We tend to a caste system in the U.S. There are those accused of "crime" and the rest of us, good-thinking people. This book shatters that myth by exposing the number of people falsely accused and convicted--who sometimes spend decades in prison or are even executed!--while the truly guilty run free. Unethical prosecutors (who seldom suffer any consequences), ignorant and biased judges, overzealous police more intent on conviction than real justice--all are covered. It's hard to put down, and ends with succinct recommendations to change the system so that the criminal injustice system DOES change. Highly recommended.

Yant takes a hard look at a mid-sized city with metropolis sized corruption, leaving no stone unturned. Yant should be commended for his courage. Convinced your home town is as pure as the driven snow? Read this, then take a look around you. You, like Yant, might be surprised at what you see. Excellent content.
