About this audiobook
According to Pew Research Center, 78% of US adults are not convinced of the fairness of the death penalty and doubt its effectiveness as a deterrent to heinous crimes. .
Do you share the same views? Or do you have complete trust in the judicial process?
If you’re looking to broaden your grasp of this subject matter, you’ve come to the right place.
You will gain insights into the legal, moral, social, and personal implications of this type of criminal case.
In Death Row Innocence?, you will discover:
- 10 gripping stories of people sentenced to death — and how each illustrates the intricate workings (and failures) of the system
- How race and gender have always influenced the way crimes are handled in court
- Why common perspectives about fairness and justice don’t always align with legal definitions
- What the judicial system is doing to correct mistakes made in the past regarding the handling of serious crimes and are they doing enough?
- Shocking details showing how unfair convictions can result from false testimonies or coerced confessions
- What the institution provides after overturning a wrongful conviction — is it enough to compensate for the irreparable damage done?
- Actual cases, facts, and outcomes that will open your eyes to the cold reality of legal justice
As you’re about to uncover, you can support various causes and organizations all working toward the same goal of realizing true justice in our society.
The first step, however, is to immerse yourself in the facts and contexts relevant to the issues.
Raise your awareness, let your voice be heard, and be an advocate of fair justice.
