Thousands of innocent people are behind bars in the United States.
But proving their innocence and winning their release is nearly
impossible. In Barred, legal scholar Daniel S. Medwed argues that
our justice system's stringent procedural rules are largely to
blame for the ongoing punishment of the innocent. Those rules
guarantee criminal defendants just one opportunity to appeal their
convictions directly to a higher court. Afterward, the wrongfully
convicted can pursue only a few narrow remedies. Even when there is
strong evidence of a miscarriage of justice, rigid guidelines,
bias, and deference toward lower courts all too often prevent
exoneration. Offering clear explanations of legal procedures
alongside heart-wrenching stories of their devastating impact,
Barred exposes how the system is stacked against the innocent and
makes a powerful call for change.
