One of Tommy Zeigler’s neighbors on Florda’s Death Row was a man named Kris Maharaj. Since then Kris had the dubious pleasure of having his sentence commuted to Life. like Tommy, Kris has many proofs that he is innocent of the crimes attributed to him. Like Tommy, Kris also had a book written about his appalling case and decades of wrongful imprisonment. Like Tommy, Kris has friends battling to overcome the Kafkaesque system that is Florida Justice. If you want to know more about the system most of us take for granted is ‘liberty and justice for all’ do run not walk and buy a copy of Clive Stafford Smith’s THE INJUSTICE SYSTEM. Guaranteed to shock you!
