JUNK JUSTICE A Law-Abiding Businessman's Tragic Quest for Due Process

By Gerry Rising

Caution when reading certain critical reviews "Junk Justice" is an accurate yet critical critique of our criminal justice system. There are many positioned within the "system" who dispute every critique exposing the lack of due process as well as portrayals of outright corruption. They choose to protect the status quo. This book is not written for them. Junk Justice is a clear, well documented and true account of a successful law-abiding businessman driven into bankruptcy, coerced into accepting an unwarranted plea bargain predicated upon false claims, then convicted and imprisoned for five years by a justice system run amok. It is the story of a man confronted by a politically ambitious prosecutor who, with the cooperation of a corrupt defense team and an all too compliant press, ignored exculpatory evidence to reap an unjustifiable conviction. It is the story of a man self-representing his appeals and presenting unchallenged facts to the court related to these gross acts of misconduct, an innocent man suffering from a discriminatorily dismissive Judiciary and federal bureaucracy. "Junk Justice" is not simply an account of one man's journey but that of other victims as well, and it provides the reader with a broad perspective of the injustices routinely committed against good people within the US halls of justice. "Junk Justice" is the story of a 60-year-old felon, his reputation destroyed, rising like Joseph in the book of Genesis from the depths of despair to not only survive but to gain from his experience.
