Uh And we continue with our American stories. Up next, we have a story from Jim McCluskey. co-author of the book entitled When the Truth is All You Have. We start off with Jim sharing a bit about his childhood and early adult life. My brother and I were made to go to Sunday school, but mom and dad were completely unchurched.
And so they would just drop us off and pick us up.
So one day, when I was in fourth grade, I said to dad, How come Rich and I have to go to Sunday school and you and Mom don't go to church?
Well, that stung them, I guess. Maybe mom and dad were feeling a little guilty before that, but I provoked them by that question. And then they started going to the same church that I was going to Sunday school. They became stalwart. and very active and members of this Bethany Presbyterian Church in Hammertown.
Dad became a very important lay leader of the church. When I was in grade school, My Christian faith was very important to me. In fourth, fifth, and sixth grade. I was fearless at that time because of my Christian faith. In other words, I wouldn't go along with the crowd.
I wouldn't, peer pressure didn't phase me in grade school. But once I hit junior high, then I fell into that. Warning too. Please my peers, and their values became my values. My faith was really.
compromised. When I was in high school, I'll never forget this. I saw a uh a short documentary on the nightlife in Tokyo. With all the bars and the beautiful Japanese women in their kimonos and gaiter shoes walking the streets and all the lights. I was just fascinated with that mysterious city and that's where I wanted to go.
I wanted to go to Tokyo. I wanted to be a quote-unquote international businessman. Always had this obsession to to work overseas. International. I thought that was again A great way to live a life.
But I didn't know specifically what I wanted to do, so I decided, well, I'm gonna I'm gonna join the Navy. And so I went to Officer Candidate Training School in Newport, Rhode Island, in the summer of 64. Wild OCS, when you're nearing graduation, which I did in November of 64. You fill out what they call a dream sheet. My first choice that I put on my dream sheet was Sure Duty Japan.
And that's exactly what I got. That, in and of itself, is a miracle. The Navy gave me what I wanted. And they assigned me to the communications station in Yakusuka, Japan, which is about an hour's train ride south of Tokyo along the Tokyo Bay. as a commission 22-year-old Navy officer.
I'm on my way. to the land that I've always wanted to go to, Japan. Three years later, then I was separated from the service. And now I'm going to the American Graduate School for International Management in Glendale, Arizona. to get a degree to return to Tokyo.
in a business capacity. I graduated from uh the American Graduate School for International Management in October of 68. You know, I wanted to go to Japan, but I couldn't find a company willing to send me to Japan, and Tokyo in particular.
So I borrowed twelve hundred dollars from my parents. As a stake And I flew to Tokyo. Without a job. No prospects for a job. But I did have the name.
Of a man by the name of Bud Inglesby who had started out this. Management consulting firm and market research firm called Coral, and he hired me. And so I worked for Bud for three or four years. as it turned out. unbeknownst to me or the staff of Coral.
Inglesby secretly Sold coral to a joint venture between the Fuji Bank of Japan and in those days the first National Citibank of New York. Dell City Corp. and it became readily apparent to me that I had no future in that firm. I decided. It's time to go home.
to Philadelphia. You can use that, you can.
Now here we are. In the summer of 1974, I've come back from Japan disillusioned, disheartened, Feeling betrayed, by Inglesby. But now I'm looking for a whole new career. And I wrote a letter to 25 different consulting firms including Hey local. international management consulting firm called Hey, H A Y, hey Associates.
Hay was the only company who was interested It hiring me.
So I was one for twenty five, but I struck gold with a one, Hey Associates.
Now at the same time. During those five years, I felt that An important part of my earlier life, my boyhood life, if you will. Hi, it's gone completely off track. I had left the church. I want nothing to do with the church.
When I came home from Buckdell in my freshman year, I said to Dad, Dad, I'm never going to church again. Yeah. And so he didn't darken a church doorstep. From what I was 19 until I'm now working for Hay in the 70s. in my early thirties.
