Johnnie is completely innocent. The real killer is dead. Johnnie, live your life in peace and faith. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? All of the Peoria Police Department knew the truth. They just found it easier to blame a child than try and deal with the real killer. He lied and may he rot in hell.

About this blog

When Johnnie Lee Savory was 14 years old, he was falsely accused and unjustly convicted for double homicide in his hometown of Peoria, Illinois. In 2006, after spending 30 years in prison, Savory was granted parole and released.

Though a free man today, society still considers Savory an ex-felon, which is why he is asking Governor Rod Blagojevich to order DNA testing of the evidence that was used to convict him.

This blog, managed by Windy Citizen contributor John Maki, will chronicle Savory's fight for the justice that he has been denied. Through commentary, interviews, and web videos, it will also invite readers to get to know Savory and join him in his struggle.
