Overview

Some of the accused people in this volume faced impossible survival decisions, like Joan Little and Kikkik. Others got away with murder, Melvin Henry Ingatow stands out for grisly evidence that came out after the fact, then there were the vile killers of Emmett Till. Eadward Muybridge jury ignored the law. Some were sent away by fraudulent experts, made up evidence or just pure racism - a group of mothers in England who were released years later and the Groveland Four, two of whom were murdered and all of whom were only exonerated 72 years after the fact. A witch hunt in Wenatchee saw 42 people caught up in a grievous grievous injustice perpetrated by police, social workers and prosecutors. In too many cases, police put blinders on, missed vital evidence, or mishandled evidence and as a result, killers remained free. In other cases, junk science played a role in either a wrongful conviction or a wrongful acquittal. In still others, killers walked away while prosecutors brought the weakest of cases against others. In this volume, we look at the justice system when it goes right and where it goes terribly, terribly wrong.
