Such a great book. I really enjoyed it. I have looked into the American justice system a lot but this all just really hit home for me and really put a face to the people that are being wrongfully convicted and how it actually happened to them. Loved this book.

Loved the message and the frank, open discussion of the subject matter. The pronouns were hard to follow as Jessica and Erik write because they use "we" but also both their names. Also watched the play on Amazon Prime and HIGHLY recommend that!!

Such a great back story to the making of the Exonerated. At times hard for me to read as I have met many of the individuals in the book.
