Ian never stopped hoping that this injustice would be corrected. The family has been ridiculed, shunned, treated like pariahs in their community. But none of the Schweitzer's ever gave up hope that there would be a day of justice that would arrive. As Dr. King famously said, after the five-day march from Selma to Montgomery, truth crushed to earth will rise again. No lie can live forever.

Christmas in Hawai’i | Chapter 1
Your Honor, this is a critical day in Ian Schweitzer's journey towards justice. It started on October 4th, 1997, when he was arrested and jailed for the sexual assault and murder of Dana Ireland.
