The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist: A True Story of Injustice in the American South by Radley Balko, Tucker Carrington

4.0

This book was a deep dive on the coroner system and those who took advantage of it in Mississippi, along with the junk science that was (and still is) running rampant in Mississippi and the rest of the country. The fact that our judicial system is not set up properly to allow science to move forward AND to discredit now debunked methods in the courtroom is truly disgusting.

"'The system's gonna do what the system's gonna do.'"

I feel like the last line of the book so succinctly sums up this book and the criminal justice system in the US in the most terrible way.
