Thomas "Tommy" Davenport – The Davenport Firm
Woody Overton welcomes his longtime friend, attorney, law professor, and self-described bulldog litigator Thomas Davenport to discuss the continuing pursuit of justice for Hailey. The conversation begins with Woody thanking Thomas and his law firm for donating custom knives that helped raise the remaining funds needed for Scott Roder and The Evidence Room to complete their work on the case. Thomas explains why he felt compelled to help and why he believes justice should not depend on a family's financial status or influence.
The discussion then turns to Thomas's legal career, his work as a criminal defense attorney and professor, and his growing concerns about the legal reasoning being used to claim that Hailey's case cannot move forward. Thomas outlines his plan to conduct a full legal review, prepare a memorandum, and have it peer-reviewed before presenting his findings publicly. Woody and Thomas also discuss Barbara Johnson's unwavering determination, the importance of admitting mistakes when new evidence emerges, and why neither of them is willing to stop fighting for answers.
