About This Item
Harvard University Press, 2015. First edition. Cloth. Fine/fine. Hardcover. warm, lenghty inscription by the author on the title page. First printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. 367 pp. with index. Based on trial transcripts, the author's ionvestigation into the causes of wrongful convictions reveals larger patterns of incompetence, abuse and error. Evidence corrupted by suggestive eyewitness procedures, coercive interrogations, unsound and unreliable forensics, shoddy investigative practices, cognitive bias, and poor lawyering illustrate the weaknesses built into our currentr criminal justice system. Garrett proposes practical reforms that rely more on documented, recorded, and audited evidence and less on fallible human memory.
