An Australian True Crime investigation of wrongful imprisonment by the bestselling author of The Kingpin and the Crooked Cop Nine wrongful imprisonments. Nine innocent men and women freed. Australia has a robust legal system. According to conventional wisdom, only the guilty end up behind bars. The reality is far more complex and, for First Nations Australians and other minorities in particular, the law can become a trap - one that has condemned completely innocent people to years, even decades, of wrongful imprisonment. Impeccably researched and compelling told, Falsely Convicted exposes shocking injustices in all their devastating detail. These cases reveal how fragile truth can be, how easily lives can be destroyed, and how freedom - when it arrives - often comes only after everything else has been lost. There's teacher Josephine Greensill, whose life was upended by allegations from two former students from three decades before. Henry Keogh, who discovered his fiancé e dead in the bath, only to be accused - and convicted - of her murder due to catastrophic forensic failures. And Gene Gibson, an 18-year-old Aboriginal man from one of Australia's remotest communities, convicted of a killing by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, hindered by language barriers and entrenched prejudice. In Falsely Convicted, Walkley Award-winning crime reporter and bestselling author Neil Mercer turns his investigative skills toward the most chilling crimes of all: the ones committed by the system itself.
