Anatomy of Innocence: Testimonies of the Wrongfully Convicted by

4.0

I spent much of my childhood believing that our justice system was overwhelmingly fair and transparent. Probably like many of the jurors that served on the cases of these innocent men and women, I thought that for them to even make it to trial meant that the cops and prosecutors must believe they had the right person. My eyes have been opened over the years, thanks in part to The Innocence Project, and even wider still with this book. Top authors like Lee Child and Sara Paretsky team up with 14 exonerees to tell their stories- the shock, anger, depression, and ultimately the hope that helped them persevere. I cannot recommend this book enough!
