For 47 members of the Duke University men’s Lacrosse team, March 13, 2006
became their personal Day of Infamy. Pulitzer nominated reporter, Stuart Taylor,
Jr., and legal expert K.C. Johnson, lay out the myriad facts and lies in an
egregious betrayal of the American legal system in this comprehensive book.
John Grisham, New York Times bestselling author says, “Until Proven Innocent is
a masterful examination of the pathetic rush to judgment of the Duke rape case.
Brutally honest, unflinching, exhaustively researched, and compulsively readable,
the book excoriates those who led the stampede---the prosecutor, the cops, the
media---but it also exposes the cowardice of Duke’s administration and faculty.
(This book) smothers any lingering doubts that in this country the presumption of
innocence is dead, dead, dead.”
Until Proven Innocent is a chilling, gripping account of how our judicial system
can go terribly wrong.
