- Summary:
-
"Within these pages are some of the most horrific crimes committed by the state against innocent people. Eyewitness error, jailhouse snitches, racism, junk science, prosecutorial misconduct, and incompetent cousel have repeatedly sent the wrong men to death row. Here are more than 100 cases in which journalism students, grassroots organizations, families, and pro bono lawyers - armed with DNA evidence and other instruments of justice - have defeated the demon of error within the system, but only after a terrible price has been paid"--P. [4] of cover.
