Surviving the Dark Side of American Justice

Routledge Revivals

First published in 1973, Wrongful Imprisonment aims to combine the human interest of individual cases of wrongful imprisonment with a general analysis of how and why they occur. It deals in detail with the English system, but also provides comparisons with Scotland, France, and the United States. The authors spent three years collecting material from newspaper reports, trial transcripts, books, lawyers, the Home Office and - most important - interviews with the persons concerned. As a result, they have been able to analyse objectively the existing system of justice; they have isolated and identified the areas in which the system is at fault, and the successive hazards which may confront the innocent man suspected of a criminal offence; they have also revealed the many obstacles which have to be overcome by the wrongfully imprisoned man seeking to establish his innocence and regain his liberty. This topical and convincingly argued book should appeal not only to students of law and sociology, or to lawyers, policemen, criminals, and others involved in the system of criminal justice, but also to the man in the Wormwood Scrubs omnibus.

Mistaken Convictions and their Consequences

Wrongful Imprisonment

In the quiet suburb of Simi Valley in 1978, the unthinkable shattered a family forever. Twenty-four-year-old Rhonda Wicht and her four-year-old son, Donnie, were brutally slain in their own home-a place that should have been their sanctuary. Their lives were cut short in an act of unspeakable violence that left a community reeling, and a sister's heart forever broken.
For nearly forty years, their accused killer sat behind bars-convicted, condemned, and written into history as the man responsible. But when he was pardoned in 2017, everything changed. The justice Shelley Hamilton had clung to was ripped away, leaving her not with closure, but with torment-the devastating belief that a guilty man had been set free, while her sister and nephew were left forsaken by the system that had once spoken for them.
The Forsaken is the story of darkness and betrayal-but also of resilience, love, and one woman's refusal to let her sister and nephew be forgotten. Shelley's voice echoes through these pages, a heartbroken reminder that sometimes, justice does not merely fail-it is undone. Her relentless pursuit is not only for Rhonda and Donnie, but for truth itself, even when the courts and public opinion are willing to turn away.
Shocking, deeply human, and profoundly moving, this book pulls readers into a decades-long struggle between memory and doubt, law and conscience. It is a reminder that behind every headline lies a devastated family...and that even against the tide of history, one woman's love refuses to be silenced.

The Forsaken

What happens when the machinery of justice is captured by the incentives of the people who run it? Dr. John M. Cobin answers from the inside. Wrongly convicted after an act of self-defense, this American-born economist spent five years and five months in a Chilean prison despite physical and forensic evidence of his innocence. Surviving Chilean Justice is both a first-person memoir of that ordeal and a public-choice analysis of why it happened: how prosecutors, judges, prison officials, and politicians respond to incentives rather than truth, and why political persecution flourishes in systems with weak accountability. Across twenty chapters, Cobin recounts life inside Chilean cellblocks, the workings of the criminal-justice bureaucracy, and the faith that sustained him - while applying the analytical tools of public choice economics that he taught for nearly three decades. Book 05 of the Alertness Books economics line, with references and suggested further reading.

The fascinating story of how two brothers-one an English professor, the other a cop, and as different as night and day-tag team as authors to solve North Carolina's most notorious cold case ...

A MURDER ON CAMPUS: The Professor, The Cop, And North Carolina's Most Notorious Cold Case by Brian and Cameron Santana is a true crime investigation that unveils the shocking story behind the brutal 1973 murder on campus of 19-year-old Virginia Marie Olson.

On April 15, 1973, two high school students discovered Olson's body near the campus of the University of North Carolina-Asheville. The cold case that followed would span over 50 years, involving three generations of detectives and the Asheville Police Department and North Carolina SBI as they worked tirelessly to uncover the truth. Olson's murder was horrifically violent-she had been bound, raped, and stabbed to death, leaving the Asheville community in shock.

The true crime book takes readers through law enforcement's dramatic efforts to find Olson's killer, facing numerous obstacles along the way, from the abduction of another UNCA student in 1974 to a rape and murder victim's body discovered near Olson's crime scene in 1978. Whispers about the killer's identity have circulated for decades, with theories ranging from an escaped mental health patient to one of North Carolina's most notorious serial killers-until now.

A MURDER ON CAMPUS is the first to tell the gripping story of this unsolved crime and the surprising twists that led to the authors' revelation of the killer's identity in North Carolina's most notorious cold cases. Written by two brothers, one a cop and the other an English professor, this book offers a unique and fascinating perspective on a case that has haunted Buncombe County for generations.

A MURDER ON CAMPUS

Shortlisted, 2025 Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice An eye-opening look at “participatory defense,” the innovative practice that allows the loved ones of those charged with crimes to help influence the outcome of court cases, by the MacArthur Award–winning activist The courthouse is an important part of every story of mass incarceration in America and, too often, it is a place of powerlessness for those facing criminal charges, their families, and their communities. But the courthouse can also be an important site of resistance, a place where Americans affected by incarceration can become agents of change—even though they are not lawyers or judges. Writing for those new to activism and seasoned organizers alike, celebrated criminal justice advocate Raj Jayadev provides a comprehensive introduction to participatory defense, the incredibly effective community organizing model that leads to better outcomes for criminal cases, shifting power in courtrooms along the way. In lively, accessible prose, Jayadev presents remarkable stories from organizers across the country who demonstrate how participatory defense has led to acquittals, dismissed and reduced charges, and prevented lengthy prison sentences. Lifting up a radical vision of community intervention, Protect Your People also addresses bail hearings, deportation cases, and youth threatened with transfer to adult court, showing that real change is possible when ordinary people step into America’s courtrooms and get involved.

