I just watched this show and it is beyond me how someone can be convicted of a crime like this with no physical evidence! It sickens me how vicious these attorneys can be regarding people's lives. I will continue to pray and support this guy because I absolutely believe that he is innocent. I have faith that things will turn out ok for him and his family- I just hope that they know that there are people out there who are supporting them. Good luck and hang in there!!

Caught a part of the show last night and what I saw was sickening. Seems like I saw this type of corruption of justice somewhere before (Joshua). What has happened to our justice system? It's time for everyone concerned to "man up", take responsibility and let Ryan go home.

this is actually a scary thought. all one of your friends has to do is SAY that you did something and give some details and boom you go to prison. makes me fearful for my son and his friends. wonder if any of them will do something bad..and then drag my son into it..totally innocent. something is wrong with our system.

I pray for him and also for a friend of mine that is in the same prison. Someone that did not speak English when he got incarcerated for a crime he did not commit. His lawyer did not speak any Spanish and the interpreter didn't say anything. Almost eleven years in prison... But who would represent an illegal immigrant without money? The great thing about all this is that he met God while in prison. PRAISE THE LORD! God is just and His justice will prevail.

Jose Interiano. Because I heard his story and read some of the information online. Probably a lot of the prisoners say they are innocent. I trust this one...
I am praying for Ryan.

This is another example of why we must have prison reform and to judistical system. God had to be with him for him to survive such an unjust punishment. I hope society can recover from our missing Josh's contributions for the years of his imprisonment, but as a mother of a son in prison, I do not see that ever happening.
My mission... to see the guards at prisons of minimum security be patrolling the borders where we have violent drug activity, and murder, and let the nonviolent people in prison get to work and make this a better place to be.
thank you for the opportunity to espress my feelings and concerns.
That was a great show... so very sad... life changing too.

Wow unbelieveable...But sad to say the Judicial System, and some of the people who represent it, are crooked, anything for a conviction.. I certainly believe and pray your friend is proven innocent and sent home.. Best wishes to both and may God Bless You...

I finally got a chance to watch this... It only took me a few months but between school and my kids I never get the chance to watch TV anymore... My heart breaks Ryan and his family. I have faith that one day he will be walking out of there just like you Josh, I really do believe that. Please keep us updated on any new info, I know you will. I will keep Ryan, his family, and the victims family in my prayers. Thank you.

This is frightening for all Americans. You can be put away for years with no evidence against you.

Thousands of innocent people are in jail. Prosecutors and detectives have a profit motive to put people in jail, and they often don't care if the person is innocent. Its about winning an argument for them, and not about justice. Then, we have a jury of 12 laymen who know nothing about the law. Pathetic, this sick world.

At 18, I was arrested in Illinois and sent to Missouri on a 1st degree murder charge. At 19, I was erroneously convicted of 2nd degree murder and sentenced to two consecutive 30 year sentences. I was sentenced on the victim's birthday. The victim's name was Angela M. Lawless.

The day following my sentence, I was sent to the Missouri Department of Corrections, where my sentence was illegally reconfigured to a 60. I was illegally placed under life sentence sanctions. I did a total of 16 years, 10 of which was spent in Jefferson City's notorious "Walls", once rumored to be the largest prison in the world and a place Time Magazine once deemed "The Bloodiest 47 Acres In America".

Two days after my 34th birthday, I was released and declared "innocent". I was completely exonerated by Judge Richard Callahan on February 17th 2009 and released on the 18th.

I'm a blessed, loved and fortunate man of God.

I'm not trying to be a "good Christian" and I accept that I'm not. I'm just a genuine, authentic, messed up, jacked up, screwed up, busted up, mistake prone, "too much", love struck, silly, incurable, delivered, justified, redeemed and forgiven child of the King and follower of Christ.

I'm a public speaker.

When contacting me for an engagement, please include the following information in your invitation:

. Dates, times and locations

. Travel arrangements

. Your affiliations

. Your vision and purpose

. Why me? and Why you?

. Offered amenities and compensation

When I speak, my goal is to reach into every life listening to me. Everyone has something they're going through. Everyone has something to overcome. No matter what the circumstance, whether legal, criminal, personal, financial, physical, mental or spiritual, people have something to overcome. That's where my message comes in and tries to help. This wasn't who I was before I was locked up. It's who I am now.

What's your testimony?

Here's a snap shot of mine.

I've been beaten with fists and bats, stabbed, shot at, mobbed and ganged up on. As a teenager, I was in a Kankakee Illinois Chicagoland gang and was once addicted to several drugs and alcohol. I've had someone attempt to hit me with a car, nearly fallen to my death as a child and again as a teenager. I've known several forms and types of abuse. I've boxed, lifted weights, wrestled, done some martial arts and am proficient in street fighting. I've overdosed on cocaine and fallen asleep in my own vomit several times as a teenager. I've literally been thrown through walls, been homeless and slept in the worst places, and once, for a matter of months, faced the unfortunate and undeserved prospects of dying by lethal injection while facing charges for a murder I did not commit. I did 16 years in prison as an innocent man in the state of Missouri. I've defended myself against prison rapists and was once hospitalized for a week due to a failed attack by multiple men in the late 90's, and yet ... I'm still here! I'm still breathing! I'm a man of purpose and honor. I'm confident in who I am. I've known enough near death experiences to fill up a thesis, but it's not these near death experiences and atrocities that define me. It's my living and, more specifically, my living in my salvation in Christ that defines me and makes me who I am, and when I'm finished and it's all been said and done, I want to be forever known as a man proficient in a few attributes, as a gentle, loving, honorable and selfless man, a husband, a father and a friend that reflects more of Him and less of me.

In light of my own faults, sins and frailty, of everything I've ever learned, I've learned this more than anything; more than the Cross, I need the Lord of the conquered Cross of sin and death. I need the Life Giver. I need Jesus. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I am unashamed.

"I was crushed...so much so that I despaired even of life, but that was to make me rely not on myself, but on the God who raises the dead." 2nd Corinthians 1:8,9
