Horovitz tells how the two men maintained their innocence for years and petitioned the state to reconsider the case. He highlights the creation of Florida's first Conviction Integrity Review Unit, which reinvestigated the evidence and helped overturn the original verdict. He also looks at the issue of compensating exonerees like Myers and Williams for time imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncorporating the perspectives of those involved in the initial case and its reexamination four decades later, this tragic story is also one of hope, perseverance, and vindication. Justice Pursued brings awareness to systemic failures in the criminal justice system, the toll these mistakes exact on victims, and the necessity of prosecutorial review in addressing the growing crisis of wrongful convictions in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559268806936,"sku":"9780813080321","price":17.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/justice-pursued-the-exoneration-of-nathan-myers-and-clifford-williams-paperback-softback-9780813080321","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
