Description
Although the presumption of innocence is a basic principle of a democratic legal system, once someone has been convicted, challenging the verdict is almost impossible. This Slovak-language book presents ten true stories of innocent people who spend decades in prison facing life imprisonment or the death penalty, losing their families, friends and best years while the real perpetrators remain free. John Grisham and Jim McCloskey describe the dramatic, relentless fight to overturn each conviction and examine what leads to unjust verdicts, including racism, procedural violations, false testimony and a distorted justice system. The result is helplessness and a ruined life. Told with the gripping tension associated with John Grisham, these cases are stories of overcoming obstacles when the battle seems lost and the opponent is playing with marked cards.
