Ep 127: The Case of Jamarion Lawhorn

In August 2014, a tragedy unfolded at a playground in Kentwood, Michigan. A 9-year-old boy was deceased, and a 12-year-old boy was charged with murder. 
How did this happen, and what would the criminal justice system do with such a young killer?
Thank you to Vicki Seidl, from the Kent County Prosecutor’s Office, for speaking with me about this case.

Imagine being wrongfully convicted for a crime you didn't commit, or imagine your child's killer is still on the loose even though there's enough evidence for an arrest. I want to help shine light on the injustices of our judicial system. I delve into court documents, attend trials, and interview those close to the case to help me tell their stories.
