What do Batman, 25 million dollars and Chicago have in common?... The wrongful incarceration of a 13 year old. Thaddeus “T.J.” Jimenez was arrested for murder when he was 13. He spent 16 years behind bars until a judge ruled that he’d been wrongfully convicted. He was freed and awarded $25 million in compensation for his lost years. Then, T.J. became a self-appointed leader of a street gang.
Tune in this week as Ollie takes James to Chicago to explore the story of T.J. Jimenez, with Motive - Season 1. Brought to us by WBEZ Chicago, Motive is a true crime podcast hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Frank Main, with original reporting from the Chicago Sun-Times.
It's a cruel sociological experiment. Lock up a 13-year-old boy for a murder that he swore he didn't commit. Release him as a 30-year-old man. Then, give him $25 million and see what happens. With his money, Jimenez could have done anything. Instead, he built a gang, unleashed chaos, shot a guy on video and posted it to YouTube, and ended up back in jail. And the big question is … why?
