This book presents a collection of sixty-five cases that highlight the tragic consequences of erroneous criminal convictions. The author challenges the presumption that "innocent men are never convicted," offering real-life examples that demonstrate the flaws in the criminal justice system. Borchard advocates for a system where the state assumes responsibility for the mistakes of official wrongdoing, particularly in wrongful convictions, and compensates the innocent victims of such errors. The book makes a compelling case for public indemnity as a necessary measure to right the wrongs of justice and serves as an important critique of criminal law and its failures.
