A slightly bizarre turn of events in the Kerry Max Cook
case; he was released in 1999 after 3 botched murder trials and 20 years in
prison. Although he signed a plea deal for his release, he’s been fighting to
prove his actual innocence to this day.
He recently fired his Innocence Project lawyers, accusing them of
bullying him into a plea deal that would remove any accountability from the
prosecutors who imprisoned him. He plans to represent himself in the future.
I admire his fortitude, and hope that he finally receives
justice. I wonder sometimes what would have happened if Carlos Coy had taken
the plea deal that prosecutors offered him but I think that, ultimately, the
truth is what matters and it’s what you have to fight for.
