Gary Gauger's Book


You can now order Gary Gauger's book, In Spite of the System: A Personal Story of Wrongful Conviction & Exoneration, which will be available September 1st.

Many may know Gary's story. Arrested and charged with murdering his parents in Richmond (Illinois) in 1993, Gary spent years in prison, including on death row. He was released after an Illinois appellate court reversed the decision of the McHenry County Court and former State's Attorney Gary Pack had to drop the charges. Gauger was later pardoned by Gov. George Ryan.

And the real murderers were caught and are in prison.

How did this happen? Read In Spite of the System. Order the book at http://www.garygauger.com/ and pay $19.95, including shipping, by PayPal. Indicate whether you want Gary to inscribe the copy to you (and to what name).

I was particularly attracted to Gary's story when I first heard it in 1996, because I had known a man in Denver who was charged and prosecuted for rape. When the police drove the victim by my businessman friend's pick-up truck, she said that was not the truck. When she viewed his picture in a photo line-up, she said he wasn't the rapist. But the police pursued him, anyway. When all was said and done, he won $1,100,000 from two sheriff's departments, two state's attorneys, and one police department.
