Final Appeal episodes

[marlins3]

Is there any way to watch the Final Appeal episodes? It doesn't seem like any of the segments are on Amazon. The Tony Miller update is as well as the Jeffrey MacDonald case. I am looking for full episodes/segments. I have never seen the Thomas Drake, Dan Montecalvo, Steve Shores, or Paul Ferrell cases to my knowledge.

Drake, Montecalvo, Shores, Ferrell, and the entire Tony Miller segment are available on Amazon and Youtube...but they are the Farina-hosted episodes. However, after seeing the full Ferrell "Final Appeal" episode, I can assure you that the Farina version is very close to the original. There may be some interviews trimmed here and there, but it's largely the same.

Thank you. Is there an episode guide for the Farina episodes? I guess I have to resort to watching those..it's better than not seeing the segments at all.

-Tony Miller is on Season 7 Episode 4

-Thomas Drake is on Season 4 Episode 15

-Paul Ferrell is on Season 5 Episode 6

-Dan Montecalvo is on Season 3 Episode 5

-Jeffrey MacDonald is on Season 8 Episode 1

-Port Chicago Mutiny is on Season 4 Episode 19

-Steve Shores is on Season 5 Episode 17

That is every known segment which was either featured, or supposed to be featured, on the "Final Appeal" spinoff. To my knowledge, outside of MacDonald, none of them made it to the Lifetime reruns. And I have only ever seen a complete episode from the "Final Appeal" spinoff which featured the Ferrell case.

Thank you very much! Watching the Farina shows instead of the Stack episodes is similar to playing with a range ball when you have a bag full of Pro V1's. But since that is the only source for those segments, I have no choice.

I greatly appreciate what you did.

I never thought of it in those terms, but it's a perfect analogy. Well done!

There are recordings out there for MacDonald, Ferrell and Montelcalvo. PM me.

I had never seen this episode before (although is this the right name? I watched 5.17 and it was the final appeal of Rolando Cruz, but whatever)...

Anyway I had never seen "Rolando Cruz" and all I can say is Curseword Curseword Curseword.

WTF is wrong with prosecutors sometimes?

It's not the one with Stack, it's the version with Farina.

Now I've watched them all, opinions rendered.

While we are on the subject, the Thomas Drake one struck me as particularly hilarious. First off, it never should have seen the light of day - especially when you read about all the stuff that the segment "forgot" to mention.

The only reason it did, of course, is because of the compelling vignette about his wife's sudden "memory" that Drake hadn't done it - followed by her equally sudden re-forgetting the moment before she was to take the stand.

I'm 99.9% sure she was trolling him and getting a small measure of revenge, which is kinda bad but also kinda an LOL tbh.

I agree with these opinions. After reading one of the appeals of Steve Shores, I am convinced that this was the most balanced "Final Appeal" segments that they ever did.

I know they had the short lived show Final Appeal but were segments like Michael Self and Michael Scott Martin just segments titled Final Appeal? Both of those should have been not guilty by the way

To my knowledge both were just segments intended for the main UM show.

You know what I noticed? All of the ones who obviously did it were white, and all of the ones who were actually wrongfully accused were black.

I am sure this is just a coincidence.
