“It's been a pleasure—and an honor—to have been a part of this.”
– Stan Stoga, Editor of The Monfils Conspiracy
"This story has inherent emotional power and the authors successfully engage the reader in the story of this injustice... it is obvious that the authors did extensive research."
--an early review of the The Monfils Conspiracy
"The Monfils Conspiracy tells the story of a grave human tragedy. It is a story of profound injustice which continues to destroy the lives of several wrongly convicted men and their families."
--Professor Lawrence Marshall, Stanford Law School
New Revelations in Green Bay’s Most
Notorious Murder Case. The . . .
· Cassette Tape and Electrical Wire that led to death.
· "Bubbler Confrontation” that never happened.
· "Union Conspiracy” and “Monfils Six” myths destroyed.
· Eyewitnesses to Innocence.
· Second-by-Second Timeline that says the cops got it wrong.
· Fog of Guilt that clouded the police investigation.
· Premature Conclusion that drove that investigation:
"Way to go, Kutska."
· Falsified Documents of the lead detective.
· Manipulated, Manufactured, and Ignored Evidence.
· Shakedown and Intimidation of law-abiding citizens.
· Joint Trial that guaranteed injustice.
· State's Case: no physical evidence or eyewitnesses. As all six of these men know, based on their incarceration and the entire terrible thing that the DA continues to call “Justice”… someone would have “snitched,” “sold out,” or lied to save themselves, but although each was offered immunity none of them accepted. I have watched inmates “snitch” over a candy-bar. No man guilty of murder surrenders his life, his family, and freedom when he could have walked away with the DA’s offer. —Eric Aaron Navis, 15 years, WI Dept of Corrections
· D A's phony "key" piece of evidence.
· Recantation of prosecution witness Brian Kellner.
· Curious Public Record of prosecution witness David Wiener.
· Mountain of Reasonable Doubt the jury should have seen.
· Facts the jury was kept from seeing.
· Monfils Juror who apologized to Mike Piaskowski, stating
that it was just too easy to convict all of the men.
· Documents they won’t let us see.
· The Tears of Unbelievable Sorrow for the men's families.
