A case-based guide to wrongful convictions

Organized as cases and materials, this legal text examines procedural questions and factors associated with wrongful convictions and exonerations. Its coverage includes eyewitness testimony, confessions, counsel, police and prosecutorial conduct, and forensic evidence. The fourth edition updates cases from the prior edition and adds a chapter on civil suits arising from wrongful convictions, extending the book’s scope to litigation after exoneration. The emphasis on both legal procedure and the range of contributing issues makes it a reference point for studying how wrongful convictions are examined across criminal and civil contexts.
