Yeah.

And we had this very discussion about these people just basically locking people away and not wanting to reverse their decisions purely to save face.

And it's purely for their own ego, their own reputation, and they're willing for someone to spend the rest of their lives in prison for something they didn't do just to save face.

The ultimate question, how long before we might get an answer on what's next for Junior?

I know when it comes to these things, it's sort of how long is a piece of string, but any idea on how long before we get a decision?

my way of thinking because typically it goes longer yeah one thing I've I've sort of learned I think from from doing what I do is that although longer is frustrating it's sometimes better because it means they are taking their time to really look at everything and to you know if it happens real quick then sometimes it can be a case that they're just rubber stamping and saying denied whereas if they if it takes longer it means they're actually really looking into this this case and the situation yeah that's true that's true that's what the lawyers are saying too so

And that's where we'll leave it for now.

But, of course, we will stay up to date with Junior and his case and we'll bring you news as soon as we get it.

Hello and welcome back to One Minute Remaining.

My name is Jack Lawrence, the host and creator of this show.

We just wrapped up the incredible story of Evaristo Salas Jr., the man now in his 40s convicted of murder at just 15, a crime he has always maintained he's innocent of.

Of course, if you are yet to hear this story, time to hit that pause button, head on back and catch up.

As I'm sure you're aware, I am in no way an expert when it comes to the law in any country, let alone one I don't live in.

I am merely a man producing a show from his children's toy room, which is why after each one of these cases, we sit down and discuss them with the man they call the voice of reason.

Michael Leonard is a defence attorney with decades of trial experience and a practising defence attorney from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois.

So it's time to get Michael's opinion on the case of Evaristo Salas Jr.
