5.0
I have the greatest respect for Brooks' work. This wasn't a book that would CHANGE my mind, because I am already a big fan of the Innocence Project. He is not a tear jerker. He has the fluid, competent and precise language you'd expect from a professional lawyer and teacher, but his factual stories made me tear up multiple times.
He is very aware of structural and procedural problems of the just ce system and wraps them into a clear structure. The information density is high and he has solution proposals for all problems named. He praises and gives credit to others like it is a sport. The book closes by discussing criticisms of the Innocence Project. 10/10
