Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files
This is Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files. A podcast where one man’s fight for freedom begins with a single question: Was justice served… or just buried? I’m a former Military Police Officer with 20 years of service. Not here to spin stories. Not here to defend the guilty. I’m here because I read the files. All of them. Discovery. Transcripts. Appeals. And when something doesn’t add up — I say it out loud. This season, I’ll take you inside one case: A man known only as ‘The Client.’ Convicted on testimony — No gun. No DNA. No forensic link. Just a story the system chose to believe. Over nine episodes, I’ll walk you through the evidence — The crime scene. The witnesses. The autopsy. And the truth buried in the file. This isn’t entertainment. This is an investigation. I’m WARSTONE, and this is Locked Up. Episode 1: The Truth Is in the File.

Roger reveals the raw, personal story behind the legal setback: from a chance "near-miss" encounter with the Pastor at a legal event, to the heartbreaking 1:00 AM phone call that changed everything. While the lawyers were focused on attacking the investigation and making "insignificant paperwork mistakes," they missed the mountain of evidence that proves the state's case is a physical...
Episode 9: "The Final Appeal" – Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files
In the powerful finale of Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files, Roger Warstone hands the torch to a formidable new legal team—and watches as The Client’s fight for freedom ascends to the highest court in the land.

In the final episode of this season, “The Witness Locked Up,” host and private investigator dives deep into his last and most crucial task: interviewing "Victim 2," the very man whose testimony helped convict his client. This person is now also incarcerated, serving a murder charge, but a face-to-face meeting with him is the last piece of the puzzle needed to prove his client's innocence.

In this episode of Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files, the investigation shifts from auditing the past to fighting for the future. I meet with the pastor and a new lawyer to present my findings. We expose the scientific impossibilities of the prosecution’s case—a contact wound that doesn't match the alleged gun and a bullet that doesn't match the caliber. With a new legal team now armed with undeniable evidence, our fight for...
n this episode of Locked Up, host Roger Warstone recounts the most disheartening moment of the case: the jury's verdict. Despite overwhelming physical and forensic evidence pointing to The Client's innocence, the jury ignored the facts and delivered a guilty verdict, sentencing a man to life in prison. The episode details the prosecution's desperate and emotionally-driven closing arguments, which focused on unreliable witness testi...
In this episode of Locked Up: The Wrongful Conviction Files, we open the court transcripts and go inside the courtroom. As a detective, I’ve already exposed the lies and impossibilities in the police investigation. Now, we'll see how the prosecution convinced a jury with a case built on nothing but a story. The evidence was there, but it was never shown. This is how a wrongful conviction happens in plain sight.
In this episode, we follow the one piece of evidence that can't lie: the victim’s body. We go inside the autopsy report of Victim 1, the deceased, to find the answers no witness would give. But the truth is also found in the smallest details, like the bullet fragment a mother recovered from her surviving son, Victim 3. What does the forensic evidence—from the specific wounds on the deceased to the fragment recovered from the other ...
In this episode, we follow the physical evidence—or the lack of it—that should have been central to the case. We dig into the story of the alleged murder weapon, a gun that was reportedly stolen six days after the shooting. We examine the police’s failed attempt to connect it to the crime through a bullet fragment given to them by a victim’s mother. The entire narrative of the crime, built on contradictory witness statements and a ...
In Episode 1, we looked at the crime scene, the vehicle, the victims, and the arrest.
Now, in Episode 2: The Story That Didn’t Add Up — I’ll show you how the prosecution built its case on a single witness… whose story contradicts the evidence, the timeline, and even the reality of North Philly street life.
This is Locked Up. Let’s begin.”
A man is in prison for murder — but no gun, no DNA, and no forensic evidence ties him to the crime. In Episode 1, a former Military Police Officer and private investigator reviews the file, reveals the crime scene, and begins to uncover a case built on one story — and too many unanswered questions.
