Fairstein's prosecutorial misconduct was responsible for the wrongful conviction of five boys in the central park jogger case. The five boys were exonerated 12 years later. A single adult (serving time for unrelated crimes) contributed the DNA found both on the victim and on her clothing. The publicity surrounding the conviction launched Farstein's career. She never appologized for her misconduct.
I love Lindas books - have read them all, and Google all the places she writes about while reading, so each one takes like forever. Well worth while. great fun and educational too!
