At an Innocence Project dinner, Peggy Sanders danced with Dennis Fritz, who was sent to prison for her daughter’s murder.In the Face of Great Loss, Embracing Innocence By JIM DWYERPublished:New York Times May 10, 2008The woman was seated just two chairs away at the table, but the man had to speak over music that filled the room. At an Innocence Project dinner, Peggy Sanders danced with Dennis Fritz, who was sent to prison for her daughter’s murder. “Peggy,” he said.For a minute, Peggy Sanders did not hear her name being called. She is 65 and was visiting New York this week for the first time from a small town in Oklahoma to attend a big benefit dinner. As a young virtuoso played piano, Ms. Sanders swayed slightly in her chair. “Peggy,” the man said.She glanced up.“Want to
Dennis Fritz, Author of Journey Toward Justice,arrived in Vermillion, South Dakota, to share his nightmare-out-of-hell story, of the unjust and wrongful conviction for 1st Degree Capital Murder— that he had to suffer for 12 grueling years before justice finally prevailed.April 7, 2008, Upon entering the South Dakota Law School, Dennis was warmly greeted with open arms by the entirely of the Innocence Project staff members, and students. After refreshments and pictures, Dennis was escorted to the Courtroom forum, where a crowd of over 200 people awaited his presence.

Evansville, Indiana (ThaLunatic Daily) -- Jennifer Kay Fritz, a 23 year old student teacher at Perry Heights Middle School has been arrested on accusations that she falsely reported a threat of violence to school administrators, resulting in a school lock-down, increased security and disruption to school operations. Bonus: The teacher just wanted to take the day off.According to the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department, Fritz created a false name and email account and proceeded to send the school principal an alarming email. The email, which was sent on April 10th, indicated that she had overheard a group of "young males" discussing an attack on the school. The email also implied that the group would be armed and that the males bragged "We will be famous. Perry Heights will neve
February 15, 2008, the Midwestern Innocence Project in Kansas City, Missouri, launched the beginning of it’s celebrative kickoff, to establish their directives and goals to exonerate falsely-convicted people out of prison.Lawyers, media, Paralegals, Investigators, and Volunteers, took their seats—following the “free lunch”—anxiously awaiting, as Executive Director, Jay Swearingen, introduced Dennis Fritz as the keynote speaker for the day’s event.Dennis, through his positive attitude, and precise speaking abilities, conveyed the torturous account of his very painful and exhausting journey— of the 12 year nightmare that he underwent—of being falsely convicted for 1st Degree Capitol Murder. At times, during his talk, his voice would sometimes quiver as partial tears would fo

Dennis Fritz, the "co-conspirator" in Grisham's 2006 book, "The Innocent Man", Favors Bill That Would Halt the Death Penalty in Missouri...A man wrongfully imprisoned for 12 years for murder who was profiled in John Grisham's nonfiction best seller "The Innocent Man" urged lawmakers Thursday to support a three-year death penalty moratorium in Missouri.Dennis Fritz, the "co-conspirator" in Grisham's 2006 book, told the House's Crime Prevention and Public Safety committee Tuesday that capital punishment should be suspended until the state can review the cases of inmates sitting on death row to ensure the convictions were proper and accurate."There are many, many other people out there -- it's my opinion -- on death row that are innocent," sai

One day before freedom:I got back up in my bunk and pondered the many questions that plagued my mind. When I awoke to the jangle of keys in the door, I realized that I must have dozed off for a while. The guard said that there were some people there to see me. I followed him to the visiting room.As I turned to enter, I saw a beautiful young woman standing in front of me. In a split second, I realized that this radiant woman with the beautiful smile was Elizabeth. My blessed mother was standing by her side. An uncontrollable feeling welled up in my chest and I began to cry. In that very same visiting room years earlier I had last seen Elizabeth as a young girl.Now she was grown up. She looked so much like her mother. We stood for a moment, uncertain about what to do as we stared at each oth
On a very cold, frosty, early December morning, I made a decision that I needed some down time for myself, to re-coup, and regain a new perspective about the direction of my life.Having lived in Kansas City, Missouri, since my release from prison on April 15, 1999—after serving 12 years for a capitol murder, I knew nothing about— I decided to go to the Philippines to promote my book, Journey Toward Justice.I was a little unsure of what to expect (as I had never been on a vacation by myself ), as the overwhelming noise from the powerful jet-engines began to roar, engulfing me with mixtures of anticipation and tingling excitement. As the giant bird lifted from the runway, I looked out the small-framed, interior window with the realization that I would actually be in Manila, Philippines,
In an interview published in yesterday’s Jackson Free Press, Grisham says he met many wrongfully convicted people while researching the book, and “it doesn’t take too many conversations with men who are imprisoned and will probably never get out, who are innocent, to kind of flip you, to make you suddenly aware of this problem. That’s what happened to me.”It was Ron Williamson’s obituary in the Dec. 9, 2004, issue of The New York Times that caught attorney and author John Grisham’s eye.“It had all the elements of a novel,” Grisham said in an interview with the Jackson Free Press. “The small town Southern feel to it; the small town sport hero going off to make his mark in the major leagues and failing; a grizzly murder; a wrongful conviction; a trip to death row; insanit

