This is a true story that took place in Spain between 1979 - 1982 while I was in the Unites States Marine Corps. The story covers why, and how I had arrived in Spain, the two sailors I met that lead to my arrest. What happened through the arrest and trial then appeal of the courts decisions. A story of the hardships and heartaches along the way that I had to endure while I went through the Spanish court system, time in Rota jail , The two separate times I was in the Navel Brig on base ,and Cadiz prison, To be sentenced five years for a Crime I was innocent of. This is a story that I feel needs to be told. It’s a story of both courage and fear as I faught my way through their Courts and prison.
