49. Tastes Like An Innocence Project
About this Episode
On this special edition of JUST THE TIP-STERS, Melissa travels south into deep Orange County California, to the campus of the University of California Irvine School of Law, where she spends a fascinating just-under-an-hour with Super Ninja Justice Lawyer Annee Della Donna, a private practice attorney in Laguna Beach who started and leads Innocence Rights Orange County. Together with a hearty band of law students from the UC Irvine Law School, Ms. Della Donna's homegrown innocence project has already worked on several impressive cases - including the case of the man she believes was wrongly convicted of the 1979 brutal murder of Joan Virginia Anderson - which, some of you Tip-Sters may remember, bore a lot of resemblance to the rapes and murders committed by the Golden State Killer (!). Della Donna and her team have convinced the Orange County D.A. to reopen that case...and they are now hot on the trail of a cold case also familiar to Just The Tip-Ster devotees - that of Garden Grove housewife Patricia Neufeld, whose murder in 1978 also looks suspiciously like the work of our old pal EARONS/GSK. A fascinating discussion with a remarkable champion for justice - and her personal story of her own possible...well... probable...encounter with you-know-who when she was a 17 year-old high school girl...

SOUNDS LIKE TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT: ALABAMA BOTCHED EXECUTIONS
I do not have the answer. I feel like those much smarter than me do not either. But botched executions should not happen. Using nitrogen hypoxia might be more humane than a botched lethal injection but how do we know? One thing I do know is that the listeners to this podcast are some of the most brilliant and compassionate souls. I am open to hearing your thoughts, pro or con.

Can one woman who is determined to find the Lost King actually achieve this?!?! You bet she can. Phillipa Langley did have some help. Some. But she is a force of nature and she alone set in motion a group, a village of researchers, anthropologists, genetic genealogists, experts in many fields to dig up a parking lot and lo and behold, 500 hundred years later, Richard WAS there. The film "The Lost King," is her story. AND Richard's story.
