描述
“A shocking tale of wrongful conviction . . . that brings general conditions into cruelly sharp focus.” — Kirkus Reviews
Justice Failed is the story of Alton Logan, an African American man who served twenty–six years in prison for a murder he did not commit. In 1983, Logan was falsely convicted of fatally shooting an off–duty Cook County corrections officer, Lloyd M. Wickliffe, at a Chicago–area McDonald’s, and sentenced to life in prison. While serving time for unrelated charges, Andrew Wilson—the true murderer—admitted his guilt to his own lawyers, Dale Coventry and Jamie Kunz. However, bound by the legal code of ethics known as the absolutism of client–attorney privilege, Coventry and Kunz could not take action. Instead, they signed an affidavit proclaiming Logan’s innocence and locked the document in a hidden strong box. It wasn’t until after Wilson’s death in 2007 that his lawyers were able to come forward with the evidence that would eventually set Alton Logan free after twenty–six years in prison.
Written in collaboration with veteran journalist Berl Falbaum, Justice Failed explores the sharp divide that exists between commonsense morality—an innocent man should be free—and the rigid ethics of the law that superseded that morality. Throughout the book, in–depth interviews and legal analyses give way to Alton Logan himself as he tells his own story, from his childhood in Chicago to the devastating impact that the loss of a quarter century has had on his life—he entered prison at twenty–eight years of age, and was released at fifty–five.

Having no choice but to protect their own clientthe true murdererlawyers who could prove Alton Logans innocence kept silent for over two decades.
Justice Failed is the story of Alton Logan, an African-American man who served twenty-six years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Shamefully, such false imprisonment isnt uncommon in America, but what makes this case extraordinary is that his innocence was made known to the attorneys of the true murderer within one month of Logans imprisonment.
Written in collaboration with veteran journalist Berl Falbaum, Justice Failed explores the sharp divide that exists between common sense moralityan innocent man should be freeand the rigid ethics of the law which superseded that morality. The actual murderer admitted his guilt to his lawyers, but they, bound by the absolutism of client-attorney privilege, did not take action to free an innocent man. According to ethic codes, they could not. Instead, they signed an affidavit proclaiming Alton Logans innocence, and in a move that belongs in a thriller, one of them locked the document in a strong box and kept it beneath his bed, in case they were someday able to assist Logan. It wasnt until after the true murderers death in 2007 that the lawyers came forward with the information that eventually set Logan free.
Throughout, interviews and probing legal exploration give way to Alton Logan himself as he tells his own story; from his childhood in Chicago to the strength required to maintain his innocence while incarcerated, to the devastating impact that the loss of a quarter century has had on his lifehe entered prison at 28 years of age, and was released at 55. His story is painful and infuriating, but Justice Failed is not meant to shock, nor is it a plea for pity. Logan and Falbaum lay out the facts, and answer the question How could this happen? Very easily, it seems. Through telling his story, Alton Logan and Berl Falbaum seek to change that.

Réédition. Petit album au cours duquel on énumère différents types de bisous en les comparant à ceux que donnent, successivement, 18 animaux. Il y a le bisou girafe qui est très long, le bisou chat qui fait ronronner, le bisou chien qui est tout mouillé, le bisou ours qui est plus grognon, celui du pinson est gai comme une chanson, celui du crapaud cache toujours un prince très beau, etc. Chaque animal est illustré très simplement sur fond blanc, en compagnie de l'embrassé et parfois, d'autres petites bêtes. [SDM]

Les compositions de ce bestiaire réaliste aux couleurs fantaisistes, accompagnées des gestes qui stimuleront l'attention du lecteur, convient l'enfant à faire des associations d'idées poétiques et amusantes. On l'invite d'ailleurs, à son tour, à la fin de ce cortège de baisers, à offrir un bisou au narrateur. [SDM]
