Twenty-one innocent people. Framed tells ten stories with a truth more shocking than fiction.

All the cases in this book are simply extraordinary. And all are true.Joe Bryan suffered the unbearable tragedy of his wifes murder, only to be tried and found guilty of the crime himself - despite being 120 miles away at the time it was committed. Clarence Brandley spent nine years on Death Row, coming to within six days of execution, before new evidence cleared him of all charges. And in the case of the Norfolk Four, police and prosecutors continued to arrest innocent people until not one but four men were behind bars.

Most importantly, they show how truth can prevail and how freedom can be won when all seems lost.Each of these stories is told with astonishing power.
