SCOTT TUROW’S REVERSIBLE ERRORS DEBUTED THIS WEEKEND



A tele­vi­sion mini-series based on the fic­tion nov­el Reversible Errors, a best-sell­ing book by award- win­ning author and cap­i­tal defense attor­ney Scott Turow, began on CBS on Sunday May 23, and will con­clude Tuesday May 25, 2004. In the film, a cor­po­rate lawyer is assigned to draft the final appeal of a poten­tial­ly inno­cent inmate whose exe­cu­tion is immi­nent. While Errors is not based upon an actu­al cap­i­tal case, the sto­ry address­es many of the issues that raise ques­tions about the accu­ra­cy and fair­ness of the death penal­ty, includ­ing false con­fes­sions, inno­cence, and race.
