Video: Jesse Trentadue explains how his brother died at the hands of the Federal Government

Kenneth Michael Trentadue died in a suicide-proof cell at the Federal Transport Center (FTC) in Oklahoma in 1995. Despite overwhelming evidence that Trentadue had been beaten to death by someone other than himself, his death was ruled a suicide. His brother - Jesse Trentadue - has been tirelessly pursuing justice ever since.

In the video below, Jesse explains what it's been like waging such a battle; he told the his brother's story - as well as his own - at a town hall in Seattle on September 6, 2012.

In my book, Unsung Davids, investigative reporter J.D. Cash is the subject of Chapter 8 because of what he did to expose the Department of Justice. Cash also developed a relationship with Jesse Trentadue; there is an entire section in the chapter about what happened to Kenneth Trentadue and who was involved.

Here is Jesse from last week:
