Anatomy of Innocence: Testimonies of the Wrongfully Convicted by Leslie S. Klinger, Barry Scheck, Laura Caldwell, Scott Turow

3.0

Effective in highlighting the many ways criminal trials and prosecutions can go awry, from procedural errors to incompetence or misconduct. The chapter postscripts were informative and concise. The individual stories were a little too short for me, personally; they engendered a general sense of compassion and outrage but didn't give much space to see the stories as individual. The editorial remarks prefacing each story leaned a little melodramatic, where I think the stories could have been left to stand on their own. The book profits are going to a good cause, otherwise I'd suggest just keeping up with the news as a different means to the same end.
