Letters from Sing Sing tells the story of a man convicted of murder, a journalist, and the letter that changed both of their lives. New episodes drop every Monday through March 27, 2023.
We make constant choices about how to respond to problems, confrontation, celebration, and news. How impactful are those mundane, everyday choices? Jon-Adrian thinks they have the power to change our entire lives.
Jon-Adrian Velazquez, convicted of murdering a retired NYPD officer in 1997, is serving 25 years to
life for a crime he didn't commit. But a Dateline investigation has revealed eyewitness recantations and
most recently withheld evidence that outlines Velazquez's innocence!
Despite being a light-skinned Latino who had never had
dreadlocks, even though there was no physical evidence linking him to the crime, and despite providing
phone records which corroborated his alibi and showed that he was talking to his mother during the time
of the crime, Mr. Velazquez was sentenced to 25 years to life.
