The Supreme Court's Actual Innocence Problem
4.3/5(2120 ratings)
About this book
The author analyzes recent US Supreme Court rulings in all of the areas of constitutional criminal procedure, which wrongful convictions scholars generally agree are most flawed in ways that lead to wrongful convictions. These problem areas include: 1) Eyewitness identification procedures 2) Police interrogations 3) Forensic evidence 4) Informant testimony 5) Indigent defense 6) Prosecutorial Immunity and 7) The rights of inmates to post-conviction actual innocence hearings. He also explains the terrifying phenomenon of wrongful executions, which are inevitable in any nation that tolerates both wrongful convictions and the death penalty. This book makes a unique contribution to the literature on wrongful convictions by explaining how the Supreme Court has failed to adequately respond to the data on inmate exonerations since the DNA Revolution in forensic science. Even when confronted with recent exoneration data, the Supreme Court has continued, in every major area where reform is needed, to minimize and perpetuate the miscarriages of justice.
