Anatomy of Innocence: Testimonies of the Wrongfully Convicted (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Long thought to be statistical anomalies in an otherwise sound justice system, wrongful convictions—we are just beginning to learn—happen with frightening regularity. But very few people understand just how they happen and, more importantly, the consequences. Now, the groundbreaking anthology Anatomy of Innocence tells the extraordinary stories of more than a dozen innocent men and women who were convicted of serious crimes and cast into the maw of a vast and deeply flawed American criminal justice system before eventually, miraculously, being exonerated. Here, each “exoneree” is paired with a high-profile mystery and thriller writer (including Lee Child, Sara Paretsky, Laurie King, S. J. Rozan, Brad Parks, and others) to produce a unique collaboration. By joining such master storytellers with exonerees, and with the inclusion of additional reflections from Barry Scheck and Scott Turow, Anatomy of Innocence presents the tragedy of wrongful conviction with a stark and fiery clarity.
