To educate the youth of the justice system nightmare.

Donation protected
Hi, my name is john and I have spent the last 62 years fighting the legal system. In 1963, on my 19th birthday, I was arrested and charged with the wilful murder of my fiancée, a crime I never committed. It took me and my supporters 39 years to clear my name. Since my exoneration in 2002, I have been visiting schools throughout WA to explain the dangers of the Justice System and how it fails the citizens of this great state. Making them aware that this same trauma could befall them, and if they don't want to work towards change for themselves, then at least give your children a chance to live a better life, secure in the knowledge that they will not have to spend their lives looking out at life from a prison cell.
I have to warn people and change the system, or else those 62 years will have been wasted. I have this burning desire to save our children and future generations from suffering the same fate that so many have over the years, being wrongfully convicted.
My school incursions are at no charge to the schools, but I find it hard to cover the cost of travell and accomadation outside of the metro area on a pension.
