from SAM&PAM's Book Radar

"Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions", co-written by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey, and published in **2024**. It is a non-fiction book that presents a collection of ten true crime stories about wrongful convictions in the United States. The book aims to raise awareness about the flaws in the American justice system and advocate for reform to prevent future miscarriages of justice. Each author selected five cases that they found particularly compelling, with McCloskey choosing cases that he personally worked on as a case manager and lead investigator for Centurion Ministries. Grisham selected cases based on his research of articles, books, legal briefs, court opinions, and documentaries. Both authors limited each story to approximately 10,000 words. The book delves into the intricate details of each case, examining the factors that contributed to the wrongful convictions, such as coerced confessions, unreliable eyewitness testimony, and flawed forensic evidence. Through these stories, the authors highlight the human cost of these miscarriages of justice and advocate for change.

Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in t Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world.
