Imagine being convicted of a crime you didn't commit and spending years behind bars. Since 1989 more than 1,400 Americans who experienced this injustice have been exonerated. How can these injustices happen? Overturning Wrongful Convictions recounts stories of individuals who served someone else's prison time due to mistaken eyewitness identification, police misconduct, faulty forensic science, poor legal representation, courtroom mistakes, and other factors. Readers can examine real accounts of wrongful convictions, evaluate the legal processes that can lead to errors, and learn about the Innocence Project and other organizations dedicated to righting these wrongs.
