NIAD and Mark Kirk.
NIAD began in 2004 with the publication of "The Mark Kirk Story" in the magazine "Justice Denied." At the time, Michael Fox was involved with an arson/murder case in Japan, and the similarities between the two cases were astounding-junk science, coerced confessions, prosecutorial malfeasance. Upon reading the story in Justice: Denied!, Fox wrote to Kirk, enclosed a modest donation, and requested that Kirk contact T. Boku, male codefendant in the Higashi-Sumiyoshi Case. The two defendants then began a most interesting correspondence. Kirk singularly took up the study of the Japanese language.
While I always thought Kirk would be the first to be released, the opposite occurred: the Japanese case was reversed and the defendants exonerated in 2016. ( More )
