Trial and Error

Believe it or not, one of the most effective things you could do to help Dennis Dechaine is to write letters to newspapers and pubic officials. Imagine if the thousands of people who have expressed support for a retrial each wrote to their local paper and legislators. You don’t have to be an expert in the facts of the case. Just speaking out for what you think is right will make a significant impact.
