Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

In this Mountain Talk Monday, WMMT's Benny Becker takes us to a special gathering at the Appalachian Media Institute's Boone Motor Building Youth Drop-In Center to hear the story of death row exoneree - Randy Steidl. Randy Steidl spent 17 years in Illinois prisons, including 12 on death row, before his exoneration in 2004. He was wrongly convicted and sentenced to die for the 1986 murders of Dyke and Karen Rhoads. But an Illinois State Police investigation in 2000 found that local police had severely botched their investigation, and that the case was riddled with political corruption that led all the way to the Illinois Governor’s office.
