Nespravodlivo odsúdení
Prezumpcia neviny je síce základným princípom demokratického právneho systému, lenže keď už v ňom raz niekoho odsúdia, je takmer nemožné verdikt spochybniť. Kniha Nespravodlivo odsúdení prináša desať skutočných príbehov nevinných ľudí, ktorí strávili vo väzení celé desaťročia s vidinou doživotia či trestu smrti, prišli o rodinu, priateľov aj najlepšie roky života, zatiaľ čo praví páchatelia zostali na slobode.
John Grisham a Jim McCloskey v každom z týchto príbehov opisujú dramatický a nemilosrdný boj za zrušenie rozsudkov. Zblízka skúmajú, čo vlastne vedie k nespravodlivým verdiktom. Často za to môže rasizmus, porušovanie predpisov, klamlivé svedectvá či pokrivený justičný systém. Výsledkom je potom len čistá bezmocnosť a zmarený život.
Prípady nespravodlivo odsúdených sú vyrozprávané so strhujúcim napätím, aké dokáže čitateľovi priniesť len John Grisham. Je to príbeh o prekonávaní prekážok, keď sa zdá, že bitka je už prehratá a súper hrá s označenými kartami.

Framed
Ten wrongful conviction cases
Twenty-one innocent people
Framed tells ten stories with a truth more shocking than fiction
John Grisham, the master of the legal thriller, teams up with Jim McCloskey, who has dedicated his life to exonerating innocent people, to uncover stories that shine an astonishing light on miscarriages of justice. All the cases in this book are simply extraordinary. And all are true.
Joe Bryan suffered the unbearable tragedy of his wife's murder, only to be tried and found guilty of the crime himself - despite being 120 miles away at the time it was committed.
Clarence Brandley spent nine years on Death Row, coming to within six days of execution, before new evidence cleared him of all charges.
And in the case of the Norfolk Four, police and prosecutors continued to arrest innocent people until not one but four men were behind bars.
Impeccably researched and told with page-turning conviction, in Framed, these cases are finally laid bare.
Most importantly, they show how truth can prevail and how freedom can be won when all seems lost.
