The best and worse of the legal system.

The American legal system is shown at its worse and at its best in this true story of a Cuban immigrant to America who is falsely convicted of murder, sentenced to die, and after fourteen years on death row, finally exonerated. Arlene Krieger writes a compasionate and moving story that shows what it feels like to find yourself framed for a murder someone else committed. A poor man without means has his whole future left to an inexperienced and overworked legal aid attorney who fails to conduct a basic investigation into the case. A prosecutor wants a conviction is is unconcerned about whether the right man is convicted. And after fourteen years in prison, better people and better lawyers work to reverse the wrongs done.
