"Andy M. Hale, ESQ, is an Emmy nominated documentary film producer and civil rights attorney with over 30 years of experience. He began his career as a filmmaker and producer, shining a light on the issue of wrongful convictions with his Netflix documentary “A Murder In the Park” which led to the exoneration of Alstory Simon after sixteen years of wrongful incarceration. His documentary “Wrong Cat” follows his client Cleve Heidelberg Jr.'s struggle to prove his innocence after forty-seven years of wrongful incarceration, and Andy executive produced the documentary “White Boy” that chronicled the case of Rick Wershe, a 17-year old from Detroit who was sentenced to life in prison for a non-violent drug offense. This story was also depicted in the Hollywood blockbuster “White Boy Rick” starring Matthew McConaughey. Additionally, Andy hosted an Emmy nominated television show “Case Files Chicago” - which highlighted and attempted to solve many of Chicago’s cold-cases.
Andy currently represents Chester Weger in his fight to prove his innocence in the case of the Starved Rock Murders, and recently won the rights to test the DNA in the case for the first time ever. Additionally, he played a crucial role in Chester receiving parole after 60 years of claiming his innocence in this case."
