About the Book

Danger Road chronicles the incredible true story of three drug dealers who were brutally murdered in 1983 on Danger Road in the Florida Everglades. Lured into a phony drug deal each victim hoped would be his big retirement score, they allegedly found themselves at the business end of a gun wielded by a Miami-Dade police officer. But police and prosecutors say Officer Gilbert Fernandez, Jr. and his crew weren't there to arrest the drug dealers. They were there to execute them and steal their eight kilos of cocaine. The story details the transformation of Fernandez, a former Mr. Florida bodybuilding champion and black-belt karate instructor, who by many accounts turned his life around during the intervening years between the 1983 murders and his triple-murder indictment in 1990. The man once named Miami's Meanest Cop no longer abused and intimidated detainees like he did when he was a police officer; he had become a loving father who lived to convert people to his newfound faith in Christianity. In spite of this radical transformation, Fernandez found himself on trial for his life in 1991. Danger Road is the story of that trial, told by John P.Contini, the Fort Lauderdale Criminal Lawyer who represented him. Contini gives readers a unique insider perspective on the mindsets of both a defense attorney in a capital murder case and a defendant who had become a completely different person by the time of his trial. Danger Road also reveals details about the influence of the media on the trial, and the biased judge and prosecutors who were hell-bent to send Fernandez to the chair. By ripping the lid off the behind-the-scenes machinations of our legal system, one of the author's goals was to cause readers to take another look at the way justice is dispensed in our society.
About the Author:

Attorney and author John P. Contini began his career as an assistant state attorney (1983-1987) with the Broward County State Attorney's Office. In 1985 he was chosen from more than one hundred prosecutors to head the Obscenity Unit, responsible for prosecuting those accused of obscenity-related crimes. He became a criminal defense attorney in 1987 and developed a reputation as a lawyer willing to defend the indefensible in Florida and the United States. Neither he nor his infamous clients are strangers to the media. In his role as defense attorney, the author has been featured many times on the evening news and in major newspapers. In 2001, he added the area of personal injury and wrongful death cases to his legal practice. Among other professional associations, he is a member of the Florida Bar, the Massachusetts Bar, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America.
