Wrongful conviction in Canadian law
by Gary Norman Arthur Botting
"Miscarriages of justice in wrongful conviction happen more often than the criminal court system would like to admit. Awareness of the causes can reduce the overall potential for miscarriage of justice. These causes include: Prosecutorial ?tunnel vision?, Failure to make full disclosure, Suborned or concocted evidence, Eyewitness misidentification, False confessions, Reliance on in-custody informers, Incompetent ?experts?, Flawed legal representation. Wrongful Conviction in Canadian Law is the first book to review and analyze recommendations of Commissions of Inquiry into wrongful convictions. Comparative analyses reveal which recommendations have been implemented as policy, passed into legislation, or endorsed by the courts. You?ll learn how the authorities could have made ? or could have avoided ? such major errors." --Publisher.
