Daniel Blan's Legal Documents

This is a site for information on Daniel Blan!

I will be adding all his legal papers, transcripts etc.

 Daniel Blan was wrongfully convicted for the murder of his adoptive father Michael Bernos in the state of Alabama. He was sentenced to life without parole and as of now he has served over 21 years. 

We are currently trying to get Daniels case back into court. Based on new evidence that we can not disclose on this blog. As soon as we can we will add all information.

(Update as of 9/13.2018: I have updated the transcripts and the witness statements. All of the transcript pages are now available and all the witness statements have been added *Some were missing pages that has been corrected*).
