Actual Innocence

The Actual Innocence awareness database, provides a listing of United States resources to those interested in the area of wrongful convictions. Recently launched by the Tarlton Law Library at the University of Texas School of Law.

I highly recommend this great new site for anyone contemplating a legal career, law students, attorneys and anyone else interested in the topic area of wrongful convictions in criminal law. It encompasses the categories of popular media (such as newspaper articles and segments which aired on television news magazines), journal articles, books, reports, legislation and websites.

The materials are classified into what are considered the primary causes of wrongful conviction: forensics/DNA; eyewitness identification; false confessions; jailhouse informants; police and/or prosecutorial misconduct; and ineffective representation.
Links for law review articles with text in PDF. The site is well organized by subtopics and RSS-enabled to allow users to receive automatic notices of updates.

I also highly recommend reading the book "Journey Toward Justice", author Dennis Fritz. I believe Dennis Fritz's book should be required reading for everyone involved in our justice system. Dennis Fritz is the other innocent man in John Grisham's book, "The Innocent Man.

Dennis Fritz tells his personal story of his unwarranted prosecution, and wrongful conviction in his book,"Journey Toward Justice". Dennis served 12 years for a murder he did not commit. A chilling illustration of how one prosecutor's reckless pursuit of justice shattered his life.

With the aid of Barry Scheck and The Innocence Project, devoted to exonerate the wrongfully convicted, Dennis Fritz was exonerated. The real killer, turned out to be one of the prosecution's key witness.

Jim Brown Justice Denied

My post on Justice Denied June 22th: What I learned since June 22th, is there is a Justice Denied Magazine and Justice Denied Book. You sure learn things fast with a blog. On June 22th I posted a story from Justice Denied Magazine. Readers were asking me if they were affiliated. I never heard of the book Justice Denied, so I did research on it. I did remember I read a story about Kathleen Norman from a Jim Brown website. I left a comment and left the site. Little did I know who Jim Brown was. I was really just interested in Kathleen Norman's amazing story. This is what I read on Jim Brown's radio website about Kathleen:

The Innocence Project of New Orleans was discussed on Wednesday’s show, and my guest was the Chairman of the Board, Kathleen Norman. Kathleen was actually the foreperson of a jury that convicted and sentenced an innocent man to death. Later, when confronted with evidence of his innocence that had been in possession of the FBI and withheld form the defense, she became an outspoken advocate for his release.

I did find out Justice Denied magazine and Justice Denied book are not affiliated. I also found out who Jim Brown was. Jim Brown is the author of the book "Justice Denied" and Radio Host. His radio show "Telling It Like Is" is heard weekday from New Orleans. 995 fm.com. The radio show was where I heard about Kathleen Norman. Jim has an amazing story about Justice Denied , read more about him on his Blog HERE.

Jim Brown's book is now available to order here and on his site. The book covers the entire Cascade controversy from beginning to end. Jim gives his insights as to the real reason he was charged, a detailed review of the trial, and a full analysis of why the jury was kept in the dark and made their wrong decision.
In addition, Jim gives his perspective on some of the major political events that took place during his 30 years in public life.
Jim is also writing a new book about his six month stay at Oakdale Federal Prison. Readers will find insights about prison life, and Jim will discuss events that took take place in prison he was reluctant to write about while he was still there. Jim Brown if you read this, Great Show and Great Book. Now I have to read more about Kathleen Norman.

Here is another true story about Justice Denied. Place Pontotoc County, Ada, Oklahoma. It is because of this story I started my blog, Barbara's Journey Toward Justice :

Dennis Fritz The Other Innocent Man in John Grisham's Book "The Innocent Man".
Dennis Fritz writes his own story. His book "Journey Toward Justice" is endorsed on jacket by John Grisham and he states on Jacket Compelling and Fascinating.

A Companion book to "The Innocent Man". "Journey Toward Justice" is a testimony to the triumph of the human Spirit, Dennis Fritz was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder after a swift trail. Dennis Fritz's Story is of unwarranted prosecution and wrongful conviction.

The only thing that saved Dennis Fritz from the Death Penalty was a lone vote from a juror. Dennis Fritz is the other innocent man mentioned in John Grisham's Book. which mainly is about Ronnie Williamson, Dennis Fritz's co-defendant.

Both were exonerated after spending 12 years in prison.

The real killer was one of the Prosecution's Key Witness. Read about why he went on a special diet of his while in prison, amazing and shocking.
He wrote hundreds of letters and appellate briefs in his own defense and immersed himself in an intense study of law. He was a school teacher and a ordinary man whose wife was brutally murdered in 1975 by a deranged 17 year old neighbor.

On May 8th 1987, Five years after Debbie Sue Carter's rape and murder he was home with his young daughter and put under arrest, handcuffed and on his way to jail on charges of rape and murder.

After 10 years in prison he discovered The Innocence Project, a non-profit legal organization.

With the aid of Barry Scheck and DNA evidence Dennis Fritz was exonerated on April 15,1999 Since then, it has been a long hard road filled with twist and turns and now on his Journey Toward Justice.

He never blamed the Lord and solely relied on his faith in God to make it through. He waited for God's time and never gave up.
