Stand With Eddie O’Brien: Seeking Exoneration & Truth Through the Courts

For over 30 years, Eddie O’Brien has maintained his innocence. He is now preparing to file a Rule 30 Motion for a New Trial and Juvenile transfer hearing in Middlesex Superior Court — asking the court to review prosecutorial misconduct, ineffective assistance of counsel, and serious constitutional and forensic issues in his case.

After extensive legal and expert review, the motion challenges both the original trial and the second juvenile transfer hearing. It raises concerns about forensic interpretation, evidentiary presentation, and whether Eddie received the effective representation and due process protections guaranteed under the Constitution.

This is not a media campaign.

It is a lawful request for judicial review.

Why We Need Help

Post-conviction litigation is complex and costly. Unlike a direct appeal, a Rule 30 motion requires:

• Independent DNA and serology experts

• Criminologists

• Preparation of sworn expert affidavits

• Transcript review and record reconstruction

• Medical examiner and Behavioral scientist 

Forensic evidence must be carefully evaluated by qualified professionals. These experts are essential to presenting a complete and responsible motion to the court.

All funds raised go directly toward documented legal and expert expenses. No funds will be used for personal living costs.

A Case That Deserves Review

Eddie’s case arose during a period shaped by strong “tough on crime” and “juvenile super predator hysteria” policies. His motion asks the court to determine whether the legal standards applied in his case meet constitutional requirements.

Our goal is simple:

To ensure the verdict withstands full and fair review.

Justice is strongest when it welcomes examination.

A Family’s Faith

Eddie’s family has remained steadfast for years. Their Roman Catholic faith has guided them with strength and perseverance. Eddie’s motion will also ask the court to review whether aspects of his background, including his faith and heritage, were presented in ways that may have influenced the proceedings.

Public support has been an unexpected gift — a reminder that people still believe in fairness and due process.

We are not asking for assumptions.

We are asking for support so the legal process can move forward properly.

If you believe every person deserves a fair trial and meaningful judicial review, please consider supporting Eddie’s legal defense fund.
