Summary

Wrongful Conviction Patterns explores the systemic flaws within the criminal justice system that lead to the unjust imprisonment of innocent individuals. It highlights how issues like flawed forensic science, unreliable eyewitness testimony, and inadequate legal representation contribute to these miscarriages of justice. For example, the book reveals how implicit biases can significantly skew legal proceedings, leading to unfair outcomes. Understanding these patterns is crucial for legal professionals, policymakers, and anyone concerned with justice.

 
The book examines how these factors are not isolated incidents but predictable outcomes of systemic weaknesses. It proceeds logically by first introducing core concepts like forensic fallibility and eyewitness misidentification, then delving into detailed explorations supported by case studies and statistical analysis. Drawing on court transcripts and legal research, the analysis quantifies the prevalence of contributing factors.

 
By connecting to broader fields like psychology and political science, Wrongful Conviction Patterns provides a holistic understanding of the issue and offers potential reforms for a more equitable legal system.

    Native Americans’ Forgotten...

    Most Americans have heard of the Little Bighorn, the 1876 battle in which a band of Lakota Sioux and their allies wiped out most of the 7th U.S. Cavalry under the command of George Armstrong Custer. The movie images are of fierce warriors in long eagle feather headdresses flowing behind them as they gallop across the plains on nimble Indian ponies. In fact, many Americans know the names of the commanders who beat Custer, most notably Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, and there are famous photographs of the stolid looking, copper-skinned Sitting Bull participating in Buffalo Bill’s “Wild West Show.” 
	Children in schools also learn that there were more battles in the coming years as American settlers pushed west, and names like Geronimo are instantly famous after the U.S. Army’s tough fight with the Apache. A few may even have learned of the formidable Comanches in the Texas Panhandle, and maybe even events like the Fetterman Massacre or the fights at Adobe Wells. 
	Today, far fewer people are familiar with the conflicts that took place east of the Mississippi before the Indian Wars of the late 19th century, fought in the forests and woodlands rather than on the prairies. The names of a few of the tribes involved are well known - the Cherokee, Iroquois and Seminole and Choctaw – while other formidable groups like the Yamasee, Miamis, Delaware, Powhatan, and Shawnee are less known. As whites pushed west from the East Coast, there were fights against the Abenaki, and during the French & Indian War, two regiments of Redcoats and colonial militia were decimated near what is now Pittsburgh. An alliance under Chief Pontiac threw the British and Americans out of the Great Lakes country for a time in the mid-18th century and had much to do with the fracture between colonies and the mother country. And tribal leaders like Blue Jacket and Little Turtle waged bitter wars in the Old Northwest, including inflicting the worst defeat ever of the U.S. Army.

    The dramatic story of an ingenious man who explained nature and created a country. 
 
 
 
Benjamin Franklin was one of the preeminent scientists of his time. Driven by curiosity, he conducted cutting-edge research on electricity, heat, ocean currents, weather patterns, chemical bonds, and plants. But today, Franklin is remembered more for his political prowess and diplomatic achievements than his scientific creativity. 
 
 
 
In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story, reveals his modern relevance, and offers a compelling portrait of a shrewd experimenter, clever innovator, and visionary physicist whose fame opened doors to negotiate French support and funding for American independence. 
 
 
 
Munson's riveting narrative explores how science underpins Franklin's entire story—from tradesman to inventor to nation-founder—and argues that Franklin's political life cannot be understood without giving proper credit to his scientific accomplishments.
