Blind Plea

Blind Plea

In 2017, Deven Grey, a young mother, shot and killed her abusive partner in a remote trailer in rural Shelby County, Alabama. She claimed self-defense and filed a Stand Your Ground claim. Instead of freedom, she was handed a “blind plea” – an option to take an unknown sentence in exchange for pleading guilty. As a Black woman who shot and killed a white man in Alabama, she did the only thing she could: She took the plea. Deven’s sentence became the final link in a chain of deceit, haunted land, generational trauma, false identity, coercive control, and a broken justice system. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Liz Flock, Blind Plea asks: Who do we believe, and why? And in America, who has the right to self defense and a fair trial?

The Letter

The Letter

On a peaceful evening in 1996, Jorge Benvenuto walked down a mountain hillside with a gun, approached a teen couple, and pulled the trigger, killing Zach Snarr and wounding Yvette Rodier in her head, leg, and shoulder.

At age 19, the killer faced the prospect of life in prison, but avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty. More than two decades later, in a letter penned by the killer, Jorge sought forgiveness and transformed the lives of Zach's parents, Sy and Ron Snarr. Every Monday, Zach's mother eagerly anticipates a phone call and conversation with someone she dearly loves. The man on the other end of the call is the man who killed her son.
