Hiding in Plain Sight | Chapter 7

Justice | Chapter 10

After decades of secrecy, the truth is finally on trial. In a stunning turn, Judge Kubota orders the release of long-hidden evidence, shaking the very foundation of the case against Ian and Shawn Schweitzer. But as the Hawai’i Innocence Project prepares to expose the full scope of this wrongful conviction, the prosecution fights back—taking their battle to the state’s highest court in a desperate attempt to keep the past buried. Will the pursuit of justice finally bring accountability, or will the system protect itself at all costs? The stakes have never been higher. __ Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction [https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction].   You can visit www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org [http://www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org] and click the donate button to support them, their work and their clients.  To buy Amanda Knox’s new memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning, click HERE [https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/amanda-knox/free/9781538770719/].  Click HERE [https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2011-25687-001] to view Dr. Saul Kassin's study on how judges respond to confession errors.

Factual Innocence | Chapter 9

The fight for justice takes a shocking turn. As Ian and Shawn Schweitzer return to court, the prosecution refuses to acknowledge the truth—even in the face of undeniable DNA evidence. Instead, they introduce a new, twisted theory, one that defies logic and stretches the bounds of credibility. Then, a bombshell: the walls of deception begin to crack, but will it be enough? Truth is closing in. But so is time.

Probable Cause | Chapter 8

A DNA match. A suspect identified. A chance for long-overdue justice. But instead of an arrest, the investigation takes a shocking turn. With Hawai’i PD refusing to act, and prosecutors refusing to acknowledge the full weight of the evidence, the truth hangs in limbo. The system that once rushed to convict Ian and Shawn Schweitzer now drags its feet when faced with the real perpetrator. And then—before any charges can be filed—the suspect takes his secrets to the grave. What happens next will determine whether justice is finally served… or buried along with him. __ You can view the materials referenced in this episode at https://threepodcast.com/chapter-8-probable-cause/ [https://threepodcast.com/chapter-8-probable-cause/] Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction [https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction].   You can visit www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org [https://www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org/] and click the donate button to support them, their work and their clients.  Amanda Knox’s new memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning is available at www.amandaknox.com [https://www.amandaknox.com/].  If you have any information about the abduction and murder of Dana Ireland, we encourage you to contact the Hawai’i Innocence Project at contacthip@hawaiiinnocenceproject.org.  You can also contact Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300 and the Hawai’i Police Department at (808) 961-2380 or visit their website Hawaiipolice.gov to submit a tip.

Hiding in Plain Sight | Chapter 7

For decades, Dana’s killer remained a ghost. Until now. With a new weapon in their arsenal—cutting-edge forensic genealogy—investigators uncover a truth that had been buried in plain sight. In just 19 days, they identified a man who was never on law enforcement’s radar. A man who lived just miles from the crime scene. A man who walked free while innocent lives were destroyed. __ You can view the materials referenced in this episode at https://threepodcast.com/chapter-7-hiding-in-plain-sight/ [https://threepodcast.com/chapter-7-hiding-in-plain-sight/] Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction [https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction].   You can visit www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org [https://www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org/] and click the donate button to support them, their work and their clients.  Amanda Knox’s new memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning is available at www.amandaknox.com [https://www.amandaknox.com/].  If you have any information about the abduction and murder of Dana Ireland, we encourage you to contact the Hawai’i Innocence Project at contacthip@hawaiiinnocenceproject.org.  You can also contact Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300 and the Hawai’i Police Department at (808) 961-2380 or visit their website Hawaiipolice.gov to submit a tip.

Unknown Male #1 | Chapter 6

The DNA never lied. It never pointed to Ian, Shawn, or Frank—but to someone else entirely. As forensic experts unravel the evidence that put three innocent men behind bars, the case against them crumbles. The DNA, the tire tracks, the so-called bite marks—junk science and misplaced certainty stole decades of their lives. But if they didn’t do it…who did? __ You can view the materials referenced in this episode at https://threepodcast.com/chapter-6-unknown-male-1 [https://threepodcast.com/chapter-6-unknown-male-1] Please consider donating to Ian’s GoFundMe at https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction [https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-ian-schweitzer-after-wrongful-conviction].   You can visit www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org [https://www.hawaiiinnocenceproject.org/] and click the donate button to support them, their work and their clients.  Amanda Knox’s new memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning is available at www.amandaknox.com [https://www.amandaknox.com/].  If you have any information about the abduction and murder of Dana Ireland, we encourage you to contact the Hawai’i Innocence Project at contacthip@hawaiiinnocenceproject.org.  You can also contact Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300 and the Hawai’i Police Department at (808) 961-2380 or visit their website Hawaiipolice.gov to submit a tip.
