Spencer to spent more than half his life in prison until independent investigators, the foreman of the jury that convicted him, and a new district attorney convinced a judge that Spencer had nothing to do with the killing. He was released from prison in 2022. Journalist Barbara Bradley Hagerty spent years immersed in Spencer's case. She combed police files and court records, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and had extensive conversations with Spencer. In Bringing Ben Home, she weaves together two narratives: how an innocent Black man got caught up in and couldn't escape a legal system that refused to admit its mistakes; and what Texas and other states aredoing to address wrongful convictions to make the legal process more equitable for everyone"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Judicial error $z United States. $9 88910 650 0 $a Compensation for judicial error $z United States. 650 0 $a False imprisonment $x Law and legislation $z United States.. 650 0 $a Prosecutorial misconduct $z United States.. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Legal status, laws, etc. $9 63556 650 0 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration $z United States. $9 88745 600 10 $a Spencer, Ben $q (Benjamine), $d 1965- $x Trials, litigation, etc. 650 0 $a Trials (Murder) $z Dallas. $z Dallas. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Bradley Hagerty, Barbara. $t Bringing Ben home $b First edition. $d New York : Riverhead Books, 2024 $z 9780593420102 $w (DLC) 2023056644 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240521010623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A1D3BDE173711EFA068004147ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
