The Final Appeal

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.

After exposing coerced testimony, mismatched ballistics, and a pattern of police misconduct, Roger’s on-the-ground detective work becomes the foundation for a historic appeal. With the unwavering support of a determined pastor and a brilliant attorney who tracks systemic corruption like a forensic map, the case rockets through Pennsylvania’s appellate courts—and against all odds, lands before the United States Supreme Court.

Only 1% of petitions are accepted by the Court. This one made the cut. Now, as briefs are filed and oral arguments loom, the nation waits in silence for a decision that could not only free an innocent man—but expose a dangerous flaw in America’s justice system.

This isn’t just about one conviction. It’s about truth, accountability, and what happens when ordinary people refuse to look away.

As Roger reflects on his role in this journey—and prepares to share his own story of military injustice in the next chapter—he leaves listeners with a challenge: If you see injustice, will you act?

The gavel hasn’t fallen yet. But the final appeal has been made. And history is watching.
