NEW RESOURCE: “Chasing Justice” Chronicles Experiences of Former Death Row Inmate

Former Texas death row inmate Kerry Max Cook has authored a book detailing his wrongful conviction and his 22-year fight for freedom. Cook’s book, “Chasing Justice,” provides a first-hand account of his trial, his two-decade stay on death row in Texas, and his release after DNA evidence linked another man to the crime for which he was sentenced to die. Publisher HarperCollins notes that the book is “a shocking look inside death row, a legal thriller, and an inspirational story of one man’s ultimately triumphant fight against extreme adversity.” They add that the true story will “forever unsettle our view of the American justice system.” Cook is scheduled to make a series of appearances across the country to discuss the book and the issue of innocence.
