It Couldn’t Happen Here is built on the pillars of education and activation. While we aim to provide a platform for those most directly affected to speak from, we also hope to inform and build community involvement behind the cases we cover, many of which are still in progress.

[Justice For Greg Lance @JusticeForGreg1]

On December 16th, we got the wonderful news that the judge ruled in Greg's favor to allow DNA and fingerprint testing to be done. We are grateful that the State did not appeal this decision. Testing is currently underway & we remain hopeful that it will ultimately be successful!

Please watch Edgewater, FL on @amcplus if you haven’t already, and visit the link in our bio for more information.

During the investigation of the murder of Norman Larzelere the media began highlighting aspects of his wife Virginia’s personal life as they began to believe she might be partially responsible.

[It Couldn’t Happen Here @ichhstories]

While serving her life sentence in prison, Virginia maintains her innocence and spends her days as the only teacher for continuing education to her fellow inmates.

Back in October when our Edgewater, FL episode aired on @sundancetv, we polled our followers on whether or not you believed media portrayal of crimes impacted their rulings and sentencing. The vast majority of you voted that you believe it does.

Prejudice was largely present in the jury that found Brandon Woodruff guilty of the double homicide of his parents, Dennis and Norma Woodruff. When asked, ten out of twelve of the jurors said they personally felt that homosexuality is morally wrong.

[It Couldn’t Happen Here @ichhstories]

So based on circumstantial evidence alone, and with the influence of sexual prejudice, Brandon was convicted and is serving a life sentence in prison.

Maybe this:

One month ago, we got to reunite with Greg Lance’s family and legal team for a hearing regarding DNA and fingerprint testing. Yesterday, we were informed that Judge Don Ash ruled in Greg’s favor.

[It Couldn’t Happen Here @ichhstories]

We are thinking of Greg, his family, and all of our ICHH families this holiday season. As always we appreciate this community for continuing to be active in supporting all of the cases we cover.

Please watch Turlock, CA on @amcplus to learn more about Korey Kauffman, as well as Frank Carson and the many other accused individuals who were deeply wronged at the hands of the state.

[It Couldn’t Happen Here @ichhstories]

A particularly troubling aspect (among many) of the case covered in our Turlock, CA episode is that law enforcement and investigators did not take much interest in solving the disappearance of Korey Kauffman until Frank Carson was implicated.

[It Couldn’t Happen Here @ichhstories]

Would Korey’s case ever have gotten the attention it deserves if Frank Carson hadn’t been a suspect? The events of this case did more harm than good, as Frank Carson suffered so intensely during his wrongful time served in jail that he passed away shortly after he was acquitted.

If you haven’t yet, please stream our Atwater, OH episode on @amcplus or Prime Video and visit the link in our bio to learn more about Tyrone Noling. @FreeTyNoling @theOhioInnProj

[It Couldn’t Happen Here @ichhstories]

Coerced confessions were largely at play in the conviction of Tyrone Noling and his alleged accomplices (who were only teens at the time) for the murder of Bearnhardt and Cora Hartig.

[It Couldn’t Happen Here @ichhstories]

They have since recanted these testimonies that Tyrone was the killer. This fact, along with a wide array of additional evidence, points to Tyrone’s innocence, yet he remains on death row today.
