It is my privilege to be a pediatrician and father of six. My education was at Saint Peter’s College and The George Washington University School of Medicine. Residency in New York and Washington DC was followed with military service at West Point. I have published multiple academic medical articles and contributed to textbooks. Fifty years of pediatric practice preceded Kathy’s Way, and Thicket of Thought.

Thicket of Thought is the telling of the tragedy of wrongful conviction. Truth must be valued. To not do so is to create a void, which is empty of meaning. A chasm that engulfs everyone and everything as it widens. This is an exploration of the profound difference between a search for truth and justice and the persuasive power of society and the media evident in society today. A person, a family, and a community was and can be destroyed by being subjected to erroneous thought and testimony. Confusion hides the truth. The truth that must be witnessed by what we do, think, and say. The brambles blocking clear vision and wisdom must be cleared away.

“In the Relaunch of his Book, “Thicket of Thought,” Peter Freis Examines the Injustice of an Inadequate Justice System

Lady Justice is an allegorical personification of judicial systems’ moral influence. To symbolize her fairness and equality, she wears a blindfold. No one, no position, no social prestige, and no viewpoint should affect her judgment. She must maintain her fairness and prudence. Outside circumstances and ineptitude, on the other hand, can persuade her and tilt the scales against an innocent guy. Many men and women suffer and lose significant years of their life as a result of false convictions in a broken judicial system. Such is the narrative that Peter Freis draws us into.

Freis examines the inefficiency of the country’s legal system in his book “Thicket of Thought: Speculation.” He’ll take us through Christopher and his family’s failed battle to free a man who was imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. An adult has accused Christopher of assaulting him as a child after he stated he remembered a one-time incident that occurred more than two decades before he disclosed his traumatic recollection. Chris’ life had been drained from his body. He was doomed to spend the rest of his life in prison, despite being a generally kind and compassionate guy.

The book is short but engrossing to read. It reveals the flaws of an inept court that frequently relies on a bias to make up allegations. Readers’ eyes are opened by the novel, which effectively evokes the appropriate emotions. Freis has depicted the difficulties faced by persons battling for their independence in the face of prejudice. He did an excellent job of narrating the disparities in Chris’s life before and after jail, which dramatically enhanced the book’s message. Despite the intense emotion and the sad narrative of a good person whose life was taken from him by injustice, Freis sends a powerful message: dishonesty can never destroy a family’s love.

Indeed, the book will elicit responses and dispel the stigma that we associate with those who are incarcerated. We should be more considerate. Some deserve to be there while others are just there because the scales of justice were tipped in the wrong direction.”
