Hey guys welcome back to another episode of the ASD-Andre Shouldn’t Drink Podcast!  Today’s podcast episode will be a little different from what you’re probably accustomed to. To be fair, today’s podcast episode was never intended to be a podcast episode in the first place…

It’s actually a full length interview from a current investigation case that I’ve been working on… As in most of the cases that I take on, time is of the essence & this case is no different…

In today’s podcast episode, we talk to two brothers from the Washington DC area, Roja-John Stephenson and Ronell Stephenson. Since March of 2017, the brothers have been imprisoned in Ecuador for a crime they say they did not commit.

So here’s a little bit of the backstory:

On Mar. 11, 2017, around 5 a.m., the police raided the Stephenson brothers’ farm, where they ran a small resort and grew fruit and vegetables. The police said the neighbors had reported that the brothers were growing cocaine.

Oddly enough, The neighbors were with the police during the raid on the Stephenson brother’s property and even stranger… They began digging in the dirt. The neighbors allegedly “found” two bodies buried on the property, unbeknownst to the brothers. The group accused the Stephenson brothers as being the murderers, and they were arrested.

The Stephenson brothers were convicted and are serving a 34-year sentence in the Cárcel de Turi in Cuenca prison, in Ecuador.

There are so many twists & turns in this case, so many in fact, I cannot see how these two brothers were ever convicted in the first place…

This interview will hopefully shed some light & give you a lot more detail & context as to what really happened the night the two brothers were raided & arrested.

I have to quickly give a huge shoutout to DCBornRob on YouTube. He has directly assisted Roja-John & Ronell Stephenson by bringing more attention & awareness to their story… Individuals like DCBornRob deserve recognition for going above & beyond to help people. If you want to learn more about the brothers & their shocking story, please check out his amazing YouTube Channel! Let him know ASD-DOCS sent you.

With all of that said, let’s get right into this podcast episode!
