1
00:00:02,940 --> 00:00:05,209
We're here with wrongful
conviction attorney.
2
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:07,530
- Madeline Scott.
- We'd like to be your lawyers.
3
00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:10,410
Gore Bellows is the very prosecutor
4
00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:12,770
who wrongfully convicted
Madeline and her brother
5
00:00:12,790 --> 00:00:15,389
of the first-degree murder
of her best friend.
6
00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:16,800
Most of us in town still think
7
00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:17,889
you should be in jail.
8
00:00:17,890 --> 00:00:19,450
I would lose a Pulitzer
9
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:20,510
for a date with you.
10
00:00:20,530 --> 00:00:21,729
I got a line on Madeline Scott.
11
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:24,260
I announce my candidacy
for attorney general.
12
00:00:24,270 --> 00:00:25,939
How many innocent lives
has he destroyed?
13
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:27,540
Are you sure you want to poke the bear?
14
00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:29,370
No, I want to rip his heart out.
15
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,340
Okay.
16
00:00:34,350 --> 00:00:36,020
Hilarious.
17
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,060
- You want another?
- Yes.
18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,090
- Yes.
- Okay.
19
00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:46,300
Roxy, another round.
20
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:48,080
Hey, I ain't never seen
you in here before.
21
00:00:48,090 --> 00:00:49,480
No, but I love it.
22
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,359
- It's so hard-core.
- Yeah?
23
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,929
We should do a selfie.
24
00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:53,930
Yeah?
25
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:55,899
Yeah.
26
00:00:55,900 --> 00:00:59,039
Wait, no, I want to see the scar.
27
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,600
It's so hot.
28
00:01:00,610 --> 00:01:03,130
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
29
00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:04,740
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.
30
00:01:04,780 --> 00:01:06,800
How's that?
31
00:01:06,860 --> 00:01:08,949
That's perfect.
32
00:01:11,050 --> 00:01:13,380
What are you doing in here
all by your lonesome?
33
00:01:13,390 --> 00:01:15,880
You, looking to meet
your prince charming?
34
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,059
God, no.
35
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:19,889
No, I'm here to serve you a subpoena
36
00:01:19,890 --> 00:01:21,530
in the Tamara Folsom case.
37
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Bodie, cut him off at the next block!
38
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,680
Go... Just go after him!
39
00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:30,360
- Where is he?
- He's in that truck... go.
40
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,450
You're bleeding.
41
00:02:31,460 --> 00:02:33,080
I'm fine. Will you go?
42
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,090
No, come on. We'll live
to fight another day.
43
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,139
Got to get you some stitches, maybe.
44
00:02:39,140 --> 00:02:40,800
Does it hurt?
45
00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:42,339
Yes, it hurts!
46
00:02:46,010 --> 00:02:48,679
The fight for justice is unending.
47
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,720
Every day in America, someone
is wrongfully accused.
48
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:54,010
And far too many are convicted.
49
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:57,020
This podcast tells their stories.
50
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,120
On today's episode of
Until Proven Innocent,
51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,889
we'll discuss the case of Tamara Folsom.
52
00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:06,729
Tamara was charged with the
murder of a man she never met.
53
00:03:06,730 --> 00:03:09,020
The police were confused, conflating
54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,399
her boast of fighting
back against the attacker
55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,580
as a confession to the murder
of a totally different person.
56
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,109
It was a terrible mistake
57
00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:19,409
that got Tamara locked away for life.
58
00:03:19,410 --> 00:03:21,750
Tamara told the truth, but the police
59
00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:24,419
either didn't hear her
or didn't believe her.
60
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:27,119
People say "the truth
will set you free."
61
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000
So what happens when telling the truth
62
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:32,180
is what ends up costing
you your freedom?
63
00:03:36,580 --> 00:03:39,160
Yeah, that's him.
64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,869
That's him, all right. I'll
never forget his ugly-ass face.
65
00:03:42,870 --> 00:03:45,369
He look old now, though.
66
00:03:45,370 --> 00:03:47,139
So, now what?
67
00:03:47,140 --> 00:03:50,470
Put him on the stand and he
tells the judge I cut him.
68
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,079
Once we find him again, yes.
69
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,540
- Wait, you lost him?
- We're going to find him
70
00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:57,350
and this photo's gonna
get us another hearing.
71
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,979
To prep you, we want
to go over your story
72
00:03:58,980 --> 00:04:00,949
- one more time, okay?
- I'll just need
73
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:03,049
to go over your story again, okay?
74
00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:05,389
It's not my "story," it's the truth.
75
00:04:05,390 --> 00:04:07,790
I've been telling the
same story for years.
76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,159
Why did you tell the police
you slashed a man that night?
77
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,229
I was proud of it.
78
00:04:12,230 --> 00:04:14,569
Creep tried to rape me in a parking lot.
79
00:04:14,570 --> 00:04:15,929
Damn right I cut him.
80
00:04:15,930 --> 00:04:17,469
Why were you carrying a knife?
81
00:04:17,470 --> 00:04:20,170
Where I'm from, you
always carry a knife.
82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,350
When I was 12...
83
00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:28,180
my mom married a man
84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,280
that would rape me every chance he got.
85
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,200
When I finally got old enough, I vowed
86
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:34,349
I'd never let nobody
do that to me again.
87
00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:36,789
After she divorced the son of a bitch,
88
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:39,619
- we never looked back.
- Does she still visit you?
89
00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:40,659
No, ma'am.
90
00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:43,790
She died a few years
after they locked me up.
91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,799
I never even got to go to her funeral.
92
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,760
I'm so sorry.
