This is the second book I've read about our criminal justice system and the death penalty. It is horrifying that so many innocent people are killed for crimes they did not commit. I can not begin to accept a common response to this "well, they probably were pretty bad people in the first place, so who cares?"
This book is well written and demonstrates not only the mistakes and arrogance leading to innocent people receiving the death penalty, but the human emotions that lead juries to make inaccurate and devastating decisions in these cases. It is well worth reading and I hope it will change some minds about this penalty. We are the only nation in the "civilized" world which still uses the death penalty.
I highly recommend it.
