The outstanding podcast “Wrongful Convictions” presents the case of OIP client Tyrone Noling, still on Ohio’s Death Row. Says host Jason Flom: “This is one of the most twisted, entangled, nonsensical and, I’m going to say, evil #wrongfulconvictions I know of.”
Tyrone is now in his 28th year on Ohio’s Death Row. The number of inconsistencies, loopholes and loose ends revealed here will make your head spin. And it’s incredibly sad, but as the podcast reveals, there is testable evidence available that could be conclusive that the state continues to oppose on procedural grounds. OIP staff attorney Brian Howe, who works on Tyrone’s behalf, says, “The fact that Tyrone is innocent, which I am personally 100 percent convinced of … you know, I’m not familiar with every Death Row case in the country, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the strongest case of innocence of anyone currently on Death Row.” Howe also believes, “If he were to get a fair trial today, with all of the evidence we know in front of a jury, there’s no chance he’d be convicted.”
You also hear directly from Tyrone in this podcast, who is remarkably composed considering everything he has endured. Among other things, he says, “I think the most important thing here is, (be) a voice. I’m an innocent person on Ohio’s Death Row, and I don’t belong here and I need help. Now’s the time. This is difficult, it’s difficult pleading for your life, especially when you haven’t been heard for a long time. So I would just like to thank everybody and to encourage them to look into my case, to get involved, to be a voice for me and to help me get out of here, because I’m innocent.”
