Im Brayden Cooper and Im just an average guy who found himself in a situation not at all average. Based on a true story, I will reveal to you state secrets, twisted politics, a few crooked cops, the negligence of the legal aid office, and the emotional battles of going to prison an innocent man. My faith in God has never been tested like it has been in the story Im about to tell. All names have been changed, as ordered by a federal judge, to protect the identity of the cowards who fear the truth. Much of this story has never before been told. I promised myself an uncensored story of truths and I kept that promise, no matter who hurts as a result. I will, within this book, hold accountable those who made me hurt and have never taken responsibility. Although I went to prison for a crime I did not commit, I am not innocent. I am guilty of being blind to warning signs right in front of my face. I am guilty of not doing more to help. I am guilty of being fooled, of being a fool. This book is not for the faint of heart.
