Join the Great North Innocence Project for a conversation about Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions by best-selling author John Grisham and Centurion Ministries founder Jim McCloskey.
Framed is an eye-opening deep dive into real cases of wrongful convictions and how they came about through flaws in the U.S. justice system. Grisham and McCloskey expose flawed investigations, prosecutorial misconduct, and the human cost of wrongful convictions, making it a powerful read for anyone committed to truth and justice.
At the Great North Innocence Project, education is a central tenet of our work.
This discussion invites supporters, advocates, and community members to come together to ask and answer, what are the systemic and human causes and consequences of wrongful convictions?
