Innocence Takes A Back Seat To Legal Procedure

Why The Justice System Doesn’t Allow Evidence Proving Innocence From Ever Being Examined Although our justice system is the best one on the planet, it’s far from perfect, and has its flaws. Occasionally those flaws contribute not only to the innocent being convicted, but also serve to prevent them from ever having any  post-conviction relief. Exculpatory evidence that could exonerate a truly innocent inmate stands a very good chance of NEVER being examined if artificial deadlines imposed by the courts weren’t adhered to rigorously. This case is one of those rare examples in which an innocent young man sits in prison while the courts have refused to even consider a confession letter of the actual perpetrator – along with mounds of other exculpatory evidence…

Confession Letter Exonerates Innocent Inmate

  As promised back in September, a game changer would be revealed that removes ALL doubt about Ryan’s involvement in the crimes for which he was convicted. And we’re now prepared to deliver on that promise, which proves he is indeed an Innocent Inmate. We now have a letter of confession, which you can read here, from the same person we have been claiming all along who was responsible for having committed these crimes, James H. Not only does James admit to having committed both of the crimes for which Ryan was convicted, but he also confesses to a fourth robbery he committed that same week, which still remains unsolved. How the letter was acquired In June of 2013, I…

Innocent Inmate One Step Closer

We are weeks away from dropping an absolute bombshell of information regarding innocent inmate Ryan Madden’s actual innocence that will immediately turn this case upside down. The reason we are not prepared to go public today with proof to back our claims of Ryan’s actual innocence is simple. The courts require an extremely high burden of proof to even entertain the notion the system may have gotten it wrong during a trial. You deserve no less consideration when reading something on this blog. You aren’t required to believe what we say. But rather, you are simply being asked to believe what you see and to not suspend your common sense. We are now in the process of not only meeting…

Innocence Project Frees Another Innocent Inmate

Because of the tireless and selfless work of the Innocence Project, another innocent inmate has thankfully been set free. Some of you may have read about the story of Daniel Larson that made national news back in March. There’s a back side to the story that should provide hope that regardless of how dire your own personal circumstances may be, it’s that good can spring forth from bad things that happen to us. I got to know Danny quite well over time because of Ryan’s tender heart and compassion for those who are less fortunate than he. Due to the exorbitant fees charged by telephone companies under contract with the state prisons, many of the families of the inmates [both…

Confessions of a Clumsy Social Media Klutz

Daughter #2 to Dad, standing 5 feet away: “DAAAAAADDDDddd… Who posted the tweet to the Innocent Inmate Twitter feed this morning?” Dad: <gulp> “Why are you asking?” (Hoping to buy time to think of who to blame) Daughter: “Because it came across like someone was ordering us to do something” Dad: “Well, I AM the dad, aren’t I?” Daughter:  <gasping>”So it was YOUUUU?” Dad: “Well your mom, er, ah, um…yeah, it was me” After explaining the hardships of constraining a long-winded Irishman to 140 characters in his quest to becoming a social media maven, it appears my bellyflop entry into the social media world has left me but one direction to go: Up. To anyone who took offense at my…

Sign the Innocent Inmate Petition Now

We are asking you to join us in petitioning California Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris for a full and thorough review of new evidence that Ryan’s jury never saw or considered before rendering their verdict. As you can imagine, once the state typically gains a conviction, they believe the system worked. In most cases, they are right. However, under certain circumstances such as this, new evidence surfaces after the conviction the jury was not able to consider before rendering a verdict. By taking 20 seconds of your day to e-sign the petition and click ‘send this letter,’ you can make a difference. Each e-petition will be separately delivered to the email in-boxes of the Atty. Gen. and her underlings litigating this…
