Jason Carroll is serving life in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The only evidence against him? His own taped confession. More than 30 years later, is it possible to get to the truth – and who gets to tell it?From the creators of the hit podcast Bear Brook comes A True Crime Story. In the show’s second season, host Jason Moon returns with a new, even more complex story: In 1989, New Hampshire police charged three men in the murder of a pregnant woman named Sharon Johnson. But only 19-year-old Jason Carroll was convicted. Police built the case against him around his own taped confession.For more than 30 years, that story has profoundly shaped the lives of many people. A True Crime Story is about what happens when the official narrative is challenged. When alternate versions are told by lawyers – and podcasters – as part of a mounting effort to free Jason Carroll from prison and clear his name. Host Jason Moon documents how those involved grapple with the idea that the prevailing story about who killed Sharon Johnson could be a lie. And he brings a fresh examination of the evidence to a state that has never exonerated anyone for murder.

Omg how did his mother let this happen, holy fuck
your story telling abilities are exception. 'on this side of that thin red line' 👏👏👏
this series is fantastic. I thought you had pivoted to a different story. tied in so well together
Too bad Rabia had to be involved in this. I can't take her seriously when she actually believes Adnan is innocent.
what the hell does this episode have to do with the main story ⁉️
this season is going around in circles...was interested but too many characters and not enough time spent to distinguish the difference. Too bored to pay attention maybe. I'm to the point where I don't care who killed this woman. oh well.
I hate to say it, but his parents are the only reason he is in jail right now. The investigation may have been flawed, but to get to the point where you don't even beleive your own son who is crying and begging for his life, on his knees, you have failed as a parent. They were even wholeheartedly dedicated to sabotaging his esefense and send him to jail. How disconnected do you have to be. It's so sad.
the mother is a c.unt
Unbelievable. Dude literally had a kidnapped child for the purposes of molestation and they put him away for some lesser just to clear their docket. Just for him to go on to kill more women and children. Awesome job!
Wellcome back Jason
Great podcast, well written and easy to follow, given the complexity of the woven stories. Can't believe I've only just stumbled across this, given the amount of true crime I watch/listen to, and the impact the scientific breakthroughs have had. Would definitely recommend a listen.
fascinating. so well written and presented. thank you to everyone driven to unravel the mystery and bring the victims into the light.
With all the twists and turns it’s amazing how this was tracked. Truth IS stranger than fiction. Congrats on the team of sleuths!
