Just finished 'Framed' and wow – this book hits like a ton of bricks. It's not your typical Grisham legal thriller; these are REAL stories of innocent people trapped in a broken system.

The most shocking part? How easily prosecutors twist facts to fit their narrative. One case involved a man who spent 16 years in prison because cops ignored obvious evidence pointing to someone else. Made me physically angry while reading!

What I loved: The writing keeps you hooked even when the subject matter gets heavy. Each story reads like its own mini documentary – complete with shady cops, lazy judges, and heartbreaking consequences.

Fair warning though: This isn't bedtime reading material. Had to take breaks between chapters because the injustice gets overwhelming. That local Texas case especially? Still thinking about it days later.

Perfect for: True crime fans who want substance beyond sensationalism, or anyone interested in criminal justice reform. Just don't expect to feel good afterwards – this book exists to make you uncomfortable (in the best way possible).
