Synopsis

As British ex-pats, author Penny White and her husband, Harry, had been living the "Florida dream" for several years until, through no fault of their own, they found themselves on the wrong side of the law. They suffered wrongful arrest and incarceration. If found guilty, they each faced a hundred and thirty years in prison--a situation based on lies told by a former business partner and his aggressive attorney.

In Guilty Till Proven Innocent, White shares the story of how, in a dramatic, TV-style raid on their Florida home by armed, masked police, their lives changed forever. White narrates their experience including spending time in jail and fighting the charges lobbied against them.

This true story calls into question the American courts, and White asks for a further review into a justice system that fails to uphold the tenets of liberty, freedom, and justice for all, not just for those who can afford good, but expensive attorneys.
