Justice for Chris Wright

NEW UPDATE!!  SEE BELOW

A Murder He Did Not Commit:

On 28th February 2008, Christopher Wright was arrested for Ken Dolezsar’s murder, even though he did not kill him. Christopher has remained incarcerated from that day forward … remained incarcerated while the police forced the evidence to fit Christopher and not the actual crime ... remained incarcerated while the prosecutors stalled for time to concoct plausible scenarios and stack their house of cards ... remained incarcerated while the life Christopher used to have was slowly and painfully erased.

On the 30th of April 2010 (over two years after his arrest!), we went to trial and, to our disbelief, he was convicted. Christopher and all of us who love him were devastated.

We immediately started the process of appealing this awful decision. We have now been slogging and fighting an uphill battle through the justice system for over 18 years, with obstacles placed constantly in our way by police and others who don’t want their behavior questioned and prosecutors who don’t want their case overturned.

If you haven’t seen it already there is a Dateline episode about his plight which you can watch on the website dedicated to freeing Christopher: www.thewrongwright.com.

What We're Doing to Fix this Injustice:

After exhausting almost all our avenues for overturning Christopher’s conviction, we turned to the Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA). Jensie Anderson and Annie Taliaferro, filed Christopher’s PCRA petition (a 300+ page legal brief) on August 02, 2022. We have prayed for years that someone would have the courage to truly look at the evidence that has always shown Christopher’s innocence. And it has finally happened! Judge Heather Brereton ruled in Christopher’s favor on January 23, 2026, finding that his constitutional due-process rights were violated on more than 26 counts. In short, he did not get a fair trial and there had been misconduct on the part of the legal system during the trial and throughout his appeals process. He will now have a chance this year to present evidence of Christopher’s innocence to Judge Brereton.

What’s Next: 

Legal fees continue to mount. We believe that justice will finally be served in this case and that Christopher will be freed. We are asking that you join us in finding the necessary funds to make this happen. Any amount of support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your faith and support.

How the Money Will Be Spent:

We will use every cent that we raise here to pay our investigator, attorneys, and experts to underscore and prove what we already know: that Christopher is innocent. We work with an amazing group of specialists, but our money is gone. We need help to keep our team afloat. It would be heartbreaking to get so close to a possible victory and fail due to a lack of financial resources.

We are hoping to raise enough money to cover the costs of freeing him, and, should we raise more money than we need, the funds will be used to help others who are in similar positions. Unfortunately, injustice of the kind that happened to Christopher is not rare. Not a penny will be wasted in this fight.

Please help us get the word out by sharing our GiveSendGo link on your preferred socials. We are very grateful for your support and help during this awful time.

We are fighting and will always continue to fight to free Christopher. If you would like more background into his case and the Dateline please visit: www.thewrongwright.com. There is also other information there about where we are in the fight for his freedom, how you can contact him (and us), and what you can do to help.

Thank You For Being There For Him!
