The American judicial system is far too often a source of injustice for the innocent rather than justice for the guilty. Despite all the alleged protections built into the trial process, a person facing criminal charges is virtually presumed guilty until proven innocent - not the reverse. This book is about thousands of innocent Americans who each year are convicted of serious crimes they did not commit. Many are convicted of crimes that did not even occur. Journalist Martin Yant vividly and dramatically explains the process by which American justice is miscarried, providing carefully researched details about over 100 wrongful convictions.

Martin D. Yant is a journalist and a licensed private investigator. He has worked for the Pittsburgh Press, Chicago Daily News, Chicago Sun-Times, the Mansfield, Ohio, News Journal, and the Columbus Dispatch. He has discussed wrongful convictions and other forms of injustice on numerous TV and radio talk shows and had his investigations featured on NBC-TV's Unsolved Mysteries, The CBS Evening News, 48 Hours, A&E's American Justice, the Discovery Channel, and a German TV network. He is the author of Presumed Guilty; Desert Mirage: The True Story of the Gulf War; Tin Star Tyrants: America's Crooked Sheriffs; Rotten to the Core: Crime, Sex and Corruption in Johnny Appleseed's Hometown; and a follow-up book called Rotten to the Core 2.
