Hello everyone, this is Carol Buckley Frazier, John Calvin’s Aunt. I’ve been involved in John’s case for the past several years, trying to help overturn his unjust conviction, helping to manage his finances and making it very clear that he is well loved and missed. It’s been a while since I’ve written an update, mainly because [...]
John is in the middle of appealing his conviction on the federal level, one that has already taken over 10 years of his life as an innocent man in prison. Knowing that only 3-4% of appeals ever make it past the procedural barriers for a retrial, we have hired experts to discover new evidence in his [...]
The following Open Letter is written by my nephew, John Calvin Buckley, an inmate at KY State Penitentiary.

Here we've attached two songs written by John and other friends as part of the Songwriting with Soldiers program. Shine We did 24 months [...]

Many of us, given our background in military, in law enforcement, and in various forms of service to our country have grown up with the belief that the legal system can do no wrong. That it was indeed a JUSTICE System, and not purely a method of putting massive numbers into prisons that profit from staying full. [...]
We send John word of your support while he waits behind bars for his wrongful conviction to be reviewed. For someone in the Kentucky legal system to take note. We can't tell you how appreciative John is, and he's working to share more about his experience being locked up for a crime he did not commit in [...]
