Dear Friend,

Thank you so much for your email (it will be printed and mailed to me at the prison). Your encouragement and belief in my innocence helps me to keep fighting.

I was convicted in 2010. An NBC Dateline episode about my case was aired in 2012 (you can watch it by clicking here). The show was compelling, but the really powerful evidence of my innocence came after it.

For example, in 2016, I finally found out about a the existence of a video interview with Dee Mower (Ken’s widow) that prosecutors should have given me before my trial in 2010. The video was recorded in May of 2008 at what appears to be the Sandy City Police Department. It wasn’t until 2020 that we were able to obtain part of this video. In it, Dee Mower and her attorney tell detectives that Ken, in the year before his death, was helping them to investigate Dee’s ex-husband’s fraudulent financial dealings. But then “Ken got killed,” Dee’s attorney said, “and we got the message. We stopped the investigation.” This information is huge, because the official story about Ken at my trial was that he didn’t have an enemy in the world, that no one had a motive to kill him. As you can see, that wasn’t altogether accurate. My prosecutor had a legal obligation to send me this video interview, and his failure to do this irrevocably weakened my defense and led in no small part to my conviction. (In 2018, I filed a bar complaint against my prosecutor, Riley Josh Player. It dragged on for three years, this resulted in a secret hearing that not even I am allowed to have a record of. They didn’t review any of the evidence I had of Player’s malfeasance.) But this violation of my rights is only the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more evidence that we’ve discovered in the last few years, and all of it stinks. Powerful people have gone to great lengths to keep this evidence hidden, but you can help us defeat them.

We will post everything here, including the video above. Check back often for updates. If you believe in my innocence, then you believe that Ken Dolezsar’s murder remains unsolved. He and his loved ones deserve justice too.

Although I no longer have any faith in the system or that I will ever leave prison, I won’t stop fighting until the world knows the truth about what was done to Ken and to me. Our hope is to eventually have Netflix or someone like them produce a docuseries about this case. Please let your friends know about this site. Again, thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me and my loved ones.

Gratefully,
Chris Wright
