Uncovers flaws in the judicial system for disabled individuals

You will gain awareness and inspire change in your community

This insightful book examines the tragic case of Joe Arridy and highlights the treatment of individuals with disabilities in the justice system.

Beginning with the story of Joe Arridy, certified as a "feeble-minded imbecile" who was executed in Colorado in 1939, Deadly Innocence? traces political and judicial handling of incidents involving persons with retardation; describes similar current cases; and offers suggestions for action on the part of the police, the courts, professionals who work in the field of developmental disabilities, and concerned citizens.