93
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Then, after you cut Jeff
Skadden, the police
94
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:52,539
arrested you the next
week for the murder
95
00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:54,769
of Tim Manning, who was
also slashed that night.
96
00:04:54,770 --> 00:04:56,470
They kept asking me why I killed him.
97
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,779
I said I didn't.
98
00:04:57,780 --> 00:04:59,439
This wasn't the guy I cut.
99
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,040
I never even met the man.
100
00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:03,060
I didn't kill Rosemary. I swear.
101
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:04,279
Why won't anyone believe me?
102
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:06,480
I was defending myself
against someone else.
103
00:05:06,490 --> 00:05:07,819
Why didn't your original lawyer
104
00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:09,319
look for the man you really slashed?
105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,519
My public pretender.
106
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,189
He didn't believe a word I said.
107
00:05:15,190 --> 00:05:17,530
Worst piece of crap lawyer ever.
108
00:05:20,380 --> 00:05:21,569
Tamara.
109
00:05:21,570 --> 00:05:23,129
We hear you.
110
00:05:23,130 --> 00:05:25,039
We believe you.
111
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,000
And we're gonna do everything we can
112
00:05:27,010 --> 00:05:28,840
to get you the hell out of here.
113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,780
The number of wrongful
convictions in Cook County
114
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,220
is skyrocketing, and lazy, sloppy,
115
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,159
corrupt prosecutions are the reason.
116
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,160
There's only one man to blame for that.
117
00:05:54,170 --> 00:05:55,669
Gore Bellows.
118
00:05:55,670 --> 00:05:57,839
If you're just joining
us, my guest today is
119
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,239
Madeline Scott.
120
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,560
You may remember her as a
drunken, lovesick teen
121
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:04,460
who, along with her brother Levi,
122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,940
allegedly murdered her best
friend Rosemary Lynch.
123
00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:10,180
A conviction that never would
have happened except for
124
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,179
the corrupt prosecution by Mr. Bellows.
125
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:13,680
My brother and I spent
126
00:06:13,690 --> 00:06:15,450
ten years in prison for a murder
127
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,889
we didn't commit because.
128
00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:18,850
Bellows ignored a
medical examiner report
129
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,459
that would have exonerated us.
130
00:06:20,460 --> 00:06:22,740
How many others are suffering in silence
131
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,090
because of his incompetence?
132
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:26,800
Makes me wonder how the
man thinks he's qualified
133
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:29,099
to be Illinois's next attorney general.
134
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:32,399
He's not. And I'll keep
135
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,969
telling my story to make
sure that never happens.
136
00:06:34,970 --> 00:06:36,109
Thank you, Madeline.
137
00:06:36,110 --> 00:06:37,639
We'll be right back.
138
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,600
Nearly every defendant
139
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:48,240
who can't afford their own attorney
140
00:06:48,260 --> 00:06:50,319
gets assigned a public defender.
141
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,559
The same was true for Tamara Folsom.
142
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,659
But, like many public
defenders, hers was overworked
143
00:06:56,660 --> 00:06:58,329
and underpaid.
144
00:06:58,330 --> 00:07:01,569
I strongly advised Ms.
Folsom not to testify.
145
00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:03,440
She'd already confessed to
slicing the guy's neck.
146
00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:05,739
Admitting it in open court
would only make matters worse.
147
00:07:05,740 --> 00:07:08,569
But we've identified
that guy as Jeff Skadden,
148
00:07:08,570 --> 00:07:10,909
not the actual murder
victim, Tim Manning.
149
00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:14,540
Same town, same night, two
different neck slashes?
150
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:16,449
- No one bought her story.
- Is that why you didn't
151
00:07:16,450 --> 00:07:18,649
look for Skadden... because
you didn't believe her?
152
00:07:18,650 --> 00:07:20,749
I did look and I couldn't find him.
153
00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:21,960
How hard did you look?
154
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:24,760
I was balancing 73 cases that month.
155
00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:26,660
That's why I'm not a
public defender anymore.
156
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:27,929
The arrest report noted
157
00:07:27,930 --> 00:07:30,529
that there was DNA evidence
collected from the scene.
158
00:07:30,530 --> 00:07:32,920
Did you seek to ascertain
the source of that DNA?
159
00:07:32,940 --> 00:07:35,020
Again, we didn't have the resources.
160
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,860
Did you do literally anything?
161
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,299
- Objection.
- Your Honor,
162
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:41,400
Mr. Bryce's testimony is
nothing more than an attempt
163
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:43,780
to cover up an inadequate trial strategy
164
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,779
that was manifestly unreasonable.
165
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:48,849
Petitioner requests the court
order a new trial on the grounds
166
00:07:48,850 --> 00:07:51,010
that Ms. Folsom's Sixth Amendment
rights to a fair trial
167
00:07:51,020 --> 00:07:52,479
were grotesquely violated.
168
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,000
I'll take it under advisement,
but I'm more interested
169
00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:57,010
in hearing from this Jeff Skadden.
170
00:07:57,020 --> 00:07:59,789
Your Honor, we're tracking
him down as we speak.
171
00:07:59,790 --> 00:08:01,629
While court considers our motion,
172
00:08:01,630 --> 00:08:03,529
petitioner requests
we be allowed to test
173
00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:07,129
the potentially exculpatory
DNA evidence from the scene.
174
00:08:07,130 --> 00:08:09,029
It's time someone from her defense
175
00:08:09,030 --> 00:08:10,240
finally looks at it.
176
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:12,399
I think it's a terrific idea.
177
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,800
Okay.
178
00:08:13,810 --> 00:08:14,909
We're adjourned.
179
00:08:14,910 --> 00:08:16,500
Do I get a new case?
180
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,000
