Dubious Accusations and Convictions
Here is an
geographic index of web pages that give information about dubious accusations
and convictions in the United States. Eventually, I plan eventually to include
cases from other countries as well. In the meantime, you can find information
on cases in other countries on this page at the site
of the Ontario Consultants on
Religious Tolerance (OCRT). Many cases in the United Kingdom are at
the web site of The Portia Campaign. I
have investigated many of the following cases and am persuaded of the
innocence of the people accused. Some cases I haven't had the time to look
into personally. And in some cases I am not convinced of the accused's
innocence, but believe nevertheless that there were sufficient irregularities
in the investigation and/or trial to warrant inclusion. Thus I suggest you
read the accounts and make up your own mind. If you know of a web site that
should be included, please email me at bob@freebaran.org. If no information about
a case is available on the internet, you may write up an account (please
include contact information) and I will read it and, if you make a reasonable
case, I will convert the account to HTML, place it at my own web site, and
link to it. In addition to the OCRT web site, I have made use of material and
links from Justice Denied,
Jonathan
Harris, Hugo Cunningham,
Nicholas Peters, and Doug
Hill. Most of these cases involve accusations of child sexual abuse, but
some murder cases are also included. Resolved cases are starred. (By resolved
I don't mean that exoneration occurred. In some cases, alas, the person
convicted completed his or her sentence.)
