After nine years on death row, DNA testing cast doubt on his conviction and saved his life. However, he spent another eight years in prison before more sophisticated DNA technology proved his innocence and convicted the guilty man. DNA exonerations have shattered confidence in the criminal justice system by exposing how often we have convicted the innocent and let the guilty walk free. In this unsettling in-depth analysis, Brandon Garrett examines what went wrong in the cases of the first 250 wrongfully convicted people to be exonerated by DNA testing. Based on trial transcripts, Garrett's investigation 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 illustrates the weaknesses built into our current criminal justice system. Garrett proposes practical reforms that rely more on documented, recorded, and audited evidence, and less on fallible human memory. Very few crimes committed in the United States involve biological evidence that can be tested using DNA. How many unjust convictions are there that we will never discover? Convicting the Innocent makes a powerful case for systemic reforms to improve the accuracy of all criminal cases. 606 $aElectronic books. -- local 606 $aJudicial error$zUnited States 606 $aEvidence, Criminal$zUnited States 606 $aPost-conviction remedies$zUnited States 615 4$aElectronic books. -- local. 615 0$aJudicial error 615 0$aEvidence, Criminal 615 0$aPost-conviction remedies 676 $a345.73064 700 $aGarrett$b Brandon$01097337 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956965103321 996 $aConvicting the Innocent$94356913 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02968nam 2200733 a 450 001 9910974632703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786611251383 010 $a9781847871091 010 $a1847871097 010 $a9780857020208 010 $a085702020X 010 $a9781281251381 010 $a1281251380 035 $a(CKB)1000000000577220 035 $a(EBL)334609 035 $a(OCoLC)437202986 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000264668 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11937544 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000264668 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10291182 035 $a(PQKB)10149490 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC334609 035 $a(OCoLC)270933525 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0000018905 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL334609 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10218280 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL125138 035 $a(OCoLC)46909518 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB144678 035 $a(PPN)238400816 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)88869378 035 $a(FRCYB88869378)88869378 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000577220 100 $a20011106d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aUnderstanding social science research /$fThomas R.
