Rattle of the Keys: True story of a wrongful conviction in Ada, Oklahoma

by Matthew Thompson

This is a true story. The facts of the case are from pre-trial interviews, conversations and phone calls, trial transcripts, investigator’s reports and sworn affidavits. All of the new evidence is documented and was formally presented at some point in the appeal for a new trial. Some names have been changed. I started keeping a journal from the first day in jail. I didn’t know how I would ever prove my innocence, but I did know that I was an innocent man starting a prison sentence. The journal entries in the second part of the book carry you through the ups and downs of prison days and my appeals. Experience as I did…the arrest, conviction at trial (acquittal on one charge) and sentencing for a crime I didn’t commit. After nineteen months in prison, discover with me as new evidence comes to investigator’s reports and sworn affidavits, about Rita and her accusations against men of rapes, beatings, abductions, knifings, shootings, devil ritual participations, animal killings, break-ins, molestations of her children and setting fire to her home. Waiting for my legal appeal and new evidence to save the day, I was on a rollercoaster of hope...for justice. MATT THOMPSON
