Trial and Error
The Outcry for Justice in the Dennis Dechaine Case
Human Sacrifice: On the Altar of Injustice
This is the story of injustice: an innocent man bulldozed into life imprisonment and kept there by a legal community that doesn't give a damn. Americans really need to know that every story doesn't have a happy ending. And it could happen to anyone.
This terrible story began when a beautiful, innocent child approaching the adventure of adolescence was desecrated and discarded in a lonely wood. A tidal wave of outrage overwhelmed the public. Officials charged with protecting us from such nightmares were swept into a state of desperation.
"Human Sacrifice" chronicles the chilling series of events that led the State of Maine to railroad an innocent man, a thirty year old, college educated farmer never before even suspected of a crime, into life imprisonment. In Maine, life imprisonment means "until you're dead."

I would encourage everyone to pick up a copy of Liberty’s Prison: The Inmate’s Son Who Radically Reformed an American Prison. The book features the life and career of Maine’s Commissioner of Corrections Randall “Randy” Liberty and includes interviews with several men who are currently incarcerated at the Maine State Prison. Although the author uses pseudonyms, I’m certain that the man named “John” is Dennis. This book gives us a glimpse into “John’s” life behind bars, an opportunity to learn about all of the good he is doing for the benefit of his fellow inmates. No one who knows Dennis will be the least bit surprised!
