Part 2 of this exclusive interview with Gopal Balachandran, the lead appellate attorney handling the case of Subramanyam "Subu" Vedam, the man who spent 43 years in SCI Huntingdon for the murder of Tom Kinser, who was killed in December, 1980. While Subu proclaimed his innocense throughout his incarceration, it was Attorney Balachandran's discovery of one line of a handwritten note of then-Centre County D.A. Ray Gricar, that proved Subu was not Kinser's murderer.
Hear how Subu's conviction was overturned, and now confronts his newest plight: being held for deportation in the Moshannon Valley ICE Processing Center. It's a Commonwealth Beat Exclusive!
