Friends of Richard Lapointe

This website is dedicated to securing the freedom of Richard Lapointe, a man who was wrongfully imprisoned!

This soft little man with Dandy Walker syndrome has spent 18 years in prison for a crime he never could have even begun to commit. 

Lapointe was convicted of the 1987 rape and murder of his wife's grandmother.  Two years after the crime, he was questioned by police until 1:30 a.m. during which time he had signed three inconsistent confessions.  His approximately 25 current supporters, the "Friends of Richard Lapointe" have worked tirelessly for his freedom. Centurion Ministries is trying to prove Lapointe is innocent.

Judge Nazzaro denied Richard Lapointe's petition for habeas corpus in a decision dated April 15, 2011. Now more time will pass before we can hope to bring Richard home. The decision is deeply flawed and infuriating, but the Friends of Richard Lapointe will not give up until justice is served and Richard is free.
