BESTSELLER #1 DEL NEW YORK TIMES • “El maestro del thriller legal” (Associated Press) se une al “padrino del movimiento de la inocencia” (Texas Monthly) para compartir diez desgarradoras historias verdaderas sobre condenas injustas.
John Grisham es conocido a nivel mundial por sus novelas bestsellers, pero su pasión por la justicia en la vida real lo llevó a trabajar con Jim McCloskey, de Centurion Ministries, la primera organización dedicada a exonerar gente inocente condenada por error. Juntos ofrecen una mirada al interior de muchas injusticias en el sistema penal de Estados Unidos.
Un principio fundamental de nuestro sistema legal es la presunción de la inocencia, pero una vez que alguien ha sido encontrado culpable, queda muy poco margen para probar la duda. Estos diez relatos ilustran la verdadera historia de personas inocentes que fueron encontradas culpables y obligadas a sacrificar amigos, familia y décadas de su vida en prisión, mientras los criminales permanecían en libertad. En cada una de las historias, John Grisham y Jim McCloskey recuentan las arduas y dramáticas batallas por su exoneración. Juntos examinan qué es lo que conduce hacia esas condenas injustas en primer lugar, así como el racismo, la mala conducta, los testimonios fallidos y la corrupción en los tribunales que pueden dificultar mucho el revertirlas.
Con una investigación impecable y contado con ese mismo suspenso que te hace pasar las páginas como solo John Grisham puede crear, Acusado injustamente es una historia sobre alcanzar la libertad cuando la batalla parece ya perdida y tienes todo en contra.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The master of the legal thriller” (Associated Press) teams up with “the godfather of the innocence movement” (Texas Monthly) to share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions.
“Each of these stories is told with astonishing power.”—David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon
“Gripping . . . compelling . . . What makes [Framed] important reading isn’t the shock value advertised in the title. It’s the exposure of the infuriating, recurrent factors involved in so many unrighteous convictions.”—The Washington Post
John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system.
A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse.
Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you.
