His defense team's publicist, Kali Mari-Bowyer, provided some of the page layouts and Almena's introduction to I-Team Reporter Dan Noyes. They've been pleased by what they see as our fair coverage of the tragedy. Caution for Almena's graphic depiction of his days at Dublin's Santa Rita Jail and some profanity. Almena writes that he is innocent and has faced "endless threats of violence against me and my family" while in custody.