Das wird ja immer toller mit 1 & 1. Gestern Abend habe ich mal Telefoniert (soll ja vorkommen) und da stürzt mir doch drei mal hintereinander meine Fritz-Box ab. Ich dachte so etwas gibt es nur unter Windows?
Also Gespräch weg und auch das Internet lief nicht mehr. Da werfe ich einen Blick auf meine Fritz-Box und sehe, wie die Power-LED fröhlich vor sich hin Blinkt und alle anderen LEDs in vollkommener Dunkelheit glänzen. Auf den letzten Firmwarestand, ist die Fritz-Box ebenfalls, also daran kann es definitiv nicht liegen.
Das interessante daran ist, dass ich wie üblich per VoIP telefoniert habe, also über das Internet und auch meinen Gesprächspartner unter einer VoIP-Nummer angerufen habe, welcher oh Wunder, ebenfalls bei 1 & 1 Kunde ist mit ebenso einer selbigen Fritz-Box.

Did you know that the 2000 Ford Focus was one of the most recalled cars of all time? I didn’t, until today.
My car is in a shop. A shop owned by a friends dad, so that is the good news. I pulled the value of my 2001 Focus today. . . it is worth 2600. I am crossing my fingers and hoping the bill is considerably less.
I don’t want to have to abandon it on the side of the road like I did the old Ford Taurus Station Wagon (the white knight).
Anybody want to buy a slightly used Focus?
Seven Locks Press in Santa Ana is small-time, publishing about 25 titles a year. But it has joined big boys Doubleday and Random House, as well as author John Grisham and defense attorney Barry Scheck, as defendants in a defamation lawsuit involving the justice – or rather the in justice – system in the small town of Ada, Okla. The lawsuit is one of the best things that's ever happened to Seven Locks and its owner, Jim Riordan. "Quite frankly, when I get to put my name next to Grisham and Random House – I'll take that any day," says Riordan, who I met a few years ago when he was working with Deacon Jones on a charity fundraiser. At the center of the lawsuit is an Oklahoma prosecutor by the name of William N. Peterson. He got murder convictions on two men who did 12 years in prison before they were cleared by DNA evidence. He also got questionable convictions on two other men in a separate murder case. They are still in prison. The cases spawned three books: "The Dreams of Ada"

Dennis Fritz, who wrote the book, "Journey Toward Justice", is named as a defendant in a libel lawsuit along with , John Grisham, author of "The Innocent Man", Robert Mayer, author of "The Dreams of Ada", and all their publishers, and New York City attorney Barry Scheck, Fritz's former lawyer who once represented Fritz and is co-director of The Innocence Project. With the aid of Barry Scheck and irrefutable DNA evidence, Dennis Fritz and Ron Williamson were exonerated in 1999. Pontotoc County District Attorney Bill Peterson and Gary Rogers, a former agent for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation filed the libel lawsuit. The lawsuit, seeks at least $75,000 compensation and demands a jury trial. Peterson and Rogers were instrumental in the conviction of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz in the murder of Debbie Sue Carter in Ada, Oklahoma in 1982. The conviction was later overturned on DNA evidence pursued by the Innocence Project, which Scheck heads, Dennis Fritz was wrongfully
“The problem is that Mr. Peterson convicted two innocent men, sent Ronnie and I to the penitentiary for 12 years, based upon alleged evidence that did not go beyond a reasonable doubt.”Fritz said the lawsuit is merely a power play by Peterson “to regain what he has lost because of his actions, or mis-actions.”“He cannot handle the truth that’s been brought out in both Mr. Grisham’s book as well as mine. Dennis Fritz said every word in his book is true as he remembered the events of that time.“Factually, it’s backed up exactly by every word out of the transcript,” he said.Fritz said that Peterson achieved their convictions through “several huge mistakes, worse than mistakes, travesties of justice.”“He doesn’t want to face the truth, really, of what happened,” he said. “He wants to try to make everybody believe that, in fact, he has not done anything wrong.”I just want to say every word, every part of my book, is 100 percent factual."

