Roger reveals the raw, personal story behind the legal setback: from a chance "near-miss" encounter with the Pastor at a legal event, to the heartbreaking 1:00 AM phone call that changed everything. While the lawyers were focused on attacking the investigation and making "insignificant paperwork mistakes," they missed the mountain of evidence that proves the state's case is a physical impossibility.

We break down the "Forensic Triad"—the hidden facts the jury never heard:

• The Ballistics Lie: Why a .40 caliber confession cannot explain a 9mm bullet.

• The Contact Wound: How an autopsy report proves the "confession" defies the laws of distance and physics.

• The Phantom Gun: Proof that the murder weapon was still with its legal owner days after the crime.

The lawyers thought this was heading to the US Supreme Court, but the battle is currently in the PA courts—and the stakes have never been higher. It’s time to stop arguing over procedures and start looking at the science.

Episode 9: "The Final Appeal" – Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files

In the powerful finale of Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files, Roger Warstone hands the torch to a formidable new legal team—and watches as The Client’s fight for freedom ascends to the highest court in the land.

After exposing coerced testimony, mismatched ballistics, and a pattern of police misconduct, Roger’s on-the-ground detective work becomes the foundation for a historic appeal. With the unwavering support of a determined pastor and a brilliant attorney who tracks systemic corruption like a forensic map, the case rockets through Pennsylvania’s appellate courts—and against all odds, lands before the United States Supreme Court.

Only 1% of petitions are accepted by the Court. This one made the cut. Now, as briefs are filed and oral arguments loom, the nation waits in silence for a decision that could not only free an innocent man—but expose a dangerous flaw in America’s justice system.

This isn’t just about one conviction. It’s about truth, accountability, and what happens when ordinary people refuse to look away.

As Roger reflects on his role in this journey—and prepares to share his own story of military injustice in the next chapter—he leaves listeners with a challenge: If you see injustice, will you act?

The gavel hasn’t fallen yet. But the final appeal has been made. And history is watching.

In the final episode of this season, “The Witness Locked Up,” host and private investigator dives deep into his last and most crucial task: interviewing "Victim 2," the very man whose testimony helped convict his client. This person is now also incarcerated, serving a murder charge, but a face-to-face meeting with him is the last piece of the puzzle needed to prove his client's innocence.

For months, the host has been meticulously dismantling the prosecution’s case, exposing every lie and inconsistency—from the flimsy alibi of the key witness to the scientifically impossible bullet timeline. Now, with the new evidence in hand, the host has to go see the only witness who can provide the definitive proof to exonerate his client.

Join the host as he recounts the high-stakes journey and reveals the shocking truth that was hidden from the beginning. With the final piece of evidence now secured, the case is handed over to a new legal team, but the fight for freedom is just beginning. This episode is not just about a case; it's a testament to hope, perseverance, and the belief that the truth, no matter how deeply buried, will always find its way to the surface.
