wrongfully incarcerated.
Missouri Senate Bill passed to the desk of Gov. Mike Parson just last week. If Gov Parson signs the bill, the Jackson CTY Missouri DA could file a court motion asking a judge to clear the conviction of Kevin Strickland, a Kansas City man imprisoned for more than two-thirds of his life for a crime the evidence shows he did not commit.
During the second half of our hour, host Craig Lubow talks to criminal defense attorney Dan Ross, who was a criminal prosecutor before turning to the defense side. Dan talks to Craig about alarming evidence of wrongdoing by former Detective Roger Golubski which has led to wrongful convictions in Wyandotte County, Kansas, including the wrongful conviction of Lamonte McIntyre.
Listeners will learn of the most recent case to come to light, where Golubski is alleged to have led the investigation of the murder of his nephew, Greg Miller. There are allegations of witness tampering by Golubski that led to the wrongful conviction of Celester McKinney and Brian Betts. There are also allegations reported by other media outlets that Golubski was dealing drugs and that the murder of Greg Miller was related to the drug dealing. Even more alarming are allegations that Golubski was involved in wrong doing with respect to the murder of six prostitutes in Kansas City, Kansas. The cases were all assigned to Golubski to investigate, but no investigation was ever completed on any of the murders. There has been no criminal prosecutions against Golubski as of this date and it appears none are planned.
