Question Description
In "An Innocent Man" by John Grisham, the author recounts a murder investigation and prosecution in Oklahoma – and the steps and missteps by prosecutors and police.
Read the book with an eye toward the duty of criminal justice professionals to "do justice"….to use the tools and powers they have carefully and professionally because of the tremendous things at stake.
For your paper:
Research online and think about other cases that are similar to the one in the book – ones that have had wide media reporting (hints: The work of "The Innocence Project"; the Duke University Lacrosse players sexual assault case; Texas prosecutor misconduct cases; Brady v. Maryland; others).
Make sure you briefly summarize the book's key points, focusing on the portions that relate to the concepts outlined above. Then apply the case in the book to others you reviewed, and compare and contrast them.
Finally, make sure you provide your own conclusions about how we ensure that we maintain the highest professional integrity of the profession, and the oaths taken by police and prosecutors, to use legal tools – and the law – the way they were intended.
Your paper should be:
- 5 to 6 typewritten pages, excluding the title page and references/citations end pages(s)
- Double spaced and 12 point font, using APA style (but don't use an "Abstract" page and paragraph APA requires)
- No fewer than 3 sources (not including An Innocent man – 3 plus An Innocent Man). You may use our textbook as a source (in fact, its encouraged). More sources are better than the minimum!
- Spelling and good writing count
- Again, make sure you briefly summarize the book plot, but mainly focus on your analysis of investigative steps and ethics – topics from our class time, outside research, and text
