Well Written Extraodinary Heartbreaking Personal Account, Dennis Fritz gives his personal account of his ordeal that examins the many mistakes and deceptions that led to his conviction and 12 year incarceration. I was touched by the total amount of injustice that he received. A captivating story on both personal and more importantly legal level. The 12 years in prison he immersed himself in an intense study of the law and wrote hundreds of letters and appellate briefs in his own defense. He wrote in a way I felt his frustration, anger and happiness and gave me great insight into a flawed justice system. Read his book and find out why he followed a certain Diet of his, sad true and amazing. He writes about how he never Blamed the Lord. He solely relied on his Faith in God to make it through. I was amazed how he worked diligently seeking his Freedom and how his Faith kept him emotionally stable during his time in prison. Extraodinary book by a extraordinary Man. A Heartfelt Story.Read full review
What a great book. I am a Okie but have traveled and lived all over the world but living in OKC now. Unfortunately, this is not an exception. The good ole boy system is alive and well here. And the really sad thing is that the man responsible for this terrible miscarriage of justice stil won't admit that he did anything wrong. He is another Gene Stipe, drunk with power and willing to do anything to make himself look good. Dennis Fritz was just another stepping stone on his way up. It just backfired. But my biggest quandry is "Why is he still in charge?"
This is a true story of the justice system gone wrong. Excellent story. Must read. Must read An Innocent Man By John Grisom for the other defendants story which is described in this book also read: The Dreams of Ada by Robert Mayer. it also tellls of injustice in this towns judicial system. All three books excellent.
