New York: Barnes And Noble, 2006. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 1x6x9. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. light edge wear to boards and jacket; In January 2000, Illinois Governor George H. Ryan declared a moratorium on state executions. Three years later, Ryan commuted all Illinois death sentences to life imprisonment, saying, âOur capital system is haunted by the demon of error, error in determining guilt, and error in determining who among the guilty deserves to die.â This book chronicles over one hundred cases where journalism students, grassroots organizations, families, and pro bono lawyersâarmed with DNA evidence and other instruments of justiceâhave defeated that demon. Cohen reveals how eyewitness error, jailhouse snitch testimony, racism, junk science, prosecutorial misconduct, and incompetent counsel have often populated Americaâs death row with the wrong men. Readers embark on journeys with men who were arrested, convicted, sentenced to death, dragged through the appeals system, and finally set free based on their actual innocence. Some languished for decades in our death houses. Notable cases of wrongful imprisonment outside of death row are also profiled. Although these stories end with vindication, there are those that have ended with unjustified execution. The Wrong Men is sure to fuel controversy over a justice system that has delivered the ultimate punishment 820 times since 1976, though it cannot guarantee accurate convictions.
