Un-Making a Murderer by Shaun Attwood
Finally, an amazingly honest book that details exactly how my brother was set up - Brad Dassey
Innocent people do go to jail. Sometimes mistakes are made. But even more terrifying is when the authorities conspire to frame them. That's what happened to Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, who were convicted of murder and are serving life sentences.
Un-Making a Murderer is an explosive book which uncovers the illegal, devious and covert tactics used by Wisconsin officials, including:
- Concealing Other Suspects
- Paying Expert Witnesses to Lie
- Planting Evidence
- Jury Tampering
The art of framing innocent people has been in practice for centuries and will continue until the perpetrators are held accountable; turning conventional assumptions and beliefs in the justice system upside down, Un-Making a Murderer takes you on that journey.
The profits from this book are going to Steven and Brendan and to donate free books to schools and prisons. In the last two years, Shaun Attwood has donated 15,000 books.
Shaun Attwood is a former stock market millionaire and Ecstasy dealer who is now a public speaker, author, and activist who has been barred from entering the United States for the rest of his life. His experience was featured in an episode of Locked Up/Banged Up Overseas called Raving Arizona on the National Geographic Channel, which is available on YouTube. Shaun's writing, smuggled out of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's facility with the worst death rate in America, drew international media attention to the jail's human rights violations: guard and gang member murders, dead rats in the food, bug infestations... Shaun was forced to reconsider his life while incarcerated. In just over six years, he read over 1,000 volumes.
He wanted to better understand himself and his past behavior by studying original works in psychology and philosophy. He considers literature to be the lifeblood of his recovery. Shaun now speaks to schools about his experience to help young people avoid drugs and criminality. Via his books and blog, Jon's Prison Journal, he fights injustice.
He has been on the BBC, Sky News, and other television networks around the world to discuss issues impacting inmates' rights.
