The Coffin Reward That Inspired Police Misconduct

This podcast episode focuses on the wrongful conviction of Scott Davis for the murder of David Coffin. They argue that the conviction lacks integrity due to significant misconduct and negligence by law enforcement and prosecutors. Key arguments include: the prosecution’s failure to investigate David Coffin’s drug use, which could have revealed alternative suspects, and the prosecution’s suppression of evidence that Scott Davis’ ex-wife, Megan, possessed guilty knowledge of Coffin’s death before anyone else, which she later lied about. The sources also highlight the loss of crucial evidence, the potential for witness tampering due to a large reward offered for conviction, and the questionable conduct of prosecutors in the case. Finally, they emphasize the importance of the Sarah Stephens Memo, an independent assessment that concludes the case lacks integrity and suggests further investigation into potential alternative suspects.
