Greg M. Smith teaches media studies at Carlow College in Pittsburgh, PA. He is coediting Passionate Views: Thinking About Film and Emotion.
&8220;A masterpiece of the genre. . . . Few other books about
wrongful conviction phenomenon have even attempted such a
combination of legal theory and details from real-life wrongful
conviction cases. . . . Gould's book has spawned a number of new
thoughts about wrongful convictions."
-"Legal Times",
"A thoughtful and disturbing account of his founding in 2003 of the
Innocence Commission for Virginia (ICVA) to investigate wrongful
convictions. . . . Written for the general public, Gould's book has
important lessons for attorneys and policymakers as well."
-"Library Journal",
"A welcome addition to the literature on the incarceration of
people who never committed the crime for which they were
charged."
-"Trial",
"Gould . . . has produced a book that will ensure that the lessons
from these wrongful convictions are available for study and, we
hope, remembered and used to enact needed reforms this book is a
valuable addition to what we are learning about wrongful
convictions."
-"The Kojo Nnamdi Show", WAMU-FM,
"The lessons learned in creating the ICVA are valuable to
policymakers, activists, and lawyers on both sides of the
docket."
-"Law and Politics Book Review",
