The Wrong Carlos: Anatomy of a Wrongful Execution - Thryft
The Wrong Carlos: Anatomy of a Wrongful Execution - Thryft

Innocence lost to flawed justice system.

If you've ever pondered the grim reality of wrongful convictions, "The Wrong Carlos" is a startling deep-dive into such a nightmare. The meticulous research by the Columbia Law team unravels the chilling story of Carlos DeLuna, creating a compelling narrative that’s as much about the failings of the criminal justice system as it is about DeLuna himself. Engrossing and unsettling, it’s a poignant reminder of the human cost of judicial errors and a call to reform.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

This book documents the flawed criminal case that led to his wrongful conviction, shedding light on issues such as faulty eyewitness testimony and prosecutorial misfeasance. The investigation conducted by a team from Columbia Law School uncovered shocking details about the case, revealing a tragic miscarriage of justice. The book provides a comprehensive look into the flaws of the criminal justice system that put innocent individuals at risk of execution. For more information, visit thewrongcarlos.net.
