Convicting the Innocent – Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong by Brandon L. Garrett is a powerful and eye-opening exploration into the flaws of the criminal justice system that lead to wrongful convictions. This essential book examines real-life cases of innocent individuals who were convicted of crimes they did not commit, often due to flawed forensic evidence, false confessions, eyewitness misidentification, and prosecutorial misconduct.
Drawing from over 250 DNA exoneration cases, Garrett provides an in-depth analysis of how systemic errors in criminal prosecution can devastate lives and undermine public trust in justice. Through detailed research, legal insight, and human stories, he identifies the patterns and institutional failures that contribute to miscarriages of justice.
Ideal for readers in criminal law, criminology, forensic science, and public policy, this book is both a scholarly resource and a compelling narrative. Whether you are a law student, attorney, criminologist, or simply someone interested in justice reform, this book offers critical insights into how to prevent wrongful convictions.
