Episode 17. Why so many courts of appeals

In Pennsylvania there are so many courts you can appeal to. If you're found guilty of a crime you're innocent of it's because your rights were not protected during the court proceeding. When you realize which rights were violated you have to first appeal to the very judge that allowed your rights to be violated. There is no consequences for a judge or district attorney to violate your rights. In fact, if you do ever appeal to a court that cares and they vindicate you, the judge who initially violated you will never be told. And more than likely the violations wont stop at you just as you probably weren't the first. Jay has been sentenced to life without parole for a double homicide and he has recently discovered that his rights were violated. He is now taking the journey through the many courts of appeals until he finds the right judge.   Stay tuned, we answer some more of your questions about prison life at the end of this episode.