Okay. but I felt the need to go back. to church and rekindle by faith. Because I felt that my lifestyle was that uh A good one. My moral compass had going south.
So I joined the Paleo Presbyterian Church. which was very close to my house in Pioli, Pennsylvania. Uh and um The minister there was Dick Streeter, with whom I'm still close with today. His message was to wash the other's feet, to give of yourself. to help the other.
to follow the The the Gospels of Christ and And that started to really take hold within me. I was starting to become disillusioned, even though things were going well. with the corporate life. I felt I was leading a shallow street. Superficial.
Self-centered life. And in in reading the words of the Gospels where Where Jesus talks about. What it means to be a disciple and to follow him.
Now I felt I was a hypocrite. leading one life In darkness? At the same time, Steep to the scriptures.
So this was a battle going on within me. And finally I decided after consulting only with Dick Streeter. that I think Christ was calling me to leave the business world. And Become a ordained Presbyterian church pastor. Which I saw that Dick Streeter, the minister of this large congregation, he was touching the.
The hearts and souls. And life-changing Way of a lot of his parishioners and even people in the community. I wasn't touching anybody's heart or soul. I wasn't serving anyone. except myself.
And this really started to bother me deeply. And I wanted a life where I felt I was. serving others in a a purposeful, authentic meaningful way. And I felt The church pastorate was the way to do it, just like Streeter. and seventy nine I decided to leave.
Not only leave hay, but leave the business world. and go go to Princeton Theological Seminary. And when I told my boss, Bill Dinsmore, It was the second top. Executive in the firm. I said, Bill, there's something I need to tell you.
His first words were, Jim, I didn't even know you went to church.
So I was still leading two different lives. It was time for me. Not that they cared all that much, but to tell the world who I really am. what's really important to me.
So off to the seminary I went.
So for the next three years I'm going to be at the seminary. Turn that degree. Two of those three years, all of Those students, all of us were required. To do field education work in hospitals. Churches.
I chose Trenton State Prison. It was just a matter of curiosity. I've never been in a prison. I had no experience in any regard, in any way with the criminal justice system. But who are these people?
Who are these inmates? And so I said, I'm going to join the program as a student chaplain. Yeah. And you're listening to Jim McCluskey tell the story of his journey from businessman, international businessman. The pastor.
and in the end returning to his youth. and that connection between the soul, his heart, and the rest of his life. When we come back, we're going to join Jim on that journey. the journey of becoming a pastor. More of Jim McCluskey's story.
Here. on our American story.

This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bo and Yang. This is Bo and Yang from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bo and Yang. You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on. I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try QP Mayo.
Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Mm-hmm. Most mayonnaise use whole eggs.
Cupie only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything: egg sandwiches, fries, burgers. Chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it. Put it on just about anything.
Then you'll understand. Cupie, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Summer is winding down and life is ramping back up, and Alive is here for all those moments that matter.

From sunup to sundown, you will be ready for whatever's next. Feel a leave. Use as directed for minor aches and pains. And we continue with our American stories, and we've been listening to Jim McCluskey tell his story, those words earlier in that segment, and in his story, My Moral Compass. And that was the swing and determining factor in this big pivot.
We left off with Jim deciding to return to church and reignite the faith he'd had as a boy. Going back to church inspired him to leave the business world. and pursue a seminary degree. While there, he had to choose required field education work. And he chose of all places Trenton Yeah.
Prison. Let's pick up where we last left off. I was assigned to the maximum security unit. He assigned me to two different cell blocks, each containing 20 men. In their cells, 24-7.
Our our role was to go sell to sell two afternoons a week. Every Tuesday and Thursday, from one to four o'clock in the afternoon and just be their friend. Talk to them, not to evangelize. to talk about whatever they wanted to talk about. One of the forty men there.
Was a man by the name of Jorge de los Santos, nicknamed Chiefy. He was the only one. who was telling me That he was an innocent man, he did not do what he was convicted for. and that he was serving a life sentence. for a Newark, New Jersey murder.
