Bernard Baran and his attorney, John Swomley

Dear Friend of Bee,

On April 17, 2012, Bernard Baran and his attorney, John Swomley, visited a criminal justice class at St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

Here is a link to the video.

An unscrupulous prosecutor rode a wave of homophobic hysteria to get his career-advancing conviction. (Disgracefully, he is still a judge in Massachusetts.) Baran, an innocent man arrested when only 19, survived 22 years of rapes, beatings, and degradation. The Berkshire County still refuses to acknowledge the terrible mistakes that they made.

    I’m very happy to see Bee looking well and fit! It’s amazing how today Bee has taken personal responsibility for his own well being and happiness but a simple apology (to start) from those manipulating his case on the other side seems impossible. Keep going B!
