About this book

This is a meticulously researched and riveting true crime account of Clevon Jamel Jenkins, a black teenager from New York City who, in September of 1995, was wrongfully convicted of robbery and malice murder by a Georgia jury and sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole. For more than seven years, Robert Michael Kelly -- a former New York City prosecutor and experienced trial lawyer -- fought to overturn this conviction, arguing that Jenkins did not receive a fair trial.

Despite Mr.

Kelly's diligent efforts in multiple courts, Jenkins remains incarcerated in Georgia today.

This is far more than a typical true crime story.

It is a powerful and compelling invitation for readers to step into the jury room and decide for themselves whether Jenkins received a fair trial, whether he was proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and whether his conviction should be overturned now due to numerous legal errors and constitutional violations that occurred during his trial
