Wrongful Conviction
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
8 pages in length. To understand how a person can be wrongfully convicted despite the existence of some of the most compelling evidence in favor of his innocence is to realize the fatal flaws that plague the American judicial system. Even more disturbing is the validity placed upon certain eyewitnesses when it is difficult at best and impossible at worst to corroborate their stories, a critical and necessary task to achieve when a man's life hangs in the balance based solely upon someone's erroneous claim. Gerald Amirault exemplifies a defective legal system whereby the testimony a single individual - a child, no less - can convict a man when everything else in the case points to the other direction: innocence. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
