Start with the evidence — not the rumor.
In this episode of LFTG Radio, we speak directly with Nahkeen Lewis-Bush, calling in from Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he is serving a 40-year sentence for a case that, according to the record, involved no victim testimony, no shot fired, and sworn affidavits clearing him of responsibility.
This conversation begins with the human reality behind the paperwork: life on state parole, sleeping in a rescue mission, scraping together money on a rainy night in Syracuse — and how a paid ride would later become the foundation of a prosecution’s theory. From there, we move deliberately into the documents that define freedom or confinement in New York State: grand jury minutes, affidavits, discovery failures, and alleged violations of the state’s speedy trial rules.
Nahkeen explains why the grand jury minutes are central to his claim of innocence, asserting they show the alleged victim never described himself as a victim and never appeared at trial — despite jurors being told he would. We examine the prosecution’s shifting theory, the absence of witness statements, and sworn affidavits from co-defendants stating Nahkeen did nothing. We also discuss plea negotiations that dropped from 15 years to 6, the pressure of trial penalties, and the unsettling reality that he has now served more time than the offer he refused.
Inside the walls, Nahkeen describes surviving through faith, prayer, and relentless self-education, while helping others navigate appeals and post-conviction relief — a reminder that in a system built on deadlines and disclosures, knowledge can move cases when institutions stall.
This is not a debate episode. It is a record-based conversation.
If justice is supposed to be the product of due process plus facts, this case raises serious questions about whether either was honored.
