Description
A True Story of Wrongful Accusation and Government Blunder. On May 6, 2004, Brandon Mayfield, a Portland resident and Muslim lawyer, was unexpectedly arrested in connection with the Madrid train bombings that claimed nearly 200 lives. Despite having an expired passport, no ties to Spain, and evidence placing him in Oregon on the day of the attack, he was detained for weeks without charge. In this gripping true account, Brandon Mayfield and his wife Sharia reveal the secretive world of espionage, faulty forensics, and wrongful accusations that led to his ordeal. A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Oregon Innocence Project, highlighting the need for vigilance in protecting individual rights during times of national security. The Mayfields' story is a sobering reminder of the importance of due process and the dangers of mistaken identity.