Now We were forewarned. Do not, under any circumstances, get involved in either their personal Yeah. Uh legal. problems, situation. And if you do, You're out.
You're out of here. Never to come back again. Up until My tenure as a student chaplain. That had been strictly enforced and obeyed. by all those who came before me in years before.
Chief, when I arrived at his cell. which was midway down one cell block. All he would talk about. was his that he's innocent. He got framed by the prosecutors and the police in Newark.
He never killed anybody. And he was in prison. For life. For the a botched arm robbery attempt of a used car lot. in Newark where Whoever did this Shot and killed.
the proprietor of that used car lot.
Now at that point... I'd never been a juror. I've never been in a courthouse. I had absolutely zero connection or experience with our criminal justice system. I believed at that time.
that if you were convicted then certainly you were guilty. That the police and prosecutors would never countenance supporting perjury or. in any way presenting anything other than incredible, substantial evidence of guilt. that they were as honest as the day is long. And yet, here this man is.
Now, he was 28 years old. One, he was convicted. He's 34, 35 by the time I encounter him, and he was very honest and open with me about his lifestyle. He was a heroin addict. of Puerto Rican descent, raised in the harshest of housing projects in Newark, New Jersey.
Two witnesses convicted him and sent him away. One was an eyewitness. who claimed that when he was driving his tow truck, By the used car lot, he heard gunshots. And then he looked in his rear view mirror. And he claimed to have seen Chiefy and another man who he identified as Lamont Harvey fleeing the crime scene.
The second evidence used against Chiefy. was a man by the name of Richard Delesante. who claimed that while he and Chiefy were in the Essex County jail, Chiefy awaiting trial based only on the eyewitness account. The Delasante claimed the chief confessed the crime to him. both witnesses against Chiefy.
We're drug addicts. Delesante in particular had an extensive criminal record, although That was misrepresented at trial. As I said to chief, I said, Come on, you're telling me not only that you're innocent. But that the p that the prosecutors framed you?
Now why in the world would they frame you, Chief? You were a junkie. you were a basically a throwaway. And why would they Conjure up and go to all that trouble. to frame somebody like you.
He said, that's just the point. The police convinced the eyewitness to identify me and Harvey because that helped them clear a case. That's all they care about, clearing cases. The prosecutors Well, you were a prosecutor. You want to get convictions.
And if you don't get convictions and you go to trial, Then when you come back to the prosecutor's office, You're not coming back with the with what you uh were there for in the first place, a conviction.
So I had a very difficult time. Believing that. Over time. Three months, September, October, November. I finally said to Chief, I said, Look, I'm not supposed to do this.
But I'm going to get your trial transcripts. I want to read what the state has to say.
So I did. I was able to get his trial transcripts. And I read them over the Thanksgiving holiday of 1980. 2,000 pages of of documents. And basically, what I learned in reading the transcripts was essentially.
which Eify had confirmed. And then I learned that Richard Delesante Had not only given a jailhouse confession against Chiefy, but he did the same thing against his first cousin, Danny Delesante. He claimed at Danny's trial. That Danny confessed the crime to him, and Danny got convicted based on Richard Delasante's jailhouse confession and sent away to life.
So I read the transcripts. And now I come back from Thanksgiving.
Now we're in early December. And Chiefy says to me, He said, look. You've asked me a million questions and I've answered every question that you've posed as truthful as possible.
Now I have a question for you. Chiefy said to me. I said, what's that? He said, Do you believe I'm innocent? And I said, well, Yeah, I do believe you're innocent.
Then he threw out the $64,000 question.
Well, what are you going to do about it? He says to me, I said, Chief, what do you mean, what am I going to do about it?
Well, there's nothing I can do. I I you know, this is uh this is This is way beyond my My my thirty seven years of experience in life I don't know anything about murder. I don't know anything about. Uh trials and criminal justice and DAs and police, I know nothing about. It's a whole new world for me.
