Portrait of a Frame-Up
A wrongful conviction, told in my own words and footnoted to the record — one piece at a time.
These essays are my reckoning with what happened to me — written to be read on their own or in sequence. Each takes up one thread of the case: the betrayal, the odds, the polygraph, the reckoning. They are personal, and they are documented.
- 01 Honor & Betrayal The Few. The Proud. The Forsworn. Duty, honor, and oath-breaking — and the men who swore falsely to put me away.
- 02 The Marking Not My First Rodeo Not the first time in my life I was singled out and marked as the one to blame.
- 03 Statistical Evidence One Chance in Twenty-Four What the actual odds reveal about the case the prosecution built against me.
- 04 The Reckoning How Fucked Was I? Let Me Count the Ways… A clear-eyed tally of everything that was stacked against an innocent teenager.
- 05 Coerced Cooperation The Polygraph as Theater How a polygraph became a stage for coercion instead of a search for the truth.
