Beskrivelse

A true story of how author Ken Pealock faced down the might of the entire U.S. Department of Justice as they committed one felony after another to frame and destroy him. Because he refused to plea guilty to crimes he didn't commit--and the government couldn't return his property they misappropriated for personal use--two kangaroo trials were held to silence him with 20 years behind bars. His courtroom drama is described in great detail, along with subsequent lawsuits against his judge, the prosecutor, and the entire 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. He filed a judicial complaint against his judge for taking a bribe How they framed him is half the story; the other half is how the author dealt with his life-destroying sentence with never-ending hope and humor, by adopting a stoic philosophy, and by writing this story of injustice. You will follow him through jails and prisons as he uses sarcasm and outlandish humor to describe his encounters with gangs, murderers, terrorists, crooked cops, lawyers, politicians, the insane, and even a CIA operative who gave him power-of-attorney over secret CIA bank accounts. He describes the systemic medical neglect of prisoners that resulted in the death of his co-defendant, and almost killed him. This is an unbelievable story you will never forget.
