Update: DNA Results | "I'm a Gun Man"

Carol shares the results of DNA testing on newly recovered evidence in the case of Phyllis Cottle’s brutal assault.The results are infuriating and…baffling.The Ohio Innocence Project prompted a forensic review of evidence, raising the possibility that Samuel J. Herring, the man convicted of the crime, may be innocent. Herring, now 67 years old and wheelchair-bound, has spent nearly 40 years behind bars. He has maintained his innocence.Today we know the truth.And while it leads to a man who is definitely guilty, it also raises questions. EPISODE CREDITSHost - Carol CostelloProducer - Chris AiolaAudio Engineer - Sean Rule-HoffmanProduction Director - Brigid CoyneExecutive Producer - Gerardo OrlandoOriginal Music - Timothy Law SnyderCleveland Channel 5’s story on Samuel Herring: https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/investigations/new-testing-shows-dna-of-akron-rapist-found-on-victims-clothingThe Marshall Project’s story on Samuel Herring: https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/12/06/dna-ohio-innocence-project-conviction-integrity-unit-prisonFor additional information about Phyllis Cottle’s case, please visit our website (www.carolcostellopresents.com), Carol’s Facebook page (Facebook.com/CarolLMU) and Instagram page (www.instagram.com/carolcostello).Learn more about your ad choices.
