Malicious Prosecution
The cost of prevailing in appeal
A true story of wrongful conviction, unwavering faith, and the cost of prevailing on appeal.
One overturned death-row case.
One life sentence. Zero evidence that holds up
Jamie Madrigal escaped death row—but not the system that put him there.
After winning an appeal in an unrelated case, Jamie became the target of a new prosecution built not on facts, but on retaliation. In 2005, prosecutors linked him to a 1995 cold-case murder using a narrative they knew was false. Alibi evidence was erased. A co-defendant passed a polygraph—ignored. Two credible suspects? Silenced.
This is the story of a mother who watched her innocent son be sentenced to 126 years to life, not because of guilt, but because a prosecutor needed to protect her political legacy.
Told with raw honesty and spiritual depth, Malicious Prosecution reveals how truth was buried to preserve a lie—and how love and faith became the only defense left.
This book is not just Jamie’s story. It’s a warning. And a call to action
