David McCallum was exonerated and freed two months later, after serving twenty-nine years in prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of how Carter and his friend and coauthor Ken Klonsky worked for ten years to help free the wrongfully convicted McCallum, along with a group of committed friends and professionals. It details their struggles from founding an innocence project to take on the case, to finding lawyers willing to work pro bono, to hiring a private detective to sift through old evidence and locate original witnesses, and the most difficult part, convincing members of a deeply flawed criminal justice system to reopen a case that would expose their own mistakes when all they wanted to do was ignore the conflicting evidence. Finally it took a new district attorney, a documentary film, and an op-ed piece written by Carter on his death bed published in the New York\u003ci\u003e Daily News\u003c\/i\u003e that made a plea for McCallum¿s release and turned the tide of justice. \u003ci\u003eFreeing David McCallum\u003c\/i\u003e tells a tale of frustration, agony, and undying hope, and the miracle that resulted in David¿s release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098023641328,"sku":"2940169608540","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169608540_p0.jpg?v=1769897295","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169608540","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
