DETROIT BOOK LAUNCH, PLS COME! www.eventbrite.com/e/book-launc...

My dear friend Josh Sharpe’s debut book got a glowing review in the Post today. “‘The Man No One Believed’ inspires powerful, mixed emotions: fury at the failings of the justice system, and gratitude for organizations like the Georgia Innocence Project and indefatigable journalists like Sharpe.”

Read an excerpt of THE MAN NO ONE BELIEVED and learn more about the author @joshuasharpe.bsky.social in this piece from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: www.ajc.com/arts-enterta...

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is out with a lovely story on….ME?! www.ajc.com/arts-enterta...

I'm so lucky--I get to read this ahead of the pub date! The Man No One Believed, by @joshuasharpe.bsky.social, is about a 1985 double homicide in a South Georgia church that and the long investigation to find the killer. Stay tuned for my ArtsATL review in the next few weeks!

We're in the final day of an emergency fundraising campaign at @wunc.org (due to the pulling of federal funding). We need the support of North Carolinians now more than ever. And that's why I'm asking Bill Belichick, once again, to become a sustaining member, at any level. www.wunc.org/donate

The great @hurwitz.bsky.social reports that ICE is using Canary Mission to build a database of pro-Palestine activists to target for harassment, detainment, and deportation. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thanks to @gardenandgun.com for putting “The Man No Believed” alongside these amazing authors and their new/coming soon books! “Sharpe…practices Journalism with a capital J.”

Coming Aug. 5. So soon!

Just three days left in the Goodreads giveaway for my upcoming book. www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sho...

Today I was at a stoplight in Detroit and someone in the backseat of the SUV in front of me cracked the door and placed onto the pavement, a single yellow marshmallow peep, closing the door. When the light turned, they drove away.

So honored by the advanced praise for “The Man No One Believed: the Untold Story of the Georgia Church Murders”:

I got the first copies of advanced readers for my first book, "The Man No One Believed: The Untold Story of the Georgia Church Murders." It comes out Aug. 5 and details the murders of Harold and Thelma Swain in their historic Black church—40 years ago this week—and the still unfolding aftermath.

“The Chewa people of Malawi created this mask of Elvis Presley, called ‘Elvisi,’ as a tool to warn young people about the undesirable Western values he, and other American celebrities, represented.”

Atlanta police have set up secret surveillance cameras outside of Stop Cop City activists' houses and gathering spots––and they refuse to answer any questions about the cameras www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

My story is on the front of the New York Times today. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/u...

If DNA testing were just available — especially to people convicted before the late 1990s/early 2000s when DNA became more widely used in prosecutions — how many horror stories would be confirmed?

This #longread is about a man who worked a death-row case 20 years ago as a detective and now, as a United Methodist minister, believes he got it wrong. Mostly, it's about certainty. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

we have a ***free*** newsletter about criminal justice and frankly its GREAT!!!!! sign up hereeeeeeeee

a painful story about prosecutorial regret for putting a nonviolent small-time offender away forever — this should be mandated reading for anyone working as a prosecutor or judge in our cruelly punitive system www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/u... bsky.app

What a frustrating, sad story— with a big slice of the blame going to Askew's two incompetent lawyers: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/u...

My latest, out today in the New York Times, is a rare story: A prisoner—representing himself in court—calls his witness: the prosecutor who unfairly put him away for life without parole. The prosecutor admits he was wrong. Will it matter? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/u...

My caption didn’t make it but….yall really, really have to read this.

I’ve been in Detroit for one hour.

I’m on Bluesky.
