Urban recounts how his life is changed when he is drawn into the field of wrongful convictions after \n\u003cbr\u003ereviewing a documentary about the case of Hobart grandmother, Sue Neill-\n\u003cbr\u003eFraser, convicted of murder - without evidence. As he probes further, he comes\n\u003cbr\u003eacross other cases and finds police investigations marred by tunnel vision; lawyers \n\u003cbr\u003eflouting the rule of law chasing convictions; courts admitting inadmissible (and \n\u003cbr\u003efalse) forensic evidence; the Crown withholding exculpatory evidence; and worst\n\u003cbr\u003eof all, prosecutors making up murder scenarios. Driven by disturbing discoveries over five years of research and writing -\n\u003cbr\u003ecovering five extraordinary cases: Sue Neill-Fraser, Gordon Wood, Henry Keogh, \n\u003cbr\u003eDavid Szach, and Gary Nye - Andrew interviews specialist legal academic Dr \n\u003cbr\u003eBob Moles and others as he charts the damning list of errors. Bringing together his writings and interviews on the subject as well as his correspondence with legal \n\u003cbr\u003eacademics and politicians, including Attorneys General, Andrew lists action points \n\u003cbr\u003ethat if implemented would help reduce the incidence of wrongful convictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR \n\u003cbr\u003eAndrew L.
