298, illus., sources, index. In the last decade, DNA testing has uncovered stone-cold proof that 55 completely innocent people have been sent to prison and death row. At the Innocence Project, Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld have helped to free thirty-seven wrongly convicted people, and have taken up the causes of hundreds more. Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Jim Dwyer has been covering innocence cases for a decade. Here, Scheck, Neufeld, and Dwyer relate the harrowing story of ten innocent men, convicted by sloppy police work, corrupt prosecutors, jailhouse snitches, mistaken eyewitnesses, and other all-too-common flaws of the trial system.
