Descriere magazin:
Now in paperback, Innocence Project attorney M. Chris Fabricant presents an insider\'s journey into the heart of a broken, racist system of justice and the role junk science plays in maintaining the status quo No one in America will ever know the number of innocent people convicted, sent to prison, and even executed because of the flood of rotten forensics and bogus scientific opinions presented to juries. In this intriguing and beautifully crafted book, Innocence Project lawyer M. Chris Fabricant illustrates how wrongful convictions occur, and he makes it obvious how they could be prevented. --John Grisham, author of A Time for Mercy Fierce and absorbing . . . Fabricant chronicles the battles he and his colleagues have fought to unravel a century of fraudulent experts and the bad court decisions that allowed them to thrive. --Washington Post Readers--especially those fond of TV detectives and their infallible crime labs--will be flabbergasted by [Fabricant\'s] list of forensic techniques long used by labs, including the FBI\'s, and proclaimed by highly paid \'expert witnesses\' that, when investigated by competent researchers, turn out to be unreliable or worthless . . . A brilliant rebuttal of junk science in the courtroom. --Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review From CSI to Forensic Files to the celebrated reputation of the FBI crime lab, forensic scientists have long been mythologized in American popular culture as infallible crime solvers. Juries put their faith in expert witnesses and innocent people have been executed as a result. Innocent people are still on death row today, condemned by junk science. In 2012, the Innocence Project began searching for prisoners convicted by junk science, and three men, each convicted of capital murder, became M. Chris Fabricant\'s clients. Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System chronicles the fights to overturn their wrongful convictions and to end the use of the science that destroyed their lives. Weaving together courtroom battles from Mississippi to Texas to New York City and beyond, Fabricant takes the reader on a journey into the heart of a broken, racist system of justice and the role forensic science plays in maintaining the status quo. At turns gripping, enraging, illuminating, and moving, Junk Science is a meticulously researched insider\'s perspective of the American criminal justice system. Previously untold stories of wrongful executions, corrupt prosecutors, and quackery masqueradi
