Reviews
" Justice on Fire is a powerful book on the justice system and its perceived abuses."-- Kansas History, "This is a powerful story that needs to be told--and O'Connor knows how to tell it, flashing his narrative chops from the get-go with a riveting description of the explosions. As he acknowledges, O'Connor is an 'advocate for the five convicted,' and it is important to view the book through that lens."-- Daniel S. Medwed , author of Prosecution Complex: America's Race to Convict and Its Impact on the Innocent "In Justice on Fire J. Patrick O'Connor shows, step-by-step, how the American criminal justice system can fail. The tragic deaths of six Kansas City firefighters in a huge commercial explosion caused by arson generated intense pressure to solve the case. Likely perpetrators slipped away in a botched investigation by local police. Five years later the investigation was turned over to the federal ATF. After a TV special broadcast a $50,000 reward, a horde of jailhouse snitches and people from the rundown Marlborough community adjacent to the blast site came forward with wild and inconsistent stories based on rumor. Federal investigators and prosecutors, using hardball tactics, pieced together a conviction against the Marlborough Five that was based on a record number of informers. Most were paid off with reduced sentences or slivers of reward money. Trial testimony was wildly inconsistent, but a biased federal judge thwarted every defense attempt to penetrate the false testimony. In the years since, many of the witnesses have recanted and a federal investigation reported that two 'other' perpetrators--which the government refuses to name'exist. One of the Marlborough Five died in prison and one has been released based on his status as a juvenile sentenced to life imprisonment. Three others sit in prison while the palpable facts of an obvious miscarriage of justice are hidden from view by federal authorities more concerned with saving face than doing justice."-- Marvin Zalman , coeditor of Wrongful Conviction and Criminal Justice Reform: Making Justice, This is a powerful story that needs to be told--and O'Connor knows how to tell it, flashing his narrative chops from the get-go with a riveting description of the explosions.
