註釋This is the story of two innocent men who were sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a young girl, in what has been described as one of the longest and most controversial cases in U.S. criminal justice history. Meanwhile, a sexual predator convicted of similar crimes has yet to be charged even when his DNA matches the one found in the victim's body and despite his own confession to the girl's murder. Why?Behind this story of sacrificial lambs lies a plot filled with the political ambitions of those who, enabled by a society supportive of the death penalty, saw the chance to advance their careers at the expense of two poor individuals from an ethnic minority. Enter the Coalition for Justice, a group of people who believed in the innocence of the two men. This book tells of the Coalition's efforts to secure their freedom and calls for the indictment of the confessed killer so the two innocent men are finally exonerated in the court of public opinion.
