Wrong Men : America's Epidemic of Wrongful Death Row Convictions

The chilling tales of 100 men & 2 women wrongfully convicted & sentenced to death, including the true stories featured in the play ¿The Exonerated.¿ Here are the most horrific crimes committed by the state against innocent people. Racism, eyewitness error, junk science, jailhouse snitches, prosecutorial misconduct, & incompetent counsel have repeatedly sent the wrong men to death row. Here are 100+ cases in which journalism students, grassroots org., families, & pro bono lawyers -- armed with DNA evidence & other instruments of justice -- have defeated errors within the system. Men like Anthony Porter, Randall Dale Adams, & Earl Washington were arrested, convicted, sentenced to death, dragged through the appeals system, & finally exonerated.
