📖 BOOK REVIEW 📖 Framed by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey is definitely one of my top reads of 2024. It covers 10 stories of wrongful conviction and is, as expected, infuriating and heart breaking. I’ve heard of some cases covered in the book, but others were new to me. But I learned something from each story. I cried multiple times throughout the book - especially learning some of the men wrongfully convicted are still in prison and one was executed. My main takeaways: 1. Wrongful conviction happens more often than we’d like to admit. Which I say all the time, but the point still stands. 2. The criminal justice system is not just (I used to say it’s broken, but now I agree with @book.ish.bitch - it’s not; it’s working exactly as it’s intended. 😢 a hard hitting epiphany). 3. Never, ever, ever waive your Miranda rights and speak without a lawyer present. Never. I think every single person in this book did, because they wanted to be helpful to police or didn’t want to look guilty (they weren’t).And look what happened… This one publishes TODAY - please go grab a copy (link in my stories)!