Dennis Fritz, author of "Journey Toward Justice", read the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling to the lone juror who saved him from the death penalty.The poem was read to Bonnie Flowers at a book signing in Ada, Oklahoma. Fritz told the audience, that if Bonnie had not had the courage to stand up for him then he was sure he would have been put to death.Dennis Fritz read the Rudyard Kipling poem “If”, to Bonnie Flowers as it had special meaning to him. The poem was given to him early in his prison sentence by his aunt who died just eight days before he was released. In his book dedication he writes- "To the lord for giving me the emotional strength and perseverance to endure, and to my mother, Aunt Wilma, and Elizabeth for their continued strength and support" -Here is the Poem"IF" by Rudyard KiplingIf you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you;If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,But make allowance for their doubting too;If you can wait

Crap, my laptop is on the fritz. Ugh! This sucks. I am currently on my old desktop. I had to borrow my husbands nice flatscreen monitor, because I couldn’t even look at my old tube monitor, it’s in such awful shape. If I had to look at that, I’d not be on the computer, and I’d not be blogging. Unless I could hook the desktop up to my HDTV, which I think I could do in a pinch.
So today the laptop goes to the shop. I am quite upset. I am pretty confident I can get all the data off it, though. So this is just a pain. It won’t even turn on. No power. Yesterday it shut down on me suddenly, no warning, and wouldn’t start again.
So, it might be time for a new laptop, which sucks, because this one is only a year and a half old.
Lo devo ammettere, oramai ci ho preso gusto a pattare contro il fritz8!

Let's get out of here and find out where it's happenin'." As we drove past the high-rise dorms, Ronnie said, "Pull over there, Dennie Leon, and let's check that basketball game out." What's the deal? I thought you wanted to check out another club and get some of those pretty babes. Isn't that what you said?" Watching a men's basketball game outdoors was the last thing I wanted to do when there was a possibility of meeting a couple of nice looking gals. But I pulled over and allowed Ronnie his request. Ronnie got out of the car and retrieved his guitar from the backseat. I stayed in the driver's seat and watched as he approached the basketball court. with his guitar strapped around his neck. I was reluctant to join him. I didn't want to interfere with the game. Secondly, all of the players were black and I didn't know

Grisham writes about Ron Williamson and his role in the case.

With the attendees of 36,000, almost 2,000 publishers, 1,262 authors and 3,400 librarians the convention floor of the Javits Center was extremely crowed! Who would believe you would bump into old friends.On Sat. June 2, while Dennis Fritz and I were walking down the isles to get some lunch, we heard "Dennis Fritz is that you?". He heard that called a dozen of times since his appearance on Dateline last May 22, while at the book expo. Many people started a conversation with Dennis which ended with him giving them a signed copy of his book. This time was different. He heard the voice and did not know where it was coming from. This one isle we were walking down had over 100 people going in both directions, carrying loads of books. The crowd was very friendly, and there were people from all over the world. I heard the word excuse me in many languages, (at least to my limited , basic knowledge of languages) I believe, were excuse me. The mystery ended when 2 arms reached out from the crowd
Jan., 2007, I read Dennis Fritz's book "Journey Toward Justice" . I was so influenced by this book, I started my first blog, barbarasblogspot.blogspot.com - titled, "Barbara's Journey Toward Justice". I decided to join Dennis Fritz's Journey to bring public awareness to issues such as:Wrongful Convictions - Death Penalty - The Exonerated - Faith - The Criminal Justice System and The Innocence Project.In the past 6 months I have received hundreds of emails from people all over the world. Last month I received an email from James Riordan - Seven Locks Press the Publisher of Dennis Fritz's Book. Mr. Riordan invited me to the Book Expo 2007 NYC Jacob Javits Center. I answered his email saying, yes, in a few days he sent me tickets. I must say, I was very excited to get to meet and talk with Dennis Fritz. I will post more about the show and my meeting Dennis Fritz at a later date. I had a wonderful time, Dennis Fritz is an amazing gentleman with some great stories. There is just so much

