Help Exonerated Former Prosecutor Nicholas "Nick" Trutenko

Justice has finally prevailed—but at a tremendous cost.

Nick was recently exonerated after enduring a lengthy, unjust, and malicious prosecution—all because he did his job over 35 years ago. Nick successfully prosecuted the first-degree murders of two Chicago Police Officers, ensuring justice for their families and the community. But decades later, he became the target of an unfounded and retaliatory case against him, forcing him to fight for his own freedom and reputation.

After years of legal battles, Nick has been cleared of all charges, but the financial toll has been devastating. While generous supporters have contributed over $20,000, Nick was forced to use his retirement savings to cover his mounting legal costs. Now, as he tries to rebuild his life, he needs our help.

Nick dedicated his career to upholding the law and ensuring justice. Today, we have the opportunity to return the favor. Your donation—no matter the amount—will help Nick recover from this ordeal and regain the financial security he worked his entire life to build.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign. Justice was served—now let’s help Nick move forward.

Thank you for your support!