He said, well. Chip. I've been on my hands and knees praying to God. for someone to believe in me. and work to free me.
Whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not. You're that man. God brought you to my cell. to work to free me and bring me home. to my wa wife Alina.
Who has stuck by me all these years, even in my drug addiction days? What are you gonna do? he said. Go back to your nice, safe little secure seminary. And pray.
that somebody We'll help free Chiefy. We'll help rescue him. from this wrongful conviction that you believe occurred? I said, well, yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking about doing. He said If you leave me behind, Knowing that I believing I'm innocent.
Then You're not really a man of faith. How can you square that with God? Yeah. And you've been listening to Jim McCluskey tell one heck of a tale. And it gets me to thinking about the two questions in the Bible, the first question God ever asks man.
which of course he asks, Adam, where art thou? and the first question that man ever asks God, and that's Catan, saying, Am I my brother's keeper? And here is Jim on his faith journey in seminary trying to fashion an answer to both of those questions. God's and men's. We continue with this remarkable story.
Jim McCluskey's story here. on our American stories. Liberty has never been just a word to we Americans. It has guided every one of our endeavors for the past 250 years. And now it takes form in a new way.

From sunup to sundown, you'll be ready for whatever's next. Feel a leave. Use as directed for minor aches and pains. And we return to our American stories. We've been listening to Jim McCluskey, author of When the Truth Is All You Have and founder of Centurion, an innocence project dedicated to freeing the wrongly convicted.
Jim had begun his seminary field work. in prison. when he was confronted by a man who claimed to be innocent. And that's Chiefy. Jim was challenged on what he was going to do next.
Let's return to Jim McCluskey. That shook me up. It struck me right to the core. of my heart and soul. This man was confronting me.
With who who am I? What do I really believe? What does God Expect of me.
So I went back to the seminary. quite disturbed by this challenge. I prayed, I read scripture. Then I read, I came across the book of Isaiah, chapter 59. And Isaiah says in this chapter: no one goes to law honestly, they lie.
and spend their web of deceit. We look for justice, but there is none. Truth has fallen from the public squares. The Lord.
So This And was upset, and wondered why there was no one to intervene. in seeking justice. And I looked at that word, intervene. And I said, I wonder if this is God's sign to me. to intervene on behalf of Chiefy.
And I felt that it was. And so I went into prison. The next week. Actually, a little before Christmas. And I told him I have a Christmas present for you and Elena.
And so I said, Chiefy, I'm going to take a year off. And I'm going to do what I can, move the ball forward. to try and free you. I'm going to start that. in a month or so after we finish our final exams.
I believe that I was called by God to do this, so I'm doing it. and we'll see how it works out. We embraced through the cell bars. And silently, tears coming down. We were both moved by what was going to take place.
I decided to do this investigation myself. I'm 38 years old. I've been around the world. I know a little bit about how the world works. Nevertheless, I was a greenhorn.
The first thing I did. I went to Newark. and stood at the exact same spot where Pat Pasillo said he was. When he heard the gunshots and saw Uh these two men Flee the scene of the crime. Through the rear view mirror, of his tow truck.
In darkness. And I determined very easily and quickly It was impossible. for him to have seen what he said he saw. based on darkness and distance. Number one.
So he's out. as a credible witness. Um It took ten minutes. which, by the way, Chiefie's lawyer never did.
Now I'm going to investigate Richard Delesante. The jailhouse confession person. Richard said he had only been arrested. He'd only been uh convicted of Two crimes. When in fact He had been arrested.
Forty times. as a habitual criminal. and had testified in other Cases. When at Chiefy's trial, Under direct examination by the trial prosecutor, Kevin Kelly. He claimed he had never testified in any other case.
at all. That was a lie, and I had the documents to prove that was a lie. Then I would write Richard Delesante, letter after letter, It took a year. before he finally agreed to meet with me. I got a call from him in February of nineteen eighty two.
