Acerca de esta escucha

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In John Grisham’s first work of nonfiction since The Innocent Man, “the master of the legal thriller” (Associated Press) teams up with Jim McCloskey, “the godfather of the innocence movement” (Texas Monthly), to share ten harrowing true stories of wrongful convictions.

“Each of these stories is told with astonishing power. They are packed with human drama, with acts of shocking villainy and breathtaking courage. But these are more than just gripping true stories—they are a clarion call for reforming the tragic flaws in our criminal justice system.”—David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon

John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system.

A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse.

Impeccably researched and told with binge-worthy suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you.

* This audiobook edition is accompanied by a downloadable PDF which includes A Note on Sources and Acknowledgments from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The flaws and lethal errors that condemn innocent people in the American legal system have caused too many for too long to needlessly suffer. Jim McCloskey and John Grisham are towering figures in law and literature shining an urgent, compelling, and critically important light on the heartbreaking wrongful convictions that compromise our legal system and remain a national tragedy.”—Bryan Stevenson, New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy

Framed should come with a warning label: Be prepared never to look at the justice system the same way again. In this collection of ten shocking wrongful-conviction cases, each stranger than fiction, you’ll come away outraged by how easily so many prosecutions can and do run off the rails: investigative tunnel vision, coached witnesses, compromised jailhouse snitches, junk science, cultural bias, crooked prosecutors, and even biased judges. How grateful we all should be to John Grisham and Jim McCloskey—for raising the alarm and crusading for true justice.”—Robert Kolker, New York Times bestselling author of Hidden Valley Road

“In this essential collaboration, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey vividly demonstrate the need to run just as fast, if not faster, to exonerate the innocent as to punish the guilty. In ten shocking true stories, they not only convey the devastating impact of wrongful convictions on each affected person but also sound the alarm for all of us—there but for the grace of God, go I. These are remarkable stories of injustice that need to be told. And retold.”—Preet Bharara, former U.S. Attorney and New York Times bestselling author of Doing Justice

The "Framed" presented 10 well written synopsis of men that were wrongfully convicted. It is acarry to think of such corrupt police departments and prosocuters in this day and age. I give cudos to the innocence project and all the men and women who donate their time to help get wrongfully convicted people out of jail.

Excellent - Scarry

Thank you to Jim McCloskey and John Grisham to bringing to light the innocent project. The long persistent fight to prove innocence. Gathering evidence overlooked and discarded documents to set the convicted free is commendable. Despicable how corrupt some in law enforcement are. Thank you again for setting some free.

Truly Innocent

Each story is so well portrayed all true and gripping to realize innocent people being railroaded because of someone’s career obsessions. The scales of justice were wrongly tipped too often and unfortunately this is likely going on today in many jurisdictions. Highly recommended this awesome read!

Great Stories Well Written and Superb Narration

I enjoyed listening to the short stories and then picking back up with another one a few days later. Very convicting stories that will leave you questioning every small town law enforcement conviction.

Great short listens in a book

While the cases were so very sad and disturbing, the storylines and narrations were superb!

Great story telling!

The Ameican criminal justice system is not perfect, and some people get it wrong, but this book painfully illustrates the deeply rooted corruption that many find impossible to believe. It disgusts me that those in positions of power and control would rather save face, than save a life. Framed gives life to an issue that may only be known by those affected and those fighting so desperately to save their lives. Thank you to the authors for raising awareness - it can happen to anyone!

Beyond an imperfect system

Well researched, well structured, and well written, this book evokes all sorts of emotions. Although upsetting in a variety of ways, it is an important collection of cases that illuminates serious and systemic corruption, bias, and downright stupidity in certain areas of the criminal justice system.

Powerful & Infuriating

perfection telling stories of the most unbelievable cases! a very sad and eye-opening events that not a lot of people know or care to know about.

the facts in each case were laid out to perfection, and easy to follow

Each case was explained well by the authors. The cases and evidence clearly showed the conviction were a miscarriage of justice, leaving me with an emphatic feeling of helplessness, hopelessness, and anger.
I find it appalling that the prosecutors and judges in these cases were more interested in protecting themselves than actually justice. One of the most appalling was the retrieval and destruction of a hair that was found on a victim that would most likely have exonerated the wrongfully convicted.
The only thing I would leave out would be that many of these cases had the same pattern. Although necessary to tell the individual stories. Maybe other cases could have been selected with different patterns that led to the wrongful convictions and the continuation of the miscarriage of justice once the innocence became obvious.
However one pattern should be a lesson for all. If ever asked to come to the station to answer questions, never go without a lawyer. By the last few stories when I heard that the wrongfully convicted had entered the station without a lawyer, I wanted to scream noooooo!
An interesting follow-up or epilogue would be lessons learned from these stories to remain innocent.

Each case was well written and intriguing.

sad how corrupt our justice system can be and how many people are in prison that are innocent.
