Manage episode 316936043 series 3300892
From the day the FBI arrested him in 2003 and told him the government was seeking the death penalty, Benjamin Frandsen labored fiercely for his release. His case was overturned twice on appeal (his third trial will likely be overturned again this year), and he was found suitable for parole three times in a row. Five separate times he beat LIFE in California. After 18 years fighting a sentence that began as Life Without the Possibility of Parole, the Parole Board finally released him on December 10, 2021.
Debuting Season 1, Episode 1 at THE WORLD FAMOUS COIN ACADEMY. After he appeared as a special guest on The Boy Maca show, there was so much online engagement about his story. Maca decided that the only sensible thing to do was to give his guest his own podcast. In this inaugural episode, Ben talks with veteran DJ, music producer, and reverend, AJ Mora, about their shared journey. From the day the FBI escorted Ben to jail and announced that the Feds were SEEKING THE DEATH PENALTY, until Ben's release last month, AJ has been an integral part of the story. Tune in to hear more!
