298, illus., sources, index. In the last decade, DNA testing has uncovered stone-cold proof that 55 completely innocent people have been sent to prison and death row. At the Innocence Project, Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld have helped to free thirty-seven wrongly convicted people, and have taken up the causes of hundreds more. Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Jim Dwyer has been covering innocence cases for a decade. Here, Scheck, Neufeld, and Dwyer relate the harrowing story of ten innocent men, convicted by sloppy police work, corrupt prosecutors, jailhouse snitches, mistaken eyewitnesses, and other all-too-common flaws of the trial system.

Acerca del autor

Daily News.

Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld and Jim Dwyer are among the United States' leading experts on innocence issues. Scheck and Neufeld founded and direct the Innocence Project, which seeks postconviction release through DNA testing. Perhaps the most prominent civil rights attorneys in the country, both are in private practice in New York City. Dwyer, the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the New York Daily News, began inquiring into wrongful convictions in 1992. He is also the author of Subway Lives: 24 Hours in the Life of the New York City Subway, and co-author of Two Seconds Under the World, an account of the World Trade Center bombing.
