Потрясающая книга, только первый тираж которой составил 2 500 000 экземпляров! Казалось бы, о таком писали не раз. Признание, выбитое на допросе... Приговор, состряпанный прокурором вместе с судьёй... Неожиданно всплывшие доказательства невиновности осуждённого... А дальше? Бумаги задерживаются. Двери кабинетов запираются. Чиновники, от которых зависит - жить или умереть осуждённому, беззаботно уезжают на пикники. Стрелки же неумолимо отмеряют не часы, а минуты до казни! Кто остановит безжалостную и равнодушную судебную машину, готовую раздавить "маленького" человека?

For every innocent man sent to prison, there is a guilty one left on the outside. He doesn’t understand how the police and prosecutors got the wrong man, and he certainly doesn’t care. He just can’t believe his good luck. Time passes and he realizes that the mistake will not be corrected: the authorities believe in their case and are determined to get a conviction. He may even watch the trial of the person wrongly accused of his crime. He is relieved when the verdict is guilty. He laughs when the police and prosecutors congratulate themselves. He is content to allow an innocent person to go to prison, to serve hard time, even to be…
