Wrongful Death

After watching Twelve Angry Men and discussing our justice system, I want you to visit the web site for Northwestern University Law School and read about their work with death penalty cases. This site details actual cases which were overturned after law students conducted further research. It made me appreciate how realistic and believable the fiction we've been reading is. It also makes me wonder how many other such cases there might be. In Mockingbird, didn't Atticus say that the one place where all men are equal is a court of law? Do you agree?
