Convicting the innocent
the story of a murder, a false confession, and the struggle to free a "wrong man"
by Donald S. Connery
"Be warned: If you read this book you will never think about the criminal justice system in the same way. You will be appalled-perhaps horrified-by the dirtiest secret of law enforcement. You will learn the full dimensions of a nationwide scandal: the process that subjects innocent persons, especially the pool and mentally impaired, to inquisitions that lead to life imprisonment or death sentences. If you can't imagine ever confessing to a crime you did not commit, this book will change your mind. You will be outraged by the story of one wrongfully convicted man, and inspired by the people from all walks of life who have come to his rescue-who believe that being strong for justice is no less important than being tough on crime" -- Back cover.