I had just gotten back from the Apple Aperture Website and the one thing I couldn't help but notice was that they had awesome large displays. You know, 30+ inches, enough to see all the gory details in any high res photoshoot. I had been thinking of setting up a viewing room for photoshoots and this seemed like a good idea. The only downer? I didn't want to build it myself and I wanted professionals to do the work, so I am guaranteed of a positive experience.

Book Excerpt From Journey Toward Justice Author Dennis FritzBook Foreword Barry Scheck The Innocence ProjectWhen Dennis Fritz testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of the Innocence Protection Act - legislation that ultimately passed that supports efforts to get post-conviction DNA testing for those claiming innocence - I actually saw tears in the eyes of worldly politicians who for decades had heard an endless stream of moving stories from multitude of witnesses. Among them were Senator Patrick Leahy, Democrat from Vermont and the legislation's sponsor and great champion, and Senator Orrin Hatch, Republican from Utah. Indeed, Senator Hatch said with unmistakable sincerity that he was humbled by what Dennis had to say. I thought that phrase deftly captured what everyone was feeling - a sense of awe that this man could survive and recount his incredible, hair-raising life story passionately, modestly, and thoughtfully all at once. And what a life story it is - the l

Fritz, originally uploaded by silas216. Fritz is visiting our place for the next week. Naturally, I had no sooner entered the house and saw him than I reached for the leash to take him for a walk. Which, it seems, everyone else did, too. That dog got more walks in one day than he's had all week.

Tuesday Tasting is a regular feature of Lyke2Drink that explores some of the best beers, wines and spirits on the market. This week we head to San Francisco to check up on the multi-tasking Fritz Maytag and try a little bit of all three.Fritz Maytag is one of the founding fathers of the American craft brewing movement. If he had done nothing more than save a failing San Francisco brewery in 1965, and with it the Steam Beer (California Common) style, we would all owe him a debt of gratitude. But Maytag has done much, much more. Anchor Brewing is a success story. Anchor Liberty Ale, Porter, Old Foghorn Barleywine, Christmas Ale and other products should be on every beer lover's "to drink" list. In 1968, Maytag started to operate a Napa Valley vineyard, selling grapes to wineries. It was not until 2000 that the company opened a winery in Spring Mountain. In 1993, Anchor quietly began distilling, releasing a whiskey in 1996 and a gin in 1998."Over the last 40 years we've proven the small

Library Journal (Wednesday, November 01, 2006)In April 1999, Fritz walked out of court a free man after spending 11 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. He maintained his innocence from day one against the pressure of detectives, prosecutors, the judge, and the jury. The tide began to turn after Barry Scheck's Innocence Project took on his case. While the blow-by-blow descriptions of Fritz's arrest, hearing, trial, and prison life can be tedious, this book is hard to put down. Readers will keep wondering when someone is going to listen to Fritz and do the right thing, but in the meantime it's almost like watching a train wreck in slow motion. In the process of sharing his story, Fritz comes across as truly remarkable and resilient. The only thing missing from the book is the story of his life since his release. Did the prosecutor and detectives express any remorse? What of the details of the real murderer's conviction? And how has the victim's family fared? There should

At the recommendation of one of my mentors, about a year ago I picked up Twyla Tharp's The Creative Habit. While I've skimmed passages and found it encouraging, I have yet to read it. I considered it a wake up call when I read this passage from Robert Fritz's monthly email:
Tharp talks about her work habits, often repetitive, often ritualistic. About her daily exercise routine, she writes, "It's a simple act, but doing it the same way each morning habitualizes it - makes it repeatable, easy to do." And she advises, "It's vital to establish some rituals - automatic but decisive patterns of behavior - at the beginning of the creative process, when you are most at peril of turning back, chickening out, giving up, or going the wrong way."
People in the arts know this principle as fact. The creative process is not a product of inspiration, rather it is a product of what we might call a creative state of being. Yes, there are moments of inspiration. But those moments can be a

