Ghost of the Innocent Man
A True Story of Trial and Redemption
Benjamin Rachlin
This gripping true story follows Willie J. Grimes, an everyman wrongfully convicted of rape and sentenced to life imprisonment. Author Benjamin Rachlin details Grimes' quarter-century-long struggle for freedom, from botched evidence to the tireless efforts of his champion, Christine Mumma. Through Grimes' story, Rachlin sheds light on the shocking injustice of wrongful conviction in America and presents a hopeful model for reform. With "meticulous, prismatic research and pulse-quickening prose," Rachlin's Ghost of the Innocent Man is a must-read for those interested in criminal justice and human rights.
