  • Summary

  • In this episode of Voiceless Behind Bars, Sarah dives into the case of Matthew Dorsey, a man who was sentenced to life in prison for fleeing from police during a traffic stop—despite no injuries or violence.

    With no appeals left, Matthew's story is a striking example of the flaws in the justice system, where even his own lawyer worked against him, and police testimony confirmed that there was no intent to harm.Sarah will also be speaking with Monika Shepard, Matthew’s head advocate, who has compiled a list of the key figures to contact in the push for a sentence reduction.

    Monika points out the importance of contacting state Senator Bryan Hughes of Smith County and Texas Senator John Coryn, both pivotal in advocating for justice in Matthew's case.Throughout the episode, Sarah emphasizes the importance of civic engagement, encouraging listeners to check their voter registration status—especially in states like Alabama, where voter rolls have been purged without notice.

    Listen in as Sarah sheds light on Matthew’s shocking case and what can be done to help reduce his sentence. Make sure to stay tuned for Sarah’s upcoming interview with Monika Shepard, where they'll discuss the advocacy efforts to bring Matthew home.Links mentioned:
