The next morning, Alvin and I meet Greg in the lobby of a very beige hotel near the airport.
voice-verified
Joining us is another lawyer who got in last night, Jeremy Shepers.
voice-verified
Jeremy, if you can't tell already, is pretty much a photo negative of Greg.
voice-verified
They both grew up in Michigan, but that's where the similarities stop.
voice-verified
Jeremy is sarcastic, where Greg is earnest.
voice-verified
A millennial in flannel and jeans, where Greg opts for the jacket and tie.
voice-verified
Jeremy is essentially Greg's co-captain on this case.
voice-verified
He works at a federal public defender office, where he runs a capital habeas unit, CHU for short.
voice-verified
CHUs often get involved in the final run-up to an execution, bringing a whole team of lawyers and investigators on board.
voice-verified
Today's plan is to try to get the local press interested in their mission to test the DNA.
voice-verified
Greg thinks if there are news stories about the problems in David Wood's case, maybe that will push Montoya to meet with him.
voice-verified
So we head to KVIA, El Paso's ABC station.
voice-verified
And it's there, talking to the nightly news anchor, that the lawyers get their first glimmer of good news.
voice-verified
We get to KVIA in the early afternoon.
voice-verified
The place is decorated for Christmas, garland and tinsel everywhere.
voice-verified
The nightly news anchor here is named Stephanie Valle, and she greets us with a big camera-ready smile and walks us into a conference room.
voice-verified
Stephanie already knows David Wood's case pretty well.
voice-verified
A few years ago, she covered the desert murders on her podcast called Borderland Crimes.
voice-verified
Greg heard it and was not a fan.
voice-verified
He thought it made his client sound stone-cold guilty.
