Scott Christianson’s new book, Innocent: Inside Wrongful Conviction Cases, examines mistakes in New York’s criminal justice system with an emphasis on mistaken identifications, perjury by eyewitnesses, ineffective counsel, false confessions, and police and prosecutorial misconduct. The book includes a log of the state’s wrongful conviction cases, including some capital cases. Christianson reminds readers, “Unfortunately, not much is known about the current nature and extent of wrongful conviction. The state does not maintain a master list of its mistakes.” He does applaud state and national efforts to review and improve accuracy, including programs such as The Innocence Project at Cardozo Law School and North Carolina’s study to investigate the causes of wrongful convictions.
