we are hopeful because we believed that there is more than official grounds in that petition for some court to grant relief. but prosecutors vigorously defended their conviction. years passed while ogrod remained on death row. as the convicted killer of a four-year-old girl, he says he was often beaten by both inmates and officers. by now, tom had been hard at work on a book about ogrod s case, and it was published in 2017. the same year that the city elected a new district attorney, larry krasner, a former civil rights lawyer. krasner immediately poured resources into a conviction integrity unit to investigate claims of innocence and hired patricia cummings to run it. ogrod s case was among the first that her team reviewed. we started that endeavor by hiring experts that had no
