Upon its release, The John Fresolo Saga, drew a lot of interest from radio, TV, and print media as it made claims that a serious political conspiracy had been unleashed at the Massachusetts State House resulting in the shocking resignation by Representative John Fresolo.

VIEW THE INTERVIEW NOW.

The true story is now told as a result of two years of investigative reporting by Richard F. Wright.

-- False Accusations - The book identifies the false accusations, the corrupted evidence, the distorted and fabricated testimony, and the oppressive pressure applied by elected officials and highly paid outside consultants to force John Fresolo to give up his freely won position as a State Representative for the 16th Worcester district.

-- Lying Under Oath - Witnesses admitted under oath that they had lied. Evidence was shown to be corrupted and unreliable. Allegations that spread to newspaper headlines, even though the ethics committee was supposed to operate secretly, were shown to be false, misleading, and prejudicial. Yet, Fresolo could not defend himself publicly without being in violation of House rules. 

-- Denied Cross-Examination - Fresolo was allowed to have counsel, but counsel could not cross-examine witnesses or challenge evidence. Fresolo could not speak unless recognized by the committee chairman, who continuously hushed Fresolo when he protested false testimony. The characterization of a "kangaroo court" was clear to anyone who had access to the procedure.

-- Speaker's Spokesman Lied to Media - Officials of the Speaker's office lied to the media that John Fresolo had not been pressured to resign. The book clearly shows that the chairman of the ethics committee pressured Fresolo, the attorney for the ethics committee threatened and pressured Fresolo, and the draconian resolution brought against Fresolo was strictly a pressure tactic. Fresolo succumbed to the pressure.

-- Accused was Blackmailed into Resigning - Just as the committee was about to settle on a resolution that the accused would accept, the committee abruptly added "evidence" not previously shared with the defense, not entered during the hearings, not in a manner that allowed the defense to respond, and concerned with none of the original 13 allegations that sparked the investigation. The accused was blackmailed into resigning to avoid the public disclosure of material unrelated to the allegations of ethical breaches.

Another 5-Star Review for Richard F. Wright's, "The World's Seven Biggest Liars"

Richard F. Wright's assessment of religious prophets draws positive review from non-atheist concerned with all religions.

Eight years after its original release, The World's Seven Biggest Liars continues to draw positive reviews. What is interesting about this review is that unlike the target audience: 'atheists,' this reviewer states he is not an atheist but appreciates the assessment about religions. Atheist, or not, the book begs the question whether the misrepresentations by prophets should be called out.

Read More About The John Fresolo Saga in The Rambler

Rod Lee, writer for The Rambler, attended the recording session of the episode of "About the Valley," a local cable TV show hosted by a well-known media personality, Harry Berkowitz that addresssed resignation of John Fresolo as a State Rep. (You can watch the show here.) Rod wrote an extensive review of the book and listened to the live interview of Wright and Fresolo, hosted by Berkowitz.

In the January 2020 issue of The Rambler, Rod Lee wrote:

    "What finally emerges from Mr. Wright's exhaustive research is a portrait of an Ethics Committee chaired by now-Boston Mayor Marty Walsh that caved to the wishes of Speaker De Leo. Why? Because Rep. Fresolo did not always toe the party line, and in fact did not support Mr. DeLeo for speaker."
