About this Item

Signed by all three authors! With a personal dedication by C. E. Putnam; the volume confronts the reader with how easily safeguards against mistaken convictions can fail. In showing that ordinary citizens, in spite of their innocence, can become trapped in the machinery of justice - even sentenced to die - the authors deliver a strong indictment against capitol punishment.

About this title

Synopsis:

The stories of some 400 innocent Americans who were falsely convicted of capital crimes.

Review:

"The authors of In Spite of Innocence provide evidence that justice is not served well by the death penalty. On the contrary, under close examination the history of the death penalty in America is one of injustice." -- Criminal Justice Review
