Kerry Max Cook: Chasing Justice: My Story of Freeing Myself After Two Decades on Death Row for a Crime I Didn’t Commit

Event Description:

Kerry Max Cook, exonerated Death Row inmate, activist against capital punishment, and best-selling author, will speak at St. Bernadette Church

Kerry Max Cook is an innocent man who wrongly served two decades in Texas’s notorious death house for the brutal 1977 rape and murder of 21-year-old Linda Jo Edwards. Cook’s struggle for freedom is said to be one of the worst cases of police and prosecutorial misconduct in American history.

His best-selling book, Chasing Justice: My Story of Freeing Myself After Two Decades on Death Row for a Crime I Didn’t Commit, is about his journey for survival, justice, and freedom that will forever change the way you think about the criminal-justice system.

Cook will talk about capital punishment, life inside the “death house” and the startling flaws in our legal system that can and do send innocent men and women to their deaths, and his fight for justice and for his life, both in the courts and in his daily life amid vicious prisoners and unbearable conditions.