As I've probably mentioned before, I've been gradually working my way through Robert Fritz' excellent Creating for several weeks now. I was reading a chapter called "What Matters to You", when this passage hit me like a lightning bolt:
Sometimes I have a particular creation in mind. It may not be especially good or important or meaningful, but I create it anyway. Perhaps it is a painting I have in mind. Once I paint it, I am able to conceive of an even better painting, one that I may not have thought of before. In a way, I have to get the first painting out of my system before I can go on to the next, even though the new painting may have nothing in common with the previous one. But the relationship between one painting and the next is more than sequential; the new creation rests on the previous project. Because I brought the first painting to completion, I can easily move to something new, something I might not have done had I not painted the first. Once one painting is co
In the sixth and final game of World Chess Challenge, chess computer Deep Fritz(Germany - white) held onto its lead against Vladimir Kramnik (Russia - black), and even notched up a second win against the World Champion. That means the world's leading chess computer is the ultimate winner of the Man vs. Machine duel. Four draws and two wins for Deep Fritz - that's the legacy of World Chess Challenge, which excited fans all over the world have been following closely since November 25.
After more than four-and-a-half hours and 47 moves, Vladimir Kramnik accepted the defeat against his opponent - an opponent whose computational abilities are almost unfathomable: Deep Fritz calculated eight to ten million positions a second during World Chess Challenge. The audience at the Federal Art Hall in Bonn responded to today's epic battle between human and artificial intelligence with applause. The World Chess Challenge Cup was then handed over to the Deep Fritz team in a presentation ceremon
Today's battle between World Champion Vladimir Kramnik (Russia) and chess computer Deep Fritz (Germany) in the Federal Art Hall, with five and a half hours and 54 moves the longest match of World Chess Challenge 2006 so far, ended with a draw. After four matches out of six, Deep Fritz thus continues to lead Kramnik by one point.
For the first time in the World Chess Challenge 2006 a game was opened with 1.e4. With Fritz playing white, Kramnik opted for the Russian defense. Just as in the third match, Fritz quickly took the initiative and began to exert enormous pressure on Kramnik. The Russian world champion, though, drew on his considerable defensive skills once more and successfully countered Fritz's moves, denying the computer any real leverage. In the endgame Deep Fritz pitted two rooks and a bishop against Kramnik's pair of rooks and a knight. Following the exchange of both rooks, Fritz's strong bishop and active king put him in a slightly superior position in the bishop-kn

Prior to the final match in World Chess Challenge 2006, chess computer Deep Fritz (Germany) remains one point ahead of World Champion Vladimir Kramnik (Russia). Today's fifth match in the sold-out Federal Art Hall in Bonn ended in a tie after three-and-a-half hours and 35 moves. That leaves Kramnik with one more chance to win a game and catch up with the world's leading chess computer - in the final match to be held this Tuesday at 3 p.m. Kramnik played white for the third time in today's match, opening again with 1.d4. Deep Fritz responded with the Nimzoindian Defense. The two opponents swept through the opening - Kramnik emerged with a slight advantage over the computer. The 31-year-old World Champion seized the initiative with a pair of bishops. After a piece exchange, Kramnik's two rooks and bishop faced off against Deep Fritz's two rooks and knight. Once again, the bishop was pitted against the knight. Confronted with a position of great tactical complexity, Kramnik had to co
After four hours and 44 moves of play, today's third match in World Chess Challenge 2006 between World Champion Vladimir Kramnik (Russia) and the world's leading chess computer program, Deep Fritz, (Germany) ended in a draw. For the first time in this competition, Deep Fritz (black) took the initiative and exerted enormous pressure on Kramnik. The Catalan opening put the computer in a superior position - Vladimir Kramnik had to mount a very precise defense in order to maintain his own position.Deep Fritz was not interested in capturing material. Instead, it sacrificed a pawn in its 16th move in order to obtain a development advantage. However, the Russian World Champion successfully neutralized the machine's advantage. By making an exchange sacrifice in the 38th move, Kramnik managed to build an impenetrable King's fortress and finished the game with a draw.Following his defeat in the second match, Kramnik took far more time to plan his initial moves than in the first two games.
