Five star reviews right out of the gate… this true story that will shock our Nation. And it is an account that City of Vancouver and Clark County leaders must read.

Riveting is the closest I can come to describe your new book “Memoirs of an Innocent Man.” Then comes maddening and infuriating, with a side order of incredulous tossed in. If I didn’t know the story originated in Clark Country, Washington, I’d most certainly have suspected it! Ray Spencer’s story “Memoirs of an Innocent Man” is a must read! While stories of false accusations and wrongful convictions are finally being heard by the masses – What no one seems to understand yet is the IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!
Reading memoirs of an innocent man. Reciting. True story. Great read

I have followed the story of the wrongful conviction of Ray Spencer in the media for years. I thought I knew the whole story; as it turns out, I only know a fraction of it. I literally could not put this book down from start to finish. This is such an important story. It is heart-wrenching, eye-opening, horrifying, a tear-jerker, and inspirational. Memoirs of an Innocent Man includes a beautiful love story along with a testimony to the amazing love of children for their father. This is the “whole enchilada” and will be a best seller for sure!

Best book I have read in a long time. Keeps you interested all the time waiting to read what was going to happen on the next page. A book that is extremely hard to put down. First day read more than half of the book. It is a shame that an innocent person would have to go through this and have his life torn apart to this extent. This should NEVER have happened to anyone. Clearly there is a problem with crooked police and judge in Washington State. Amazing that Dr. Spencer was able to survive his ordeal and accomplish what he did.

Memoirs of an Innocent Man by Dr. Ray Spencer was officially released yesterday on Amazon ~ A first-hand account of Clark County and Washington State’s most notorious wrongful conviction.
What happens in Clark County, WA when [as stated in a 2010 ABC 20/20 episode] “the lead investigator is out to make a name for herself”?
The exact same thing that is happening right now: Innocent people are being wrongfully convicted of crimes based on false testimony and evidence fabricated by “Lead Detective” Sandra Aldridge.
More than 30 years have passed since the wrongful conviction of Ray Spencer for crimes that DID NOT OCCUR, yet the same Clark County, WA playbook for arrests and malicious prosecution of the innocent is still in use. It is time to end this pattern of abuse by individual Law Enforcement Officers who operate outside of legal and ethical boundaries.
Please read the attached Columbian Newspaper article published in September 2016. It contains a critical link to the same circumstances under which John Garrett Smith was wrongfully convicted in December of 2014. Clark County Prosecutor, Tony Golik is working feverishly to prevent the Griffin case and the Smith case, both unanimous COA Division II conviction reversals, from being associated with one another through their shocking similarities. [To get the full effect of the parallels, also read the court of appeals decision in the Griffin Case, link below]
State of Washington v. Lester Juan Griffin
Mr. Golik has been personally informed and provided with information regarding withheld and falsified evidence throughout Garrett Smith’s case, yet he fails to address the Brady violations and continues to forward that falsified evidence from one court to the next, right up to the WA Supreme Court.
One thing is clear, the COA II decision in the Griffin case from Clark County, WA certainly makes relevant the number of complaints filed against Hamlin & Aldridge leading up to, during and since their actions as lead investigators, and subsequent perjured testimony in the State’s case against John Garrett Smith.
Known Internal Affairs complaints against VPD Officers Hamlin & Aldridge… it is unlikely that this is a complete list:

Chief McElvain,
According to VPD Policies and Procedures [POLICY 1030 Early Intervention System]
- VPD utilizes an early intervention system (“EI system”). The system is a data-based management tool designed to identify officers whose workplace actions indicate problems or potential problems, and then to provide interventions, usually counseling or training, to correct those problems.
- VPD authorizes use of the EI system as a proactive tool to enhance employee success while also providing a risk management tool for the Department.
- The Professional Standards Unit collects and reviews data or “performance indicators” that are the subject of official departmental reports and general observations. One such indicator is citizen complaints.
This policy was presented to the Vancouver City Council in a 2015 report, In theory, VPD’s Early Intervention System sounds remarkable, but only if it is actually implemented… which does not appear to be the case. Such proactive measures could save many, including me, from living in constant fear of further harassment, retaliation and serious harm at the hands of Officers Aldridge and Hamlin. Equally important, it would allow proper measures to be taken so the many VPD Officers who are doing a commendable job would not have to suffer the damage done by two officers who demonstrate a blatant disregard their sworn oaths and duties.
While I am not aware of all complaints filed against Officers Hamlin and Aldridge, I was able to achieve a MISCONDUCT Bingo Blackout identifying just the complaints of which I am aware. Please consider utilizing Policy 1030 – Early Intervention System. Thank you.
Respectfully submitted,
Traci Eccles, blogger/journalist & victim to harassment
