Dear Governor podcast

Dear Governor

Since his final state appeal at the end of last season, a stellar team of attorneys has assembled around Jarvis Masters, pledging to represent his death penalty case at the federal level. We will follow his riveting case and meet some of those experts as they work to help Jarvis find freedom after over forty years of incarceration. And we will dig deeper into facets of Jarvis’s life as well as the deeply flawed criminal justice system. If you’d like to support Jarvis Masters’s cause, please considering signing a petition on his behalf at www.freejarvis.org
