It’s Time

The waiting is over. The time has finally come….

             We are now merely days away from filing our Motion for a New Trial. Based on our overwhelming new medical evidence that proves that I was wrongly convicted, we are asking the court to overturn my conviction and to release me from prison.

            Today marks 28 years that my family and I have been in a desperate fight for justice. We were forced to navigate an unfair and deeply flawed criminal justice system that we just didn’t understand. Out of desperation and fear we made numerous mistakes that cost us years of delay and disappointment. In addition, like so many others, we naively believed that only the guilty get arrested, prosecuted and sent to prison. We now know that is just… not… true!

             Over the last several years my amazing legal team has conducted an exhaustive search for medical records, forensic evidence and reports never collectively reviewed by ANY medical expert in this case. In addition, our team has reinterviewed first responders and doctors pivotal to the case and uncovered shocking new information.

              Most importantly, my attorneys have consulted with top medical experts from across the country and these doctors have now completed the most comprehensive and in-depth analysis of ALL of the evidence in my case. These medical experts have all come to the same inescapable conclusion: The previous medical opinions and theories that led to my wrongful conviction are unequivocally and provably WRONG.

              For the very first time, we are getting a true chance at justice. After reading our motion we are confident that many questions will be answered, and the truth will become very clear. More importantly, we are hopeful that it will be clear to the court.  Even further, it is our sincere hope that the district attorney will not oppose our motion and agree that it is time to right this terrible wrong.

           My family and I have suffered through this nightmare for far too long. The pain and loss we’ve endured is immeasurable and frankly, irreparable. Now we have renewed hope. We are optimistic and grateful. We have always believed that the truth matters and that one day the truth would be what would set me free. Now, the truth will finally be told.

           I have always been thankful for the love and support given to me by all of you – my family, friends and supporters. I am grateful for the support shown to my family as well. There was a time when they were treated poorly and unfairly by the media and public at large. This path has not been easy. Your love and support are truly what has kept my spirit alive. Thank you.

          Our dream has always been that one day I would be exonerated, and our family would be allowed to heal. We believe that that time is coming and that with the filing of this motion, we are actually and finally…

One Day Closer
