George Skatzes Is Not A Killer

He's been behind bars for over 40 years. Convicted of four murders. But what if he didn't kill anyone at all? In a justice system driven by fear, politics, and deals behind closed doors, George Skatzes became an easy target. A self-admitted lifestyle criminal, George was convicted of murder in 1983 based solely on the testimony of a co-defendant looking to save his own skin. Ten years later, during the infamous Lucasville prison riot, George was convicted again-this time three times over-despite no forensic evidence and testimony that has since unraveled. This book tells the raw, unfiltered truth behind one of Ohio's longest-standing death row cases. It's a gripping, fact-based account of a man who was buried by the system-not because of what he did, but because of who he was. George Skatzes Is Not a Killer is part investigative deep-dive, part moral reckoning, and 100% a call to action. It's for readers who believe that justice delayed is not justice served-and that it's never too late to right a terrible wrong. If you care about wrongful convictions, prison reform, or the human cost of injustice, this book is for you. And if you think the story's over because the sentence was passed, think again.
