For every newspaper photo of an innocent person exiting the prison gates, clutching the hand of their triumphant lawyer, there are uncountable others who we will never allow to see that day--who will die in prison because our laws make it so difficult to prove their innocence in court. In Barred, Daniel S. Medwed gives us an urgent tour of the darkest corners of our judicial system, where persuasive evidence becomes trapped in a labyrinth of legal procedure. Underlying Medwed's sharp legal analysis is a political question: Is this the country we want to be? --Maurice Chammah, author of Let the Lord Sort Them By blending tales of real-life wrongful convictions with straightforward explanations of legal procedures, Daniel Medwed's Barred demystifies the mysterious path for the innocent after trial. Medwed's clear and engaging writing style makes the topic accessible to anyone interested in the hazards of our criminal justice system. A must-read! --Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking
