Review :
"An important step in showing that even the best criminal justice systems occasionally convict the innocent. Huff and Killias, two of the world’s most accomplished criminologists, have given us a collection of essays that are both first-rate and truly sobering" -Michael L. Radelet, University of Colorado, and author of In Spite of Innocence
