Innocent in Wisconsin — Advocates Fight for Wrongfully Convicted

The violence and malice of Wisconsin law enforcement
takes a toll on advocates working to free the innocent.
Many take solace from art, music and religion.
"I've done my sentence, but committed no crime" is
a lyric from Queen's We Are the Champions.

"It is too easy to convict an innocent person." — John Grisham, (Chicago Tribune)

Madison, Wisconsin — This afternoon at 5:00 p.m. (central time) advocates for two wrongfully convicted men will be out on social media (#WakeUpWisconsin and #NudgeTheJudge) in an ongoing effort to draw press attention to Wisconsin law enforcement  misconduct and one corrupt member of the judiciary, Sheboygan County Judge Angela W. Sutkiewicz.

The advocates work world-wide for the exoneration of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, featured in the Making a Murderer docu-series.

Historically, American law enforcement is the preferred means to thwart citizen action and disfavored social movements.

In Wisconsin, the focus of police remains on black and brown people, but across the state, the increasingly wanton and capricious nature of policing imperils virtually anyone caught at the wrong time at the wrong place.

Citizen advocates, working to reveal police misconduct in the Steven Avery and Dassey cases, have uncovered numerous instances of misconduct.

Advocates just revealed another crime, felony perjury.

Two demonstrably corrupt members of Wisconsin law enforcement — Special Agent Thomas Fassbender of the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation and Manitowoc Lt. Detective James Lenk (ret) — are filmed together during the litigation of the civil right suit brought by Steven Avery that induced corrupt law enforcement to frame Avery for the murder of Teresa Halbach.

Lenk, now living on his police pension in a golf course community in Green Valley, south of Tucson, Arizona, is widely acknowledged to have planted key evidence framing Steven Avery (Appleton Post-Crescent).

Lie for the police force; stay with the program; get out and live on your pension. It's what many cops do.

Another fact coming to light to light reveals Fassbender lying under oath, (committing criminal perjury), about ever knowing Lenk.

Now that I know the names and faces. I can see things more clearly.

Like season 1, episode 1 at 49:24 in, when Fassbender is walking down the Manitowoc courthouse steps with Lenk..prior to Avery filing his lawsuit.

A reckoning is coming against Wisconsin law enforcement; it just doesn't seem that way.

End of the road for Gage County, Nebraska taxpayers, who owe Beatrice 6 wrongly convicted defendants $28 million. Manitowoc County taxpayers will owe much more than that to SA & BD, increasing each day.#meterisrunning@ZellnerLaw #MakingAMurderer https://t.co/vy1OgHWAiH

So let's add to the tally of suspicion...DOJ should answer some questions.

* Fassbender filmed in Manitowoc with Lenk at the time Avery files lawsuit
* Willeford on Avery's property 10 months prior, acting as AT employee
* Strauss calls before evidence found to offer to help.
