Journey Toward Justice

This book along with The Dreams of Ada and The Innocent Man are the stories that happened here in Ada Oklahoma and the type of justice that is often handed down in a small town where money and winning is everything! I am happy that someone finally listened and brought to light the corruption that goes on often in small towns.

When I read The Innocent Man, I wondered what life for Mr. Fritz really had been since It did not go into much detail about his stay in prison, but after reading The Journey Toward Justice it just shows how strong of a person Dennis really is. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Fritz at a Tulsa, OK book signing and he is trully a wonderful and greatful person to talk to. If you have read The Innocent Man then you will have to read Journey Toward Justice it trully is compelling.

JOURNEY TOWARD JUSTICE is an important book because it shows how the "winning is everything" attitude of our society in general has infected our criminal justice system as well. Dennis Fritz is a hero not just for persevering in seeking justice for himself, but for continuing to champion justice for the countless imprisoned innocent men and women who were just another notch in the belt or statistic in campaign literature for conscienceless prosecutors. This is a great story of the triumph of love, faith and endurance over careerism, cynicism and indifference. I highly recommend this book, not just for those interested in the criminal justice system, but for every American who naively believes that we have the "greatest system of justice" on earth just because those who run it keep telling us so.

Dennis Fritz wrote of his plight with elegance. He was accused, convicted and imprisoned for 12 years for a crime he did not commit. Reading about his ordeal that examins the many mistakes and deceptions that led to his conviction and 12 year incarceration, makes you think this can happen to just about anyone. He was a school teacher and a family man before being accused. I was touched by the total amount of injustice that he received. A captivating story on both personal and more importantly legal level. The 12 years in prison he immersed himself in an intense study of the law and wrote hundreds of letters and appellate briefs in his own defense. He wrote in a way I felt his frustration, anger and happiness and gave me great insight into a flawed justice system. Read his book and find out why he followed a certain Diet of his, sad true and amazing. He writes about how he never Blamed the Lord. He solely relied on his Faith in God to make it through. I was amazed how he worked diligently seeking his Freedom and how his Faith kept him emotionally stable during his time in prison. Extraodinary book by a extraordinary Man. A Heartfelt Story

This is a very compelling and exciting story about an innocent man who is accused, convicted and imprisoned for 12 years for a crime he did not commit. The detail provided makes it very interesting for any one familiar with our justice system. The book is very well written and the story is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone, especially those in our criminal justice system in any capacity, or anyone thinking about a career in criminal justice.

I recommend Dennis Fritz' Journey Toward Justice. It reads like an amazing fiction story that a good writer has created. It was always a shock when I remembered that I was actually reading a true story and that the book was written by the person who lived through all those events. This book is well-written and fascinating on many levels. It is a good legal suspense book with lots of twists and turns. It is a chilling exposure of corruption by a small-town prosecutor, followed by many others blindly and uncaringly validating the injustices. It is a love story about a family that survives enormously trying times. It is a very thought provoking book with respect to the death penalty. It's an uplifting story about perseverance through crushing circumstances. Read this book - you will have trouble putting it down. You will never forget the story.