&lt;div&gt;The book reviews the origin and development of the exclusionary rule in China, and systematically explains the problems and challenges faced by criminal justice reformers. The earlier version of the exclusionary rule in China pays more attention to confessions obtained by torture and other illegal methods, reflecting that the orientation of the rule aims mainly to prevent wrongful convictions. Since the important clause that human rights are respected and protected by the country was written in the Constitution in 2004, modern notions such as human rights protection and procedural justice have been widely accepted in China. The book compares various theories of the exclusionary rule in many countries and proposes that the rationale of human rights protection and procedural justice should be embraced by the exclusionary rule. At the same time, the book elaborately demonstrates the thoughts and designs of the vital judicial reform strategy--strict enforcement of the exclusionary rule, including clarifying the content of illegal evidence and improving the procedure of excluding illegal evidence. In addition, the book discusses the influence of the exclusionary rule on the pretrial procedure and trial procedure respectively and puts forward pertinent suggestions for the trial-centered procedural reform in the future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;In the appendix, the book conducts case analysis of 20 selected cases concerning the application of the exclusionary rule. This is the first book to give a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the exclusionary rule of illegally obtained evidence in China. The author of the book, senior judge of the Supreme People’s Court in China, with his special experience of direct participation in the design of the exclusionary rule, will provide the readers with thought-provoking explanation of the distinctive feature of judicial reform strategy and criminal justice policy in China.&lt;/div&gt;

The Exclusionary Rule of Illegal Evidence in China

The Boston police officers who brutally beat Michael Cox at a deserted fence one icy night in 1995 knew soon after that they had made a terrible mistake. The badge and handgun under Cox's bloodied parka proved he was not a black gang member but a plainclothes cop chasing the same murder suspect his assailants were. Officer Kenny Conley, who pursued and apprehended the suspect while Cox was being beaten, was then wrongfully convicted by federal prosecutors of lying when he denied witnessing the attack on his brother officer. Both Cox and Conley were native Bostonians, each dedicating his life to service with the Boston Police Department. But when they needed its support, they were heartlessly and ruthlessly abandoned.A remarkable work of investigative journalism, The Fence tells the shocking true story of the attack and its aftermath—and exposes the lies and injustice hidden behind a "blue wall of silence."

A Police Cover-up Along Boston's Racial Divide

The Fence

"In 1989, Ben Spencer was convicted of murdering businessman Jeffrey Young-a crime he didn't commit. Spencer to spent more than half his life in prison until independent investigators, the foreman of the jury that convicted him, and a new district attorney convinced a judge that Spencer had nothing to do with the killing. He was released from prison in 2022. Journalist Barbara Bradley Hagerty spent years immersed in Spencer's case. She combed police files and court records, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and had extensive conversations with Spencer. In Bringing Ben Home, she weaves together two narratives: how an innocent Black man got caught up in and couldn't escape a legal system that refused to admit its mistakes; and what Texas and other states are doing to address wrongful convictions to make the legal process more equitable for everyone"--

True Crime Stories

The Debatable Case of Mrs. Emsley

&lt;p&gt;This book explores the links between crime, deviance and popular culture in our highly-mediatised era, offering an insight into the cultural processes through which particular practices acquire a criminal or deviant status, and come to be seen as social problems. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the edited collection brings together international scholars across various areas of specialisation to provide an up-to-date analysis of some important and topical issues in 21st-century popular culture. The chapters look at different aspects of popular culture, including fictional detective narratives and the true crime genre, popular media constructions of sexual deviance and Islamophobia, sports, graffiti and outlaw biker subcultures. The authors examine a wide range of relevant case studies through a number of crime and deviance-related theories. &lt;i&gt;Crime, Deviance and Popular Culture&lt;/i&gt; will be of importance to scholars and students across several disciplines, including criminology, sociology of deviance, social anthropology, media studies, cultural studies, television studies&amp;nbsp;and linguistics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Crime, Deviance and Popular Culture

Clarance Goode Jr. has been on Oklahoma's death row for nearly nineteen years for three murders he did not commit.
No DNA. No fingerprints. No weapons. No physical evidence of any kind placing him at the Thompson house on the night of August 25, 2005. What the state had was the word of a woman who had threatened her brother's life and was never charged, the word of a man who told police he was blacking out on a drug cocktail the night of the killings, and bullets "found" by a Tulsa detective later convicted of planting evidence. Forty-two people had their convictions overturned because of that detective. Clarance Goode has never been granted a hearing.
The Weight of Someone Else's Sin tells his whole life: the boy on the north side of Tulsa who bit his baby brother's finger on his third birthday, the teenager followed through stores and thrown to the ground in front of his own home, the young father who made choices he is not proud of and has owned ever since, the man who rebuilt after federal prison, buried his father, lost his two closest friends in a single week, then answered the phone when someone he knew called for help. That phone call put him within reach of people who would lie to save themselves. A prosecution built on those lies did the rest.
The Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood, Clarance's spiritual advisor, has heard him confess to everything he ever did. He has NEVER heard him confess to this. Hood has accompanied thirteen people to their executions. He knows what guilt sounds like. He knows what innocence sounds like. This book is his witness.
Clarance Goode will not plead guilty to a crime he did not commit, not for a life sentence, not for anything. The state of Oklahoma is preparing to kill him anyway. Read his story. Remember his name. Then do something about it.
