There are several ways to become a part of the urgent effort to free Byron Case. Below are a few.

The various costs associated with freeing an innocent person from prison can be staggering. Unlike in Hollywood, where righteous lawyers passionately take on the system without expectations of payment, real-life attorneys almost never work fro anything less than their usual hourly rate. In cases like Byron's, attorney retainers alone run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Add to this the financial burden of hiring the credentialed experts necessary to present Byron's evidence of innocence (which quickly tallies to several thousand dollars), and it is easy to see how every monetary donation matters.
To contribute in this fashion is easy: just

Professional audio analysts, forensic pathologists (especially those versed in corneal clouding), ballistics experts, private investigators (in the greater Kansas City area only), attorneys — Byron's case has specific needs from all of these professionals, on a volunteer or reduced-rate basis. If you are one of the above mentioned, or if you simply
know someone who fits the above criteria, please visit
SkepticalJuror.com to learn how you can shed crucial light on this case.
Alternately, you can make yourself an expert. Order a copy of J. Bennett Allen's provocative book,
The Skeptical Juror and the Trial of Byron Case, from Amazon today. After reading this engrossing work, you will never think of the criminal justice system in the same way again.