No Amenities, he says, I know who you are, I know what you've been doing. I got you letters. I'm in the Hudson County Jail in Jersey City. If you want to talk to me, come on up. Later that week, I spent two full days visiting with Richard Delesante.
Then he told me the whole story. And I was taping. or his conversations with me.
So we had a whole rich treasure. Yeah. Conversations and his confessions about all the real wrongdoing he had done in Chiefy's case and Rich and Danny's case and other cases on behalf of this crooked corrupt. Essex County Prosecutor's detective who was his handler. And I met with the prosecutor.
Kevin Kelly. And told him all this information. I was naive. I still believed at that time that Kevin Kelly. Although he mistakingly, he honestly mistakingly Convicted an innocent man when he hears this new evidence that establishes that.
He might even help me free Chiefy. That was so naive. And so dumb. And when I told Kevin Kelly what I had. And then I telephoned him.
When I telephoned him, Months later, But I learned even more. He hung up on me and said, Jim, I don't give a darn if 10 people come forward and confess to this crime. Um, you know, Chief, he's good for this, and he hung up on me. One of the most important things I did, and I got lucky. is I need a lawyer.
I can't do this by myself. Paul Castellero. Began work on this case with me. We were a team. in late 1981.
Paul was able to. draw up a a very compelling Rid of habeas corpus. and we got a hearing in federal court. For the federal district judge to re All the documented evidence as well as witness testimony, post-conviction witness testimony. We put Kevin Kelly on the stand.
He he had to account. for what we knew to be. is subordination of perjury. And I almost felt sorry for him by the time Paul got through with him, but I didn't. on July 6th.
Three or four months after the hearing. Honorable District Judge. Frederick B. Lacey. Reverse the conviction.
and failed as a fact. that Delesante lied. to stay out of prison. and that the prosecutor knew that he had lied and supported perjury. And on July twenty-sixth, nineteen eighty-three, several weeks later.
Paul Castellero and I Went down to Trenton State Prison. and picked Chiefy up, a free and exonerated man. and brought him home to his wife in Newark. That's Glorious day. Up until that point.
It was the best day by far of my entire life.
Now, during the two and a half years I was working for Chiefy. I had met three other New Jersey lifers. who I had come to believe were also innocent. That all three were asking me to please do for them. what I had done for Chiefy.
After we freed them.
Now we come to another crossroads. which is in July of 1983. Chief he's freed. I have finished my Master Divinity degree program that was completed at the same time. But at that time, I was broke.
However, Just at that time, now I have a choice to make. Am I going to now go on and get ordained as a church pastor? Yeah. What am I going to do with these three other men? Um Just when um Uh struggling with that decision.
I received A ten thousand dollar tax-free gift from my mother and father. Dad they had come into some extraordinary income. From an old investment they had made years before. And they gave each of us three kids. A $10,000 tax-free gift.
I looked at that. as manna from heaven And seed bunny To begin with What I later called Centurion Ministries. I decided to Established A non-profit organization. called Centurion Ministries. and I named it Centurion After the centurion in the Gospel of Luke.
The centurion Standing At the foot of the crucified Christ Looks up. and said, surely this one was innocent. That's where the name comes from. Then I began work. I started to work on those three cases.
Eventually. We freed all three. Rene Santana was freed in February of 86. Nate Walker was freed and um November of 86 And Domaso Vega was freed. In uh November of 1989.
And a terrific job in the storytelling and production by Faith Buchanan and Robbie Davis. and a special thanks. To Jim McCluskey. For his work. With Chiefy.
and with so many others, Centurion has freed sixty seven men and women serving life sentences. and all again because he answered God's calls. Who am I? he asked. What do I believe, and what does God require of me, when challenged by chiefie?
And Isaiah chapter 59 provided the answer for him. God had sent a sign to me, he said, that word intervene. Just kept calling at me. And by the way, you can get to Jim's organization Centurion at centurion.org. Jim McCluskey's story here.
