Happy 50th!!! It's the 50th episode!!! 
On todays episode we have non other then John Esteen, a former State Prisoner whose legal fight over his 150-year sentence for nonviolent drug crimes led to a landmark state Supreme Court decision...  We talk about John's childhood to the National Guard to Drug Smuggling to Prison and then finally his fight for his release, that also paved the way for other prisoners like himself to be able to be released after being "illegally" sentenced for nonvolant crimes...  His fight also caught the attention of Dateline NBC while they were in Angolia (where John was locked up) to do a documentary about the prison.  Come on in and listen to this amazing story...

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
