Juries put their faith in "expert witnesses" and innocent people have been executed as a result. Innocent people are still on death row today, condemned by junk science. In 2012, the Innocence Project began searching for prisoners convicted by junk science, and three men, each convicted of capital murder, became M. Chris Fabricant's clients. Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System chronicles the fights to overturn their wrongful convictions and to end the use of the "science" that destroyed their lives. Weaving together courtroom battles from Mississippi to Texas to New York City and beyond, Fabricant takes the reader on a journey into the heart of a broken, racist system of justice and the role forensic science plays in maintaining the status quo. At turns gripping, enraging, illuminating, and moving, Junk Science is a meticulously researched insider's perspective of the American criminal justice system. Previously untold stories of wrongful executions, corrupt prosecutors, and quackery masquerading as science animate Fabricant's true crime narrative." --. $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States $0 (DLC)sh 86006644 650 0 $a Forensic sciences $z United States $0 (DLC)sh2008121040 650 0 $a Evidence (Law) $z United States $0 (DLC)sh2008103376 650 0 $a Pseudoscience $z United States $0 (DLC)sh2001002975 650 0 $a Judicial error $z United States $0 (DLC)sh2008122557 650 0 $a Racism in criminal justice administration $z United States $0 (DLC)sh2020005983 650 0 $a Judicial corruption $z United States $0 (DLC)sh 85070939 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a ReÌcits criminels. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611021609.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9195D24427B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
