🎙 HAV Podcast S2E6 – Framed & Silenced: Tony Viola’s Fight Against CorruptionIn this explosive episode of the HAV Podcast, Danielle Harrison is joined by Tony Viola, a Cleveland man who was falsely accused and imprisoned 10 years for mortgage fraud—a crime he didn’t commit.Tony walks us through how he was prosecuted twice for the same alleged crime—once in federal court, once in state court—and how evidence proving his innocence was hidden by the U.S. Department of Justice.Even more chilling is what followed:🔹 The suspicious death of private investigator Dawn Pasela, who helped uncover evidence that ultimately freed Tony🔹 The official narrative around Dawn’s death, and why her family and colleagues believe it was not a suicide🔹 The dangers whistleblowers face when they threaten powerful institutions🔹 The connection between corruption, cover-ups, and retaliation in law enforcement and the court systemThis is a story not just about wrongful conviction—but about the cost of truth, the muzzling of those who fight back, and the urgent need for real accountability in our justice system.🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES📄 Learn more about Tony Viola’s case: https://FreeTonyViola.com📚 Learn more about Dawn Pasela: https://justicefordawn.com 🕊️ In memory of Dawn Pasela, whose courage continues to inspire.🌐 Learn more about the work behind this podcast:Website: https://www.humanityagainstviolence.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/HumanityAgainstViolence⏱️ Updated YouTube Chapters00:00 – Intro: Welcome & Background on Tony Viola03:20 – The original mortgage fraud case and arrest08:10 – How Tony was prosecuted twice for the same crime13:05 – Discovery of hidden evidence and the storage locker19:40 – Dawn Pasela’s role in uncovering the truth26:00 – Dawn’s sudden death and why it doesn’t add up31:50 – Tony’s time in prison and retaliation from the DOJ39:25 – Fighting back while behind bars45:50 – Being released—but still battling the system51:30 – Public records, exposure, and pushing for justice58:15 – Final thoughts: truth, danger, and accountability#podcast #podcasts
