Based on trial transcripts, the author's ionvestigation into the causes of wrongful convictions reveals larger patterns of incompetence, abuse and error. Evidence corrupted by suggestive eyewitness procedures, coercive interrogations, unsound and unreliable forensics, shoddy investigative practices, cognitive bias, and poor lawyering illustrate the weaknesses built into our currentr criminal justice system. Garrett proposes practical reforms that rely more on documented, recorded, and audited evidence and less on fallible human memory. Fine / fine. Item #E29696
