I just finished reading John Grisham's recent novel, The Guardians. It's about a tiny operation, always scrambling for funds, committed to exonerating innocent prisoners. Grisham was inspired by the work of Jim McCloskey, a minister who found his calling in this daunting work.
McCloskey's group, Centurion Ministries, takes on the cases where there is no DNA.
There's a new book out about Jim McCloskey, When Truth is All You Have. Here's an excerpt from the review:
When Truth is All You Have is a riveting and infuriating examination of criminal prosecutions, revealing how easy it is to convict the wrong person and how nearly impossible it is to undo the error.

Surprise! After being number 400 and then number 200 the last time I looked, the new Ann Patchett book, The Dutch House, showed up ready for download. Have you read it?
I read it.
ReplyDeleteJust a note to make you happy.... Grisham ‘s last book was Camino Winds.
ReplyDeleteSo there’s more for you to read.
