E231 Taylor Conley sat in a courtroom on Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 and heard the verdict. The jury had deliberated for 8 1/2 hours and declared Taylor guilty of aggravated murder, and first degree felony murder, in the death of Brian Swelah. Taylor was sentenced to life without possibility of parole.  All these years later, his case is up for appeal, as evidence has been brought forth regarding false witness statements, coercion of witnesses and retribution politics. Taylor maintains his innocence, but admits he was “doing bad things back then, with bad people.” Now he spends his days helping others inside prison walls find a way to channel their emotions and find their purpose. His podcast, “Life of a Lifer,” gives insight into the daily lives of those incarcerated. He and his wife, Cecilia, also started the magazine Inside Designed Conviction, The Magazine and its sister publication Outside Designed Conviction, The Magazine.
