Fmr Lieutenant John Kennedy was a police officer with the Detroit Police Force. A man who always wanted to help others, to protect the innocent and put the bad guys away. He's been shot at multiple times, hit by a car, arrested countless criminals and even worked close protection detail, ready to take a bullet for someone else.
However this officer with a spotless record is now facing the possibility of more than two years behind bars, for what the FBI say is his role in a Detroit Towing Company corruption scheme. Corruption that has seen multiple police officers and government officials face criminal charges for bribery.
Today I sit down with John who has just found out what his punishment will be.

"That shows the utter lack of concern and preparation for the case," says Michael Leonard, 'The Voice of Reason.'
He’s far from impressed with the defense attorney in the case of John Merritt, and he’s not holding back in today’s episode as we unpack the myriad issues surrounding this decades-old case.
John Merritt has been behind bars for longer than I’ve been alive. Like many of the men and women we speak to, John’s early life was marked by encounters with the law—mostly for petty, non-violent offences. He became trapped in a cycle, moving in and out of the system, until one day, while serving time for burglary, his life took an even darker turn.
A visit from a sheriff's investigator would change the course of his life forever, propelling him down an unexpected and terrifying path toward the death penalty for a crime he says he didn’t commit.
In the end, John faced a grim choice: life in prison or the electric chair.
