Lester Bower Jr: Controversial ExecutionMURDERISH Ep. 111

Published: June 6, 2022, 10 a.m.

The American Justice System was created, in part, to ensure that all Americans get fair and impartial\nadministration of justice. But, the system is by no means perfect and sometimes the wrong person is\nconvicted of a serious crime. But what happens when a person is sentenced to death and years later, new\nevidence is brought to light that casts doubt on their guilt? Lester Bower Jr. maintained his innocence for\ndecades and then, new witnesses came forward and backed up Bower\u2019s claim of innocence. Would this\nbe enough to save him from being executed?\n\nCheck us out: Visit Murderish.com for more info about the show and Creator/Host, Jami.
