review note to say, oh walter was confessed in jail. there is another confession. a jailhouse snitch could come forward to say that he had admitted again he had killed barbara jean. but the story the snitch told went even further, about why ogrod committed a crime. the story was that walter had fallen in love with barbara jean s mother, sharon, who had lived across the street. so walter decided that if he murdered barbara jean, the police would blame john fahy and when john fahy was taken away, sharon would be so upset that he should come to walter and then that would be, it would fall for him. prosecutor or be no argued that this delusional fantasy was the true motive, details or be no said that he did not
five years later, he met tom lowenstein. he just had to dig and dig, he was relentless. in 2004, tom wrote a lengthy two part series for the philadelphia city paper, which included everything that he had learned about ogrod s case. a series of attorneys took on that case pro bono. we had the benefit of a good bit of journalistic work that have been done by tom lowenstein. but to build a strong argument for an appeal, with rollins and his team would have to do their own investigation. there is no physical evidence tying mr. ogrod to this crime. how he has presented himself throughout was i am innocent, i did not commit this crime. it took them seven years, but by 2011 they had amassed thousands of pages, undermining the prosecutor s case, including affidavits from snitch john hall and his wife phyllis, laying out the scheme against ogrod. how hopeful were you at that moment?
you were angry? i was pissed. i was pissed. you would think that after four years, there was some kind of progress. and it did not seem to be any. but two months later, that suddenly changed. when the detectives zeroed in on a new suspect, one whose name had never come up before. when you heard walter ogrod? what were you thinking? who the hell is walter ogrod? coming up! and arrest. heartbreaking. i hated him. the only thing i could think of was getting my hands around his throat. who was barbara jean s killer? they thought that she must have been killed on the block, very near to where she lived. the search for an answer would uncover some long buried secrets. you re looking at the actions of the prosecutor, or the police? both. the biggest part of this
failed to disclose evidence favorable to ogrod including a personality profile from their own experts, concluding that we ogrod is a person easily manipulated. frankly, it shocked me and i think it shocked some other people as to some of the evidence that was in that file that was not turned over. when i spoke with cummings in the spring of 2020, she told me that it was time to act. so what are you asking the court to do? we are asking the court to vacate the conviction, because we believe the conviction as it stands is a gros miscarriage of justice. it is an extraordinary admission, rarely heard from a prosecutor. in a case where you say, we got it wrong, and not only did we get it wrong, but we think this person is innocent, that ought to concern, scare anybody. but would it be enough to free walter ogrod?
