TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE: The Shocking Prosecution of Lt. Clint Lorance is a 2019 book of Creative nonfiction written by Don Brown, about the United States Army’s prosecution of Lieutenant Clint Lorance. Lorance, a former paratrooper with the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, was convicted in 2013 for murder by an Army Court-martial for ordering his men to fire on three motorcycle riders who charged their position in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, in 2012. Lorance was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. The book exposes what Brown contends are numerous efforts by Army prosecutors to coverup evidence of Lorance’s innocence, including biometrics evidence linking the motorcycle riders shot by Lorance’s men to bombmaking that killed American troops in the Afghan War.

Brown, a former United States NavyJAG officer, and one of four former JAG officers serving on the Lorance defense team, appeared on Fox & Friends on April 13, 2019 with Pete Hegseth and Ed Henry to discuss the book, and to urge President Donald Trump to sign an order to disallow the findings and sentencing from Lorance’s court-martial, to release him from prison and to return him to active duty in the Army. The United States Army did not comment, and Lorance remains incarcerated at the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth.
