What others are saying:

“David and Joyce Milgaard will always be known as two of Canada’s best advocates for justice. This book reminds us again of the unimaginable hardship they endured at the hands of the Canadian legal system and their ultimately successful struggle for David’s freedom.” — James Lockyer, Toronto lawyer for David and Joyce Milgaard, Co-founder of Innocence Canada

“David Milgaard was the victim of an egregious miscarriage of justice. It’s important that his story continues to be told. I hope Lisa’s book helps to introduce his story to a new generation of readers.” — Cecil Rosner, Award-winning investigative journalist, Adjunct professor, Managing editor of Investigative Journalism Foundation, Co-author of When Justice Fails: The David Milgaard Story.

“For a comprehensive up-to-date account of David’s legal tribulations, I recommend ‘The story David Milgaard Wanted Told” — a paperback by investigative reporter Lisa Joy. It’s well-researched, inexpensive….and on Amazon.’” — Byron Christopher, semi-retired reporter, journalism instructor & long-time friend of David Milgaard.

Previously published as The Story David Milgaard Wanted Told, this second edition features a brand-new cover, a new title, and a comprehensive index.
