When writer / director Seth Ferranti received a twenty-five year LSD kingpin conviction, after faking his suicide and landing on the US Marshals Top-15 Most Wanted list, he thought his life was over. As a first time, non-violent offender, the lengthy sentence attracted media attention from The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, The Washington Times, and others.
As a drug dealing teen Ferranti sold LSD and marijuana at 15 East Coast colleges, crisscrossing across five states- Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Maryland- a wanna-be rock star and Hunter S. Thompson-style outlaw whose hero’s were Henry Rollins, Axl Rose, and Jim Morrison. He followed the Grateful Dead and considered himself a counter culture rebel, not a criminal, as he was breaking laws which he thought were wrong.
He stands by those convictions today and see’s himself more as an activist who was a little ahead of the times. A trailblazer of the legal cannabis and psychedelic movements. As a twenty-two year old from the suburbs, who basically grew up as a military brat in California and overseas, the prison sentence Ferranti received due to the War on Drugs was longer than he’d lived to that point.
But despite the unjust sentence, Seth decided to rise above his past and focus on his future. He began building a writing and journalism career from inside the belly of the beast. With unlimited access to criminals and their stories Ferranti started crafting raw portrayals of prison life and crack era gangsters. Discovering a passion and talent for writing Ferranti also studied the trade earning an associates, bachelors, and masters degree while in prison.
With hope for his future renewed Ferranti started penning prison and gangster stories for Vice, Don Diva, FEDS, Hoopshype and others. He took it one step further and established his brand, Gorilla Convict, from prison. Ferranti became a true-crime publisher and built a website documenting stories that the mainstream media was not willing to share.
These stories reside in his books- Prison Stories, Supreme Team, and Street Legends, among others, and his 500 blog entries written by him and other prisoners. Along with the hundreds, if not thousands of pieces Ferranti wrote for other publications and websites, he became the most prolific prison writer of the War on Drugs era. In February 2015, after serving 21 years, he was released from the Bureau of Prison, to seek his fortune.
Back in the world Ferranti continued his writing career as a journalist penning pieces for Vice, Ozy, The Daily Beast, Dazed, Merry Jane, and features for Penthouse and Real Crime Magazines, among others. He also started writing and publishing comic books under his imprint GR1ND Studios and embarked on his true passion, filmmaking.
Fresh out of prison Ferranti wrote and directed a web-series, Easter Bunny Assassin, played the antagonist in an indie feature, Dog Days, wrote and played the lead in The Precious and the Damned, and joined forces with Shawn Rech and Transitions Studios to make White Boy, a feature documentary on Richard Wershe Jr. that aired on STARZ and became a Top Ten hit on NETFLIX.
Ferranti starred in the Season One Finale of Vice TV’s I was a Teenage Felon. Has appeared on Fox News, Inside Edition, and News Nation as a subject matter expert, and is currently directing several documentary projects- Nightlife, Dope Men, Tangled Roots, The Secret History of The LSD Trade, and Generation ECSTASY- which are in various stages of production. He also has numerous scripted and television projects in development. It appears there is no stopping him.

Little Kelley Leigh had a hard working mom, older brothers and sisters, and at age 13 she was held captive overnight and repeatedly raped and sodomized. Beyond the physical pain was the intense emotional despair and feeling of abandonment when her mother, instead of asking why she was out all night, beat and berated her for not being home on time.
"It's hard being punctual when you're face down on all fours biting someone's backseat upholstery while bleeding from your behind." Those would make fine country song lyrics, but it's not a lifestyle suggestion from this weeks special guest Kelley Leigh Moskowitz -- in the 1980's she was Gypsy Kelley, the street wise kid with the Mensa IQ, unlimited potential and facing 6 felony charges for possession with intent to sell "the weed with roots in Hell."
Marijuana was illegal in California back in 1980's. Yes, I know that's hard to believe. Kelley was racking up juvenile charges for acting juvenile but she quickly became the "mother figure" for an eleven year old runaway boy on the streets of Hollywood.
"My real name is Patrick, my middle name is James -- you can call me Jimmie," he told Kelley who preferred calling him "Hey, you," or "Cutie pie,"
FAST FORWARD to 2020: Little Jimmie, the runaway 11 year old is all grown up and for the past 18 years he's been behind bars as a convicted murderer -- a murder that Kelley insists was arranged and accomplished by men who planned on pinning the murder on Jimmie from the beginning.
"He was framed," states Kelley emphatically. "No one was brought in to offer a true explanation of who killed whom and why. Even his girlfriend, pregnant with his child, testified against him, Of course, she was told her baby would be taken from her if she didn't." In a True Crime Uncensored exclusive, Kelley Leigh breaks her silence and shares her perspective on this heartbreaking story of alleged lying criminal informants,their motive for framing the boy and the reward they received from Federal Agents and the criminal justice system of the State of California.
"The system itself was criminal," asserts Kelley. "In Hollywood, justice is just a comic book cologne."
PS: He is up for parole in November 2022.

If you missed last Saturday's show with Alan R Warren, here it is!
This Saturday at 2pm Pacific Time, 5pm Eastern Time, 10 pm London and 1pm Sitka Time, it is the long-awaited, much anticipated and often dreaded return of the world famous BRENT TURVEY, the man who literally wrote the book on criminal profiling.
Brent is an expert in forensic science, crime scene analysis, victimology, and crime reconstruction. He is currently a Forensic Scientist, Criminal Profiler, and Instructor with his private company, Forensic Solutions, LLC. TO LISTEN LIVE TO OUR SHOW WITH BRENT TURVEY, SIMPLY CLICK THIS LINK AT 2PM PACIFIC TIME SATURDAY.
Responding law enforcement agencies have a duty known as "The Duty of Care" which is the duty to investigate all reported crime, to recognize and uncover false allegations, and prevent them from causing harm to the innocent. Failure to do so can result in miscarriages of justice. When law enforcement fails in their duty of care, they are also exposed to civil liability from those that have been falsely accused.
Burl Barer says "I first became familiar with Brent's work when researching psychopathy under the guidance of Dr. Robert Hare for my book Body Count about serial killer Robert Lee Yates, Jr. I loved reading Brent's papers on serial killers, fake crime scenes, and other fascinating topics. Then, more than 25 years ago we enjoyed an extended telephone conversation that cinched forever my long distance and seldom connected friendship with Brent Turvey. I am thrilled that Brent has agreed to set aside an hour of his time to join us on True Crime Uncensored this Saturday to talk about False Allegations and, if we have time, "testilying" and other ethical violations for the sake of convictions."
