THE INNOCENT KILLER: A TRUE STORY OF A WRONGFUL CONVICTION AND ITS ASTONISHING AFTERMATH
Book ID/图书代码： 12580016B87835
English Summary/英文概要： A book following the case that inspired the hit Netflix documentary Making a Murderer.
This is not just another wrongful conviction book. THE INNOCENT KILLER begins with a brutal assault on a remote stretch of beach on the Lake Michigan shoreline and ends twenty years later with a history-making verdict. It tells the story of one of the nation’s most notorious wrongful convictions, that of Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who spent eighteen years in prison for a crime he did not commit.
In addition to being a fascinating true crime story, it’s also a chilling example of what can happen when those responsible for administering justice lose sight of their calling and a stark reminder of the unintended consequences that can flow from a single wrong.
Police and prosecutors were forced to make decisions in this case that tested their moral fiber. Their failure to make the right ones ruined the already troubled life of one man and tragically wreaked havoc on the lives of additional victims and their families. But the most singular feature of THE INNOCENT KILLER lies in what occurred after Mr. Avery’s wrongful conviction...
Two years after he was exonerated of that crime and poised to reap millions in his wrongful conviction lawsuit, Steven Avery was arrested for the exceptionally brutal murder of Teresa Halbach, a freelance photographer who had gone missing several days earlier. The "Innocent Man" had turned into a cold blooded killer. Or had he? This is narrative non-fiction at its finest. THE INNOCENT KILLER is a page-turning true crime thriller.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书中的案例正是Netflix电视台收视率极高的纪录片Making a Murderer的原型。
本书不仅关于一次错误的定罪。本书的开头讲述了密歇根湖偏远的岸边发生的一件残忍的袭击，二十年后才终于有了一个历史性的判决。但这其实是一次错判。Steven Avery，一个来自威斯康星州的男子为了一件自己没有犯过的罪行在监狱里呆了18年。
这是一个引人入胜的、真实的犯罪故事，这也是一个令人不寒而栗的例子——当那些承担管理责任的人忘记了自己的使命，一个小小的错误可能导致多么意想不到的后果。
警方和检方承受着良心的折磨被迫做出了决定，但他们的决定是错误的。而这个错误的决定毁了一个原本生活就不怎么顺遂的男人，更将悲剧蔓延到更多受害者和他们的家属身上。但本书最特别的地方在于，Avery被错误定罪之后，他究竟经历了些什么。
他被免除了，犯罪两年后有望获得数百万在他的错误定罪的诉讼，史蒂芬艾利涉嫌邓丽君哈尔巴赫，自由摄影师谁曾失踪了几天前的格外残忍杀害。在“无辜的人”已经变成一个冷血杀手。还是他？这是叙事非小说在其最好的。无辜的凶手是翻页真正的犯罪惊悚片。
翻案两年之后，Steven Avery即将因为之前的错误定罪获赔百万美元。但就在这时，他因残忍谋杀一个几天前被报失踪的自由摄影师Teresa Halbach而再次被捕。原本无辜的男人真的变成了一个杀人凶手，亦或者他又被错怪了？本书是一本记述体的纪实文学，也是同类之中的佼佼者。(LYR)

THE INNOCENT KILLER is the Winner of the True Crime Book Reviews Editor’s Choice Award.
"An instant true-crime classic ... This shocking true story will be talked about, and argued about, for decades to come." (Burl Barer, Edgar Award-winning true crime author)
"A shocking example of what can happen when our justice system fails ... Griesbach’s unflinching page-turner brings us closer to the truth." (Barry Scheck, Co-founder of the National Innocence Project)
"Destined to be one of this year’s top true crime books." (Kimberley Cantrell True Crime Book Reviews)
"The Innocent Killer is about tragedy, but it’s also about hope. I survived my own personal nightmare when I was assaulted on the beach that day only to learn years later that I unwittingly played a starring role in someone else’s ... We can’t unring the bell of an injustice; we can’t right the wrong. But we must joust with humility and learn from our mistakes ― because to do anything less would be unforgivable." (Penny Beerntsen, crime survivor and restorative justice spokeswoman)
About the Author/作者介绍： 当本书中记录的案件发生的时候，Michael Griesbach是威斯康星州的一名检察官。他写了这本书作为对整个系统的挑战，想要了解我们是否仍旧对美国法律体系中“宁可错放一百，不可错抓一人”的原则充满信心。Griesbach希望能让读者更好地了解刑事司法系统的内部运作，也更关心那些生活在它影响之下的人们。
Michael Griesbach is a prosecuting attorney in the Wisconsin county where the events recounted in this book occurred. He wrote THE INNOCENT KILLER to challenge the system, to find out if we still believe in the long-cherished principle of American jurisprudence: “It’s better to let one hundred guilty persons go free than it is to convict one who is innocent.” Griesbach hopes to leave readers better informed about the inner workings of the criminal justice system and more concerned about those whose lives it deeply affects.
