THE EXECUTION SQUAD FRAUD bum beefed
In 1976, I was doing time in Walpole State Prison, in Massachusetts, for a bank robbery and was about to be placed in a work release program. This is the last step before actually being released back to the street.
Walpole reportedly had the highest murder rate of any prison in the country, and the lowest conviction rate - none. The Norfolk County D.A.'s office was being pilloried by the press for their inability to get a conviction. Their latest gaffe had been trying the wrong men (twice!) for the murder of Albert DiSalvo, (a.k.a. the Boston Strangler).
So, when a particularly atrocious murder occurred on Thanksgiving Day, 1976 and an inmate named Thomas Carden came forward offering to testify that he’d seen who’d done it, District Attorney William Delahunt, who’s now a United States Congressman, jumped at the offer.
Inmate Robert Perrotta had been found dead in his cell. His penis had been torn off and stuffed in his mouth, while he was still alive!
The Boston Globe, quoting Delahunt’s lead investigator, State Police Lt. William Bergin, published a scandalous story that was filled with lies, under a totally fictitious front page headline
"Police discover inmate execution squad at Walpole state prison"
The Globe claimed that Perrotta was killed because he was suspected of being an informant who was talking to the police about a series of bank robberies. They also said that he had given the Warden a letter outlining the scheme to kill him, in which he named his potential killers and that the inmates who Perrotta named in his letter were the prime suspects in his murder.
Delahunt quickly charged three ‘likely suspects’, myself, John Campbell & Arthur Keigney, who just happened to be bank robbers from Boston’s most notorious Irish neighborhood, Charlestown, which was so widely known for taking a dim view of informants that it was nick-named the 'Code of Silence'.
When my lawyer, Alan Caplan, demanded that the alleged letter naming the suspects be made public, it suddenly didn’t exist. They claimed there was no letter. The Globe didn't print that, just another front page lie.
It did come out, years later, that Perrotta had named his potential killers - not us, other inmates. Carden had admitted that to Lt. Bergin, before trial, but the trial judge, Judge Keating, let the D.A., John Prescott redact it (amongst many other things) before giving us the transcript of the interview.
This case is a textbook example of how the system can be manipulated and abused through the combined efforts of an ambitious prosecutor/politician, unethical or overzealous police work, a judge who not only let them get away with it, but also pitched in and contributed to the aforementioned collaborators underhanded tactics, and certain elements of the media who find it to their advantage to parrot what the prosecutors, or the cops, tell them and report it as fact. Of course, the suppliers of the information are usually identified as “informed sources” and the “facts” are always prefaced with “allegedly”
It took me 20 years to prove that I was framed and to overturn my conviction because every time that I discovered new evidence, the Department of Correction shipped me out of state to a series of federal penitentiaries, e.g., Marion, Leavenworth and Lewisburg. And, every time the courts ordered me back to Massachusetts, the DOC kept me locked in the hole, without even charging me with any disciplinary violations. I did about ten years in the feds and ten years in the hole, coincidentally, the two most challenging places to be housed, when you’re trying to discover more evidence that they were hiding, or to be able to do legal work from, and overturn a wrongful conviction.
THE EXECUTION SQUAD FRAUD bum beefed eBook Stephen Doherty
I must begin with full disclosure: My name is Alan Caplan, and I was Stevie's lawyer during many of the events depicted and described in the book. I am also Stevie's friend to this day.That said, and given the above perspective, I believe that he has done an amazing job in describing the substantive details of how he was wrongfully convicted. However of equal import, Stevie has managed to convey the tones and attitudes underlying the lies and corruption that infected the police, prosecution, and judge. He also manages to focus upon the harms that can be prepetrated on the innocent when an unquestioning and compliant press aids and abets them.
Given my position, I must say that Stevie's recounting of events accords fully with my memories. However the book's greatest impact on me came from Stevie's ability to evoke the feelings of the folks involved in this extraordinary case as it was unfolding.
It is a great read, even if I do have the foregoing biases.

THE EXECUTION SQUAD FRAUD bum beefed eBook Stephen Doherty Reviews
This book is an excellent indictment of the how politicians and the media can and will sacrifice the lives of others for thier own selfish motives. It's sickening that the main man behind this "fraud" now holds a U.S. Congressional seat in Massachusetts. Mr. Doherty's first hand veiw of the insanity of Massachusetts' correctional facilities in the 1970's and 80's gives the reader a first hand look of an administation and district attorney who would stop at nothing to dupe the general public into believing these men were doing thier jobs. The media was the weapon they used and Mr. Doherty, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Keigney were thier victims.
Stephen has done a great job describing the real history behind the DOC-Mass. He tells it like it is and how the system really put the screws to him. When reading the book it brought up a lot of history for me. Remembering all the crap that Steve and so many other inmates had to indure. He brings to light what really can happen when someone is under the mercy of Mass. Dept. of Corrections. Steve describes the hell he went through for all those yrs, being unjustly accused for the murder of another inmate. He fought hard and won. I recommend reading this book
because it could happen to anyone unjustly accused of a crime they didn't commit. It brings out the truth regarding the way the judicial system in the state of Massachusetts is run. I did write a review earlier in the month about this book and some how it wasn't posted.
Liked it could not put it down
Interesting read--story flows well--Few people can take a personal experience and make it interesting for others. Plus I met the author and he is a nice guy that got caught up in a mess that could have left him bitter. Instead, he used the power of print to get his grievance aired.
The Author takes You into,the corrupt Judicial System in Massachusetts.Steve is a Man the SYSTEM really " ScreweD ". This book was very well written, very informative.Once I started reading I could not put it down,not many books I can say that about today. Joseph Finn, Boston
I just read this book.It was incredible!!How anybody could recall the facts of this case with such accuracy was outstanding.I found it extremely difficult to put this book down.The story was beyond belief.It certaintly raised questions about the legal process that took place in Walpole at that time.I'm a cop from Chicago,don't get me wrong,I'm not saying Stephen was guilty or innocent.What I am saying is that you have to look at it from both perspectives and see what adds up.I will say this Stephen is a exceptional writer,with a great talent to keep the reader intrigued.Why this hasn't been made into a movie is puzzling.With any luck we will be hearing from Stephen Doherty with another first rate book.
If you've been wrongly charged - this is the book you should pick up!
If you are in the wrong place, at the wrong time, you too, should read this book!
I read this book, solely on the name of the author, knowing someone else who shares the same name, who has recently written a book, To Father a Champion. Both are worth the read! (New mothers or fathers!)
