and other paradoxes of our broken legal system
Explores stories of innocent people wrongfully incarcerated in the American justice system where the incarcerated felt pressured to plead guilty, while other stories showcase how often the guilty in high-profile, white-collar jobs go free. Offers critiques of the justice system and what the author, who has spent twenty-four years as a federal trial judge in New York, thinks could be done to make the system more equitable.
