In 1987, a 20-year-old Marine, Thomas Koonce, was home on leave where he found himself in a tough situation trying to flee a mob in New Bedford. He ended up firing a warning shot unintentionally killing a bystander. He rejected a deal for manslaughter and was then convicted of first-degree murder, resulting in a mandatory sentence of life without parole. Even the prosecutor subsequently said the murder conviction was inappropriate. After 28 years in prison, Thomas Koonce has now been granted the first commutation hearing in the Commonwealth in six years. His attorney, Tim Foley, joins Dan to discuss the case.
