    James Morgan | 1977 Stuart murder - when is enough, enough?
    Jan 31 2019
    In 1977, when James Morgan mutilated a Stuart grandmother at 16, a state doctor said insanity didn't drive him to kill. The truth was more disturbing.

    Now at age 57, James is seeking freedom from his life prison term in a new legal twist in his case that’s already gone through four murder trials and four death sentences.

  • Introducing Uncertain Terms

    Introducing Uncertain Terms
    Dec 4 2018
    In Florida, hundreds of juvenile offenders serving life for murder are eligible for a sentencing do-over.

    “Uncertain Terms” is an exclusive true-crime series that digs into the compelling stories of teenagers who committed murder and were sentenced to life in prison, sometimes decades ago, as they return to court for resentencing — and could go free.

    Behind the microphones are two journalists, Melissa E. Holsman and Dacia Johnson, who have been working on this five-part series for more than a year. They've been attending court hearings, interviewing families, meeting with a range of experts and talking with prosecutors and defense attorneys.

    They obtained hours of archived trial video — think old VHS tapes — and worked with court officials to copy stored audio from old trials. while also digging up old police interrogations, taped confessions and crime scene evidence.
