Aprašymas
Former Ohio Attorney General crusades against wrongful conviction and shows how citizens can prevent this terrifyingly common miscarriage of justice.
“Wrongful criminal conviction is much more frequent than most Americans believe. The thought of imprisoned innocent people haunted me. I became determined to try to do something about it.” —Jim Petro, Former Attorney General of Ohio
The flaws in America’s execution of justice lead to an unacceptable number of wrongful criminal convictions. Jim Petro was confronted with this issue when the guilt of several convicts serving life sentences was called into question. In False Justice, Jim and Nancy Petro detail and challenge eight myths of justice:
- “Everyone in prison claims innocence.”
- “The conviction of an innocent person is extremely rare.”
- “Only the guilty confess.”
- “Wrongful convictions are accidental and unintentional.”
- “Eyewitness testimony is the best evidence.”
- “Conviction errors get corrected on appeal.”
- “Questioning a conviction dishonors the victim.”
- “The pros will fix the justice system.”
- “Forensic science is trustworthy.”
- ”Juries are prepared and qualified to decide cases fairly.”
- “Innocent people never plead guilty.”
- “Our system delivers fair and equal justice for all.”
False Justice corrects these common misunderstandings with an important truth: true justice requires constant vigilance and is the responsibility of every citizen.
