Description

Has the American criminal justice system abandoned its duty to protect the innocent? ""The Supreme Court on Trial"" calls upon an impressive range of historical, empirical, and documentary evidence to conclude that our criminal justice system has done just that.

Criminal justice expert George Thomas argues that the courts' efforts to protect privacy and autonomy result in thousands of wrongful convictions every year.

His concluding chapters suggest a radically revised criminal procedure doctrine (based on the French inquisitorial model) that he feels will protect the presumption of innocence upon which any just society depends.
