A beautiful Denver resident, Carol Hebert, was murdered in 2001. Police immediately arrested her husband Hal, without probable cause, then colluded with prosecutors to create and use evidence they knew to be untrue in order to convict him of a murder he did not commit.
Just ten weeks after Hal Hebert’s trial, police and prosecutors learned the spectacular truth about their star witness, whom they had coached to provide pivotal perjurious testimony: HE WAS A SECRETLY PRACTICING SERIAL KILLER.
The prosecutors’ star witness pleaded guilty to numerous murders and other felonies and was sentenced to multiple life terms in prison, where he has confessed to many more crimes–INCLUDING THE MURDER OF CAROL HEBERT.
Denver officials withheld all this information from Hal Hebert. They intended to allow him to die in prison in order to protect their careers.
Years passed before Mr. Hebert was able to discover the astonishing facts that should set him free. But Colorado courts have resisted all of his efforts to get a fair hearing.
Newly elected Denver District Attorney Beth McCann has looked at this case and found it to be so dubious that her office’s new “Conviction Review Unit” is re-examining the conviction, the first such voluntary inquiry into an old murder case in the history of Denver.
Our Constitution guarantees due process to every accused person. Due process is defined simply as a fair hearing. A trial wherein the prosecutors purposely bring perjurious testimony and false physical evidence can never be defined as a fair hearing. PLEASE HELP TO ENSURE THAT HAL HEBERT FINALLY RECEIVES A
FAIR HEARING
