Former Detroit reporter Vince Wade's new blog (re- Rick Wershe aka "White Boy Rick")
"Hello All—
My name is Vince Wade. I’m a former Detroit TV news investigative reporter and special projects producer. I spent over 25 years—a quarter century—on the streets of Detroit reporting on crime, mayhem and public corruption and I won a bunch of awards for my work. My first big scoop was reporting that Jimmy Hoffa was missing. He still is.
I’m starting a new weekly blog focused primarily but not exclusively on the plight of Rick Wershe, aka Richard Wershe, Jr. aka White Boy Rick. I will explore the story of other informants, too, to show just how much Rick has been given the shaft compared to others in his situation.
After I cover a little history in the first few installments, my blog posts will have a different take on Rick’s imprisonment. My work will focus largely on the paper trail. What did they REALLY have on Rick? This blog will explore in detail things that happened AFTER he went to prison. The big question of course is, why is he still in prison? He appears to be the victim of a vendetta by powerful people.
I’m using the Michigan and Federal Freedom of Information Acts to get copies of reports in official investigative files. It’s a slow and tedious process.
I can tell you there’s quite a story there and much of it hasn’t been told before. Let me warn you these blog posts won’t be short. They will have a lot of detail and background. I hope you will take the time to read them. If you are reading this, the blog is now live and online.
The blog is called Informant America and it can be found at http://www.thedimedroppers.com/"
