Show Notes
This is 22 Hours: A Second Look, where we revisit our original season with host Megan Cloherty. In this episode, you'll hear what happened when Megan reached out to Daron Wint in prison. You'll learn just how many prisons he's been transferred to in the last 10 years, why he filed suit while he was inside, and what it takes to communicate with a prisoner in a federal penitentiary. New episodes drop every Tuesday.
Original Episode - After Daron Wint’s conviction, federal prosecutors press the judge for the harshest possible sentence and, for the first time reveal his history of explosive rage, violent threats and assaults. At Daron’s sentencing, emotional statements from the two surviving Savopoulos daughters are read in court. As the last regular episode comes to a close, we reflect back.
