Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's last years were marked by a significant achievement - freeing Lisl Auman, a 21-year-old woman sentenced to life without parole for murdering a Denver police officer. Thompson received a letter from Lisl in 2001 and enlisted top lawyers, held a rally, and co-wrote an article to free her. In 2005, the Colorado Supreme Court reversed her conviction and ordered a retrial, ultimately leading to a plea bargain and Lisl's release from prison.
