An awful lot of speculation

Prologue ~ Travesty of Justice: The Dr. Adam Frasch Case

Image
PROLOGUE I don’t know when I first started believing that Dr. Adam Frasch was innocent.  John Henry Newman, a doctor and a saint in the Catholic Church, talks of the grammar of assent, of all the little things that lead up to you believing something. And such was the case for me when it came to Doc’s innocence. But in a way, I think I knew it from the very first letter. I had written to murderers, and he just didn’t sound like one.  That was on August 18, 2020. Doc was the cellmate of ‘Tiger,’ a man I had been writing to for a couple of years. Before Tiger, I had been corresponding with prisoners for about three years. Tiger got my address from another inmate, Juan, who had been released and sent back to Cuba. Tiger was serving three life sentences for armed robbery, a crime he said he didn’t commit. He had a long list of other offences, but this one he said he didn’t do. There was video surveillance at the place he had supposedly robbed that would have proven it wasn’t him, b...

Who was Samira Frasch?

Image
The prosecutor wanted the jury to think Samira Frasch was a frightened woman who could barely speak English, trapped in America by her husband, Adam. The reality was so different. Samira was a capable business woman, former model, who was promoting a new line of baby clothing when she died. The professional photographers she hired show a life completely different from the one Georgia Cappleman wanted the jury believed.   In addition to her modelling she was also a singer.  Before she died, the Frasches were even talking about doing a reality tv show. A behind-the-scenes look at her life is all it takes to debunk the prosecutor's version of Samira Frasch as a vulnerable, trapped woman.

What action YOU can take

If you are concerned about what you've read at the Free Doc Frasch blog and about whether anyone gets a fair trial in America, please contact the  Florida Governor's office  to ask them to re-examine the evidence in the Adam Frasch case and grant a pardon to an innocent man.

A simple case

Frasch family pool / Tallahassee Democrat Hummer that a neighbour saw Samira put something in shortly before her death. This case is relatively simple.  Samira Frasch was found dead in the bottom of her pool by first responders. Her handyman had “found” her and called 911. Everything about it looked like a recent death, no pruning of fingers or toes. First responders even tried to revive her death looked so recent.  Plus, it came out in the investigation that a neighbour had seen her alive about half an hour earlier putting something into her vehicle. Her husband had left the house hours earlier and had verifiably driven too far away to have done it. The only person who fit the time frame for her murder was her handyman. And, yet, in court, everything about this simple case was turned upside down and inside out to make it look like Samira’s husband did it.  Travesty of Justice: The Dr. Adam Frasch Case goes into all the details of the case to show that if you follow the ...

Innocent? You might not get a fair trial.

I admire the podcasters who can bring true crime cases alive for people. And certainly there have been many, many podcasts made about the Frasch case.  Not my gift, though. I do better putting my thoughts on paper, so to speak. Which is why during the pandemic I ended up looking into the Dr. Adam Frasch case.  At the time I was writing to an inmate in Florida—something I had gotten into through an online ministry—and he had just gotten a new cellmate, the well-known Dr. Adam Frasch. Well-known to most of Florida, that is. Not to me up in Canada. My friend in prison had a lot to say about him. It was the lockdown and the two men were stuck in a cell all day together with nothing to do but talk. My friend asked me to look online and tell him more about the Frasch case. He wanted to determine whether his cellmate was guilty or innocent. He knew that Doc, as he was called in prison, maintained his innocence, but was it really true? Initially I found it an onerous request. I certai...
