False Conviction
© 2014 Touch Press
From New York Times journalist Jim Dwyer comes False Conviction: a collection of gruesome true stories about innocent people convicted for crimes they did not commit. The crimes are explored in great detail. This is not a title for children. Using Touch Press interactive strategies, this "multi-media" ibook (not an app) mixes recordings, original documents and interactive activities so that you can learn how evidence is collected, or contaminated. Created by the The Innocence Project and The New York Hall of Science.
