The Miscarriage of Justice by the FBI of Dr. Joe Parker

An early adopter of computers, Dr. Joe Parker explores AOL chat rooms, where all content downloads directly to subscribers' computers. During one online session, Parker stumbles across a chat room dedicated to child pornography.

Based on a true story of injustice and wrongful imprisonment, "The Miscarriage of Justice by The FBI of Dr. Joe Parker" is a sobering description of how assumptions, FBI ineptitude, and judicial self-interest devastated one man's life.

Sickened by his discovery, the ex-marine contacts the FBI, inadvertently triggering what is to become a legal and personal nightmare. Advised by the FBI not to delete the images from his computer, Joe waits for the law to take action. It does-against him.

Agents from the US Customs Department seize Parker's computer. When Parker explains he'd contacted the FBI, the bureau denies ever hearing from him.

What follows is a tragic miscarriage of justice, as an overeager prosecution charges the likable young doctor with multiple counts of possessing and trafficking in child pornography. Parker is advised to make a plea bargain. If he accepts, he'll minimize jail time, but will live knowing he pleaded guilty to a crime he never committed. If he doesn't, he can expect no mercy from the zealous, publicity-minded prosecutors.
