It was a case of mistaken identity, and Hinton believed that the truth would prove his innocence. Sentenced to death by electrocution, he spent his first three years at Holman State Prison full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death.He resolved to find a way to live on Death Row., and for the next twenty-seven years he transformed not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates. After winning his release in 2015, Hinton shows how you can take away a man's freedom, but you can't take away his imagination, humor, or joy.

In 1987, a young Black man in Dallas named Ben Spencer was found guilty of killing a white businessman. From the day of his arrest, Spencer proclaimed his innocence and insisted it was "an awful mistake." The Texas legal system didn't see it that way. It allowed shoddy police work, paid witnesses, and prosecutorial misconduct to convict Spencer, and it ignored later efforts to correct this error. More than thirty years later, independent investigators, new testimony, and a new district attorney convinced a Texas judge to release Spencer from prison. As Spencer's fight for exoneration makes clear, the US legal system is broken. Expedience is more important than the truth. Yet the idea is starting to shift, as states work to reduce wrongful convictions, with Texas leading the way. In Bringing Ben Home, Barbara Bradley Hagerty threads together two powerful narratives: the story of an innocent Black man trapped in a system that refused to admit to its mistakes; and the rise of the innocence movement, which has prompted Texas and other states to work to undo wrongful convictions and hold their legal systems to higher standards. By turns fascinating and enraging, this is the chronicle of an innocent man who refused to admit that he was guilty of murder and how his plight helped shift the ways the US legal system deals with questions about innocence. It's both a deeply human tale and a compelling account of what we are doing-or failing to do-to better protect innocent people like Ben Spencer."--

- Nothing to fear : Alfred Hitchcock and the wrong men / by Isralowitz, Jason,author.(CARDINAL)868741;
- Includes bibliographical references (pages 210-247) and index.Prisoner 95111 -- "Life Is a Dangerous Thing" -- Phil the Ghost -- The Key to Freedom -- Guilt by Association -- The "Insoluble" Problem -- When the Music Stopped -- Trial -- Stricken Again: The Fight for Compensation -- "My Basic Fears" -- Nothing but the Truth -- "I Don't Dare Look" -- "Just a Routine Matter" -- Prosecutorial Oversight -- A Spiraling Trauma -- Who Will Listen? -- "OK, Manny?" -- "The DNA of Its Time".Alfred Hitchcock is not often associated with a social justice movement. But in 1956, he focused his lens on an issue that cuts to the heart of our criminal justice system: the risk of wrongful conviction. The result was The wrong man, a drama based on the real-life arrest of Queens musician Christopher "Manny" Balestrero for two robberies he did not commit. With documentary-like authenticity, Hitchcock and his team re-created Manny's journey through the corridors of justice and the devastating effect of the arrest on his wife, Rose. In so doing, the director cast a damning light on New York's history of mistaken identity cases. The Balestreros fell victim to the same rush to judgment and suggestive eyewitness identification procedures that had doomed innocent defendants in earlier cases. Their ordeal is part of a larger story of the state's failure to reckon with its role in other wrongful prosecutions in the first half of the twentieth century. Attorney Jason Isralowitz tells this story in a book that situates both the Balestrero case and its cinematic counterpart in their historical context. He delivers an account of Manny's trial and new insights into an errant prosecution. He then examines how Hitchcock fused visual motifs with social realism to create a timeless work of art. The film bears witness to issues that animate the contemporary innocence movement, including the unreliability of eyewitness testimony, the need for police lineup reforms, and the dangers of investigative "tunnel vision."
