Since 2007, the United States government has been unjustly pursing four decorated veterans for war-zone crimes they did not commit. After days of deliberation, Nick Slatten’s third jury somehow reached a guilty verdict on December 19, 2018. We will likely never know how 12 people following the jury instructions they were given could justify that outcome to themselves in light of the overwhelming evidence of Nick’s innocence, but we are preparing for the fight ahead to address the erroneous legal rulings and prosecutorial misconduct that we believe tainted the proceedings, misled the jury, and caused them to reach a verdict that—if it stands—will send an innocent man to prison for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty, and Paul Slough are sitting in federal prison without valid sentences after being convicted by a civilian jury that was denied access to critical evidence of their innocence. This website tells their stories and explains our fight to #FreeRaven23. Visit our Blog for the most recent updates on Nick's case and our FAQ page to see how you can help.
