Wrongful Conviction Presentation an Obvious Success

PETER WARREN's presentation as well as the presentations given by three family members of wrongfully convicted men was a complete success. Those present, including the media were appalled that convictions in our system could happen this way despite the evidence that clearly shows these men are NOT guilty of the crimes that they are paying for.

It was, for me, a great experience to meet the family members of Michael Tate and Kelvin Purdy and to hear their stories. The parallels in all three cases are uncanny with "missing evidence", "police tunnel vision" and "conviction by the media", just to name three. Yes, the list goes on. But, the biggest thing we all have in common is that we will NEVER give up fighting, we will NEVER be quiet and we will see JUSTICE!!!

Thanks, Peter, for your endless work in organizing this and for the media interviews regarding our cases before and since the presentation.

UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA FACULTY OF LAW PRESENTATION

MARCH 27, 2008 at 7:30pm at the University of Victoria faculty of law Room 159 of the Fraser Building, PETER WARREN will be speaking out about the wrongful convictions he has aided with over the years as well as the three cases he is currently working on. Featured will be the cases of Michael Tate, Kelvin Purdy, and Leon Walchuk. Family members from each case will also be speaking. Those include Michael's father, John, Kelvin's stepfather, and Leon's fiancee, Nancy. All public and media are welcome and encouraged. This shall definitely make an impact on these wrongful convictions and bring the deserved public attention to light.

It should also show our "governing" bodies that we, the families of these unjustly convicted men will not "go quietly into the good night" and we will continue to fight for justice. Once and for all our justice system must see that mistakes happen and that they are obligated to correct the errors.
