They Falsely Accused
Another Innocent Man in Ada, Oklahoma
*Same town as John Grisham's THE INNOCENT MAN
WELCOME!
THEY FALSELY ACCUSED is a book about yet another man wrongly convicted in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. It's more of the same involving the legal system in Ada, as it reflects small-town America. Matt Thompson was convicted at trial of rape (yet acquitted of a second charge) and sent to prison with a fifteen-year sentence. New evidence brought hope for a successful appeal, but that hope died more than five years later with the exhaustion of his appeals. The lack of evidence, police trickery, and shifty stories are disturbingly similar to what happened to the men in THE INNOCENT MAN and THE DREAMS OF ADA.
Ninety-five percent of the book was written in the summer of 2000, before anyone knew where Ada was, but finding a publisher has been difficult because there has been no legal exoneration. My goal is to self-publish if nothing else, and get the book into prison libraries and public libraries in America. Then almost everyone could have access to reading it through inter-library loan programs.
Please contact Jeff Schmidt of NY Creative Management with any publishing offers or requests. In the meantime, the e-book tells the story just the same. The final chapter is a must read of what to do if falsely accused: how to investigate, utilize your lawyer and handle the police and legal authorities.
We've known about the Pontotoc County injustices for a long time around here, and I'm sure glad others are learning of it too. We can't wait for you to read THEY FALSELY ACCUSED.
