Más información sobre el libro

Norman's life drastically changed after being unfairly represented by a public defender and tried by a prejudiced magistrate. Everything started after a job accident, when he almost lost a leg. He was accused of illegally dealing in real estate. He was given a lawyer, who he did not know was playing an act on him. He pled guilty, which was against his will, and was brought away from his family, his property, his job, and his community. He spent his life in a federal prison for twelve months for misdemeanor. Suffering from impending heart attack and other illnesses, he endured prison life and learned many things while locked up. But his desire to straighten things out of the injustice done to him enflamed more as he gathered pieces to prove his unlawful incarceration. Guilty: America's Conquest, by Norman Garrett, reveals the hidden flaws of the American government's criminal justice system.
