Memorial Gathering for Ronald Kliner

On October 29th, there will be a gathering to honor the life of Ronald S. Kliner.

Ronald Kliner was put through 28 years of hell. He was falsely charged for the murder of Dana Rinaldi, wrongfully convicted based on false testimony and sentenced to death - spending nearly seven years on death row before his sentence was commuted to natural life - with no prospect of every seeing the outside of a prison.

He always insisted he was innocent and fought with all his strength to win his freedom.

While we still don't know exactly what transpired in his cell on the early morning of October 4th, we do know what killed him - had Ronald Kliner not been wrongly charged and convicted, he would still be alive today.

Here's the statement from the memorial meeting:

"Ronald Kliner was incarcerated since 1992 for a crime he didn't commit. He fought to prove his innocence for 29 years. On October 4, 2021, Ron passed away under unknown and suspicious circumstances at Hill
Correctional Center in Galesburg, Il. On October 29th, Judge Greenblatt planned on ruling on Ron's motion for a new trial. Join us in Rolling Meadows in support of Ronald Kliner. No person should lose their life in prison fighting for their innocence…and the fight continues"

"Ron's legacy will continue to live on… his loved ones will continue to fight to clear his name. We will stand with the families of wrongfully convicted individuals to help prevent this from happening to another innocent person."

The gathering will be at:
Rolling Meadows Courthouse
2121 Euclid Ave, Rolling Meadows, IL 60008
Friday, October 29, 2021 - 1:30 pm
