CONVICTION: True Stories of Wrongful Convictions, Overturned Decisions, and the Fight to Clear Their Name In 2016 alone, a grand total of 166 wrongly convicted people were declared innocent throughout the year. The most recent imprisonment of these people was made in 2010, and the farthest back was 1964. Including the 166 overturned convictions from 2016, a total of 2,000 wrongly convicted inmates have been awarded freedom since 1989 (the first year which records began). To the general public, it may seem like overturned convictions are few and far between, however, given the statistics, this isn't the case at all. It begs the question as to why most people will recognise the names of Amanda Knox, Meredith Kercher, Casey Anthony and the West Memphis Three, but may not be familiar with Kirk Bloodsworth, Thomas Kennedy or James Richardson. This book charts the true stories of a collection of the most notable wrongful convictions of all time, and the fight to clear their names, often after significant time served.
