A book that will make you think, An Innocent Man demonstrates the fallibility of justice and the consequences of living a life outside the bounds of morality. While the book demonstrates the overwhelming burden people face when someone in their family is a mentally disabled, the true message the book sends is the lack of integrity and honesty we have in our society. There is a big moral debate over the use of the death penalty and its effectiveness in deterring violent crime. The question this story did not answer was how we achieve pure justice, security, and safety when those who are suppose to be the role models of integrity are willing to break all the rules to close a case. There are not enough jails and tax dollars in the world to house all the evil we face everyday; and a lot of the evil in the world cannot be stopped regardless of the deterrents we use to stop it!
