A case-based study of wrongful convictions

Justin Brooks’s legal textbook examines how criminal procedure, evidence, and investigative practices intersect in cases of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Its coverage includes eyewitness testimony, confessions, legal representation, police and prosecutorial conduct, and forensic evidence. The third edition updates cases and statutes, adds expanded chapter notes, and includes chapters on infant deaths, sex crimes against children, and arson. The case-and-materials format places legal and scientific questions alongside the procedures involved in these cases.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Law students studying criminal procedure, sentencing, or wrongful convictions
  • Legal professionals seeking a case-based reference on exoneration and contributing factors
  • Readers interested in forensic evidence and the legal process behind wrongful convictions

Book overview

Wrongful Convictions: Cases and Materials is the first legal textbook to explore the complex and fascinating legal and scientific issues involved in wrongful convictions and the exoneration of the innocent. This exciting area of the law is developing at a rapid pace as we learn more about the causes of wrongful conviction with each exoneration. The book is designed to teach about procedure related to the cases, as well as give a broad overview of the causes of wrongful convictions including false eyewitness testimony, false confessions, ineffective assistance of counsel, police and prosecutorial misconduct, and false forensic evidence. In this third edition, there have been significant updates to the cases and statutes from the previous edition, including expanded notes at the end of the chapters, as well as additional chapters on infant deaths, sex crimes against children, and arson.
