Assumed Guilty: True Stories of People Found Guilty of Crimes They Did Not Commit
Assumed True Stories of People Found Guilty of Crimes They Did Not Commit(previously published under the title Executed Unjustly)
Recounts the true criminal stories of people who were accused, convicted and executed for crimes. Some of them were later officially exonerated for the crime but for others the preponderance of evidence today shows they were not guilty and were executed wrongfully, though never officially found innocent.
The true crime cases occurred in the United States and it will be shown that our Judicial System doesn’t always result in a fair decision. It seems unimaginable to most of us that totally innocent people would actually lose their lives due to fear, social inequality, legal ineptitude and downright criminal acts. The real crime seems to have been perpetrated by those who promised to uphold the law.
This series of books by Mike Riley tells the condensed story of each of the cases. They are intended to provide pertinent details so the reader gets a good grasp of each case and can then determine whether they want to explore any particular cases further. This allows the books to include more true crime stories and maybe some that the reader may not have heard of before.Some of the cases included
Josefa Rodriguez< – the only woman legally hanged in Texas,Joe Arridy– a man with the mind of a six year old,Leo Alexander Jones– a series of blunders and errors signed his death warrant, andCarlos DeLuna – a case of mistaken identity.Be prepared to be shocked at the details of these criminal cases and the tragic reasons and ways the innocent died.

Hmmm, that’s so sad!
This book is so sad, but so necessary. I’m really glad this book exist. If you think that the judicial system rarely gets it wrong read this book! The author doesn’t preach for or against the death penalty. These are just instances where they got it wrong. It definitely may make you cry
