Quotes

Dr. Raj Bothra

Indian immigrant surgeon and author of the memoir USA v Raj

“The more the defense team questioned witnesses, the more they revealed how the government’s false narrative and truth was hidden just below the water’s surface. Our unified mission was below the surface in hopes they would see the truth and judge accordingly… I focused on the hope that shone brightly above my turmoil — the hope that truth would ultimately triumph — and reimagined these shackles as the chains secured to my anchor protecting me from being destroyed by these stormy seas.”

“USA v Raj is my clarion call to shed light on the broken judicial system I endured. It exposes how unchecked government power and a win-at-all-costs mentality can wreck innocent lives. My story could happen to anyone. No one is immune from this kind of injustice.”
