Earwitness
Lava for Good PodcastsOne July night in 1995, Deputy Sheriff William G. Hardy was shot behind the Crown Sterling Suites hotel in Birmingham, Alabama. At the same time as the murder, at least ten people saw Toforest Johnson four miles away, at a popular nightclub called Tee's Place.

- Losing faith in the system
Very well told, well researched story of a stunning miscarriage of justice for a man wrongly convicted and sent to death row. As discussed in the podcast, how is Taforest still on death row when both the past and present prosecutors are asking for another trial? I hope his story has a happy ending soon.

Out of ALL the podcasts I have listened to none has ever made me more upset than this one! I found myself “arguing” with people who clearly can’t hear me! Lol It was shocking to hear all the blatant injustices that happened here. How do these people live with themselves, do they not have a conscience? Yes, what happened to Officer Hardy should be dealt with and prosecuted to extent that the law will allow, but not to an innocent man. I was shocked by all the problems in this case!! I could go o... more

I don’t usually write reviews for podcasts, but as an avid long series true crime listener, I hadn’t heard about this podcast until two years after it was dropped. It’s one of the best I’ve listened to. Excellent reporting and storytelling.
