The
story of Richard “White Boy Rick” Wershe, Jr. is an epic tale, sprawling and
complex. It is a challenge to keep the story straight because there are so many
players, so many events. It is a challenge to tell you about it. It is much more
than a story about a white teenage dope dealer in the black underworld. It is every
bit as much a tale about police criminality, political corruption and what
appears to be a decades-long vendetta, a dark and chilling conspiracy within
the criminal justice system against a teenager who dared to help the FBI put politically-connected
dope dealers and corrupt cops in jail. It appears to be an organized violation
of one man’s civil rights over his entire adult life. There are dozens of
important events and hundreds of characters in this story. Two key episodes
were Wershe’s 1988 drug trial and his 2003 parole hearing. This lengthy blog
post touches on both. Those bothered by how long it takes to read this should remember
Rick Wershe has lived with all of this every day, 24/7, in an 8 X 12 prison
cell for the past 27 years.
