It seems inappropriate to say you enjoyed a book which contains details of such appalling miscarriages of justice but, if legal cases are something that interest you, this collection of ten stories of unbelievably mishandled prosecutions will be something you will want to pick up.
I was glued to the pages of this book — I read it in 24 hours — and was saddened and sickened by what these poor people went through for so many years, and in awe of the people who fought so hard on their behalf to make sure the truth came out.
It is hard to believe that the justice system can get things so wrong on so many levels and it made me fervently hope I never find myself in such a situation because this book makes it clear that false convictions can happen to anyone. It’s terrifying.
