“Paul Ciolino is old school. Right is right and wrong is wrong. With street smarts and a sixth sense for where to look, Ciolino won’t let go until he’s found what he’s looking for, which is quite simply justice. And now he’s written a highly readable, straight-ahead, tell-it-like-it-is guide to let us in on what he knows.”—Alex Kotlowitz, Author of There Are No Children Here, Never a City So Real, and The Other Side of the River

Herein lies the root of the issue. Justice, morality, and freedom. This is what our fight is about. This is what it boils down to for me and I hope for you as well. Money is nice. Professional recognition by our peers is great. Warm and fuzzy media stories about our quest for justice are ego enriching. But, at the end of the day, it is about our most basic and dearest God inspired constitutional rights as Americans. This is what the wrongful conviction case is about, and this is why we find ourselves doing this work.
