It is stated innocent until proven guilty, but often in our culture it is guilty until proven innocent. Depending on your race, color or creed being at the wrong place at the wrong time can cost you your innocence and/or your life. Sometimes we are the casualty of a system's conclusion. So how do you overcome the system's conclusion when you are deemed guilty? This book tells the thrilling true story of a boxing icon's redemptive story. This is a raw account of the fight of DeMarcus Rogers' life.
- Chris Sands Speaks
- Author, Speaker, and Community Activist. Guilty Until Proven Innocent is a wake up call for everybody. DeMarcus' story is another reflection of a systemic problem as it relates to policing and criminal justice in The United States of America. If you are an advocate for social justice let this in your face story fuel your passion to either keep up the good fight or to join in.
- Eric D. Capehart, Sr
- Mental Health Counselor for Social Justice
- Founder of Experience Mental Health Even when the system works, it can cause a lot of pain. DeMarcus has written a visceral, very real account of his interaction with our legal and judicial system. His arrest and prosecution were based on bogus claims that he managed to beat, yet the shame, stress and anger still linger.
- Samuel J. Gowin
- Attorney DeMarcus Rogers tells a story that demands attention. Like the fighter he is, Rogers writes with a voice that is tenacious, determined and complex, as he moves between his own personal story and the larger story of race, color and racism in this city and country. Reading this taught me many things.
- David Cook
- City Columnist, Chattanooga Times Free Press Guilty Until Proven Innocent is a poignant coming of age book about a young man who although falsely accused still finds a way to believe in the power of justice in a very injustice system. This memoir is candid, introspective, and will make any of us with brown sons think about the power of the law, the media, and the justice system and how it adversely affects our families, our society and our race. Kudos to Marcus for giving us this must read perspective on how this small moment in time changed his life forever for the good and the bad.
