These problem areas include: 1) Eyewitness identification procedures 2) Police interrogations 3) Forensic evidence 4) Informant testimony 5) Indigent defense 6) Prosecutorial Immunity and 7) The rights of inmates to post-conviction actual innocence hearings. He also explains the terrifying phenomenon of wrongful executions, which are inevitable in any nation that tolerates both wrongful convictions and the death penalty.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book makes a unique contribution to the literature on wrongful convictions by explaining how the Supreme Court has failed to adequately respond to the data on inmate exonerations since the DNA Revolution in forensic science. Even when confronted with recent exoneration data, the Supreme Court has continued, in every major area where reform is needed, to minimize and perpetuate the miscarriages of justice.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNathan Goetting is a Professor of Criminal Justice and Jurisprudence at Adrian College in Adrian, Michigan.

In his discussion of how wrongful convictions occur and of their frequency, Goetting illustrates one of the major flaws of the American criminal justice system, which is constitutionally designed to provide robust protection against such errors.The book effectively and succinctly discusses the Supreme Court’s doctrines that contribute to wrongful convictions, and the steps that the Court should take to reduce the frequency of these errors. Finally, Goetting brings his subject to life by discussing landmark Supreme Court cases in detail, and he writes in a style that is accessible to non-lawyers. He has created a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn about this topic.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Aman McLeod, J.D., Ph.D, Associate Professor of Law, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"At this point it's pretty well known that innocent people go to prison, and the villains of most stories tend to be police or prosecutors. But many in law enforcement don't want to create injustice, either. Nathan Goetting's The Supreme Court's Actual Innocence Problem is a refreshingly plainspoken and penetrating argument for why our nation's top court is actually where the buck stops, and how the justices can fix an ongoing, devastating problem, with no shortage of bipartisan support.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Maurice Chammah, journalist and author of Let the Lord Sort Them: The Rise and Fall of the Death Penalty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Nathan Goetting’s book takes the wrongful conviction literature into a needed direction. Most work on wrongful convictions focuses on understanding why, at the trial court level, such injustices occur. Goetting’s book adds a new layer and argues that wrongful convictions are a natural part of the entire criminal justice apparatus. Supreme Court decisions have created an environment where judges and practitioners know of, and have accepted as necessary, the reality of wrongful convictions as a natural consequence of keeping a system in place that prioritizes efficient case processing and finality of decisions over substantive justice. Wrongful convictions are more than just errors that occur during the investigative and litigative processes - they are a structural reality. Every undergraduate and law student should read this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Matthew Greife, JD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Purdue University Northwest\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ethics Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44866806054954,"sku":"nfe1789711259123","price":32.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44866806087722,"sku":"sxj1789711259124","price":76.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":44866806120490,"sku":"wcp1789711259125","price":29.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/0709\/8154\/files\/the-supreme-courts-actual-innocence-problem-how-the-supreme-court-of-the-united-_1.jpg?v=1789711267","url":"https:\/\/layerreadywear.shop\/products\/the-supreme-courts-actual-innocence-problem-how-the-supreme-court-of-the-united-states-has-failed-to","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
