Book excerpt: This book is written in layman's terms. It will provide you with the understanding that the courts don't want you to have. This book is not only an informative research guide it is also a plain terms resource manual. With this book, you will be armed with a unique understanding of the Habeas Corpus process used by both state and federal prisoners who seek relief in the United States district courts. This book is written to guide the layman through a complicated web of court rules and statutes that have, throughout the years, been passed and utilized by Bar members to deny relief to even the innocent. This book provides form letters, sample motions, and memorandum briefs with full instructions that will likely be needed by every prisoner who seeks justice. This book will assist state and federal prisoners with obtaining documents and an understanding of how to effectively structure Pro Se pleadings. It will teach you how to study a criminal case and evaluate sound constitutional claims. If you or a loved one is or has been a victim of the American criminal justice system, it's safe to assume that you have looked for guidance in one form or another. It's also safe to say that there exists no single, all encompassing, source that will offer relief in every case. What's needed in every case lies within you and the law, that's the desire to do justice. This book is different from all others for two reasons: One, it gives you, in simple terms, an understanding of a right that the United States Constitution guarantees to all people, the right to justice. Two, it provides you resources successfully used by prisoners and is written from the perspective of an American citizen who has been victimized by an overzealous court. This book provides the experience of an actual habeas corpus petitioner filing in Pro Se, in necessity, rather than the hypothetical theory of a law clerk working for the weekend.

The book includes example motions for compassionate release, based on a Covid-19 claim.

Download or read book Infinite Hope written by Anthony Graves and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a wrongfully convicted man who spent 16 years in solitary confinement and 12 years on death row, a powerful memoir about fighting for—and winning—exoneration. In the summer of 1992, a grandmother, a teenage girl, and four children under the age of ten were beaten and stabbed to death in Somerville, Texas. The perpetrator set the house on fire to cover his tracks, deepening the heinousness of the crime and rocking the tiny community to its core. Authorities were eager to make an arrest. Five days later, Anthony Graves was in custody. Graves, then twenty-six years old and without an attorney, was certain that his innocence was obvious. He did not know the victims, he had no knowledge about the crime, and he had an airtight alibi with witnesses. There was also no physical evidence linking him to the scene. Yet Graves was indicted, convicted of capital murder, sentenced to death, and, over the course of twelve years on death row, given two execution dates. He was not freed for eighteen years, two months, four days. Through years of suffering the whims of rogue prosecutors, vote-hungry district attorneys, and Texas State Rangers who played by their own rules, Graves was frequently exposed to the dire realities of being poor and black in the criminal justice system. He witnessed fellow inmates who became his friends and confidants be taken away, one by one, to their deaths. And he missed out on seeing his three young sons mature into men. Graves’s only solace was his infinite hope that the state would not execute him for a crime he did not commit. To maintain his dignity and sanity, Graves made sure as many people as possible knew about his case. He wrote letters to whomever he thought would listen. Pen pals in countries all over the world became allies, and he attracted the attention of a savvy legal team that overcame setback after setback, chiseling away at the state’s faulty case against him. Everyone’s efforts eventually worked. After Graves’s exoneration, the original prosecutor on his case was disbarred. Graves is one of a growing number of innocent people exonerated from death row. The moving account of his saga—of his ultimate fight for freedom from inside a prison cell—is as haunting as it is poignant, and as shameful to the legal system as it is inspiring to those on the losing end of it.
