Ordinary Injustice : How America Holds Court

  • Ordinary Injustice : How America Holds Court

  • Attribution

    Amy Bach

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Metropolitan Books, 2009

  • Description

    From an award-winning lawyer-reporter, a radically new explanation for America?s failing justice system The stories of grave injustice are all too familiar: the lawyer who sleeps through a trial, the false confessions, the convictions of the innocent. Going beyond the usual explanations of bad apples and meager funding, Bach identifies an assembly-line approach that rewards shoddiness and sacrifices defendants to keep the court calendar moving, and she exposes the collusion between judge, prosecutor, and defense that puts the interests of the system above the obligation to the people.
