The Wrong Guys by Tom Wells
A gripping true story of justice gone awry, in which four innocent men separately confess to the 1997 murder and rape of a woman. Although the real perpetrator has now been convicted, three of the four men remain in prison, attesting to the powerful role of confession in the criminal justice system. Wells and Leo interweave a narrative following this unfolding case exploring topics of coercive interrogation, police perjury and prosecutorial politics in the death penalty. This book presents an urgent call for justice and reformation.George C. Thomas III is Rutgers University Board of Governors Professor of Law & Judge Alexander P. Waugh, Sr. Distinguished Scholar. Richard A. Leo is Professor of Law and Dean's Circle Research Scholar at the University of San Francisco.
