"'Killing Time' chronicles John Thompson's eighteen-year quest for exoneration from a wrongful murder conviction. Alone on death row and in solitary confinement for twenty-three hours a day, Thompson lacked the means and the support to seek vindication. Not until Philadelphia lawyers Michael Banks and Gordon Cooney took on his case pro bono did Thompson find allies with the drive, determination, and resources to challenge the system that sought to put him to death. Banks and Cooney struggled to find areas of police and prosecution misconduct in Thompson's previous trials while grappling with their own questions about their client's innocence. After more than a decade of legal battles, diligent investigating, and run-arounds with the NOPD and the DA's staff, Thompson's final appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court and all seemed lost. The story of how Banks and Cooney finally unearthed the evidence they needed to set Thompson free will change the way you think about "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.""--Cover p. 2.
