"Danger Road rips the curtain off a high profile murder case that has the highest stakes possible: life or death. Then it takes you into the bowels of the justice system and on this journey you go from the darkest, coldest heart to the crowning glory of the human condition. Danger Road is a searing and scintillating gawk at the truth about our legal system and ourselves."
HOWARD FINKELSTEIN, BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC DEFENDER, HELP ME HOWARD TELEVISION SEGMENT

John Contini has written a fascinating true crime book of one of the most high profile murder cases in Broward County history. In addition, he has managed to superbly display the psychology behind the tense moments in the courtroom with his frank disclosure of his own insightful self-talk during that time. It is as honest as it gets and I was not able to put the book down.. and I already knew the ending!
DR. MICHAEL BRANNON, FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST

John Contini's new book is a great read for lawyer and non lawyer alike. It is fast paced, dramatic and real. He will become the John Grisham of real court room suspense writing

What Others Are Saying About Danger Road...
"John’s work goes beyond just being another “true crime” book: It is a riveting morality treatise affording extraordinary insight into a homicide's rippling effects not only on the immediate participants but also on all who are touched by the ongoing waves of its horror - yet revealing hope that a measure of good can spring out of even the machinations of evil."
BRIAN CAVANAUGH, CHIEF OF HOMICIDE, OFFICE OF THE BROWARD STATE ATTORNEY

"I see inmate Gil Fernandez on a regular basis. Other inmates respect him, prison guards respect him. We are spiritual brothers, me on the outside, Gil on the inside. Gil is so powerful that the other inmates give him their precious phone minutes so that he can comfort others. Gil is a man of God; he never wavers."

| South Florida Criminal Defense Attorney, John Contini is author of the book Danger Road: A true crime story of murder and redemption. Contini recounts his 1991 defense of Gilbert Fernandez, a decorated Florida police officer and champion body builder accused of the 1983 execution murders of three drug dealers on a lonely stretch of highway in the Florida Everglades. But this is no ordinary crime thriller. It's the true story of lives changed for eternity and a bond of friendship and faith forged between two men from very different worlds. |
"Proclaim" is the name of our television program. We bring a television crew into prison during our "Weekend of Excitement" and film our services under the tent. Mike and DeAnne Barber also have the privilege of interviewing inmates that have had their lives changed through the blood of Jesus Christ.
Prison officials see this project as very positive in helping inmates find direction for their future and are eager to cooperate with the program administration within the individual units. Funds for the project in each state are being donated by churches and private organizations and individuals. The satellite equipment is given totally free-of-charge to each prison facility.
