Charlotte Speaking Engagements Lawyer

The most disturbing thing about this compelling, well-written, rage-inducing work is that we know it is but a small collection of such stories that stain our criminal justice system. Must read.

Rudolf’s book is a must read not just for lawyers but American society as a whole. His riveting stories bring to the forefront the abuses of power that permeate our system of justice. Likely to become a classic and should inspire lawyers and criminal justice advocates for decades.

This book is compelling reading for all criminal lawyers and any other person involved in the legal system. The author recounts numerous cases in which the defendant was imprisoned as a result of faulty evidence, prosecutorial malfeasance, police incompetence and junk science such as hair comparison, blood spatter evidence and other so called scientific forensic evidence. The miscarriages of justice recited in this book have resulted in millions of dollars in damages awarded to people improperly incarcerated. The shortcomings of the justice system recounted in this book cause one to question how many other hundreds or thousands of convicted defendants may be wrongfully incarcerated or executed. It is simply shocking to consider.

The storytelling in this book is rich in detail. Mr. Rudolf helps us understand injustice on an emotional level, rather than just an intellectual one. He painstakingly lays out case after case of miscarriages of justice and shows how even people with good intentions end up being villians in a dehumanizing process that robs innocent men and women of decades of life. Most of these stories take place in Mr. Rudolf’s home state of North Carolina. One is left to speculate about the magnitude of these systemic flaws nationwide. It’s time to take a hard look at our system’s failures, and American Injustice is the perfect vehicle for doing it.
