Awarded Digital Book World’s Best Book Published by a University
Press
In this unprecedented view from the trenches, prosecutor turned champion
for the innocent Mark Godsey takes us inside the frailties of the human mind
as they unfold in real-world wrongful convictions. Drawing upon stories
from his own career, Godsey shares how innate psychological flaws in
judges, police, lawyers, and juries coupled with a “tough on crime”
environment can cause investigations to go awry, leading to the convictions
of innocent people.
In Blind Injustice, Godsey explores distinct psychological human weaknesses
inherent in the criminal justice system—confirmation bias, memory
malleability, cognitive dissonance, bureaucratic denial, dehumanization, and
others—and illustrates each with stories from his time as a hard-nosed
prosecutor and then as an attorney for the Ohio Innocence Project.
He also lays bare the criminal justice system’s internal political
pressures. How does the fact that judges, sheriffs, and prosecutors are elected
officials influence how they view cases? How can defense attorneys support
clients when many are overworked and underpaid? And how do juries
overcome bias leading them to believe that police and expert witnesses know
more than they do about what evidence means?
This book sheds a harsh light on the unintentional yet routine injustices
committed by those charged with upholding justice. Yet in the end, Godsey
recommends structural, procedural, and attitudinal changes aimed at
restoring justice to the criminal justice system.
