{"product_id":"bloodsworth-tim-junkin-9781565125148","title":"Bloodsworth: The True Story of One Man's Triumph over Injustice","description":"\u003cp\u003eCHARGED WITH THE RAPE AND MURDER of a nine-year-old girl in 1984, Kirk Bloodsworth was tried, convicted, and sentenced to die in Maryland's gas chamber. Maintaining his innocence, he read everything on criminal law available in the prison library and persuaded a new lawyer to petition for the then-innovative DNA testing. After nine years in one of the harshest prisons in America, Kirk Bloodsworth became the first death row inmate exonerated by DNA evidence. He was pardoned by the governor of Maryland and has gone on to become a tireless spokesman against capital punishment. Bloodsworth's story speaks for 159 others who were wrongly convicted and have since been released, and for the thousands still in prison waiting for DNA testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Junkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565125142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565125148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Algonquin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 6.28w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 53","brand":"Tim Junkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047330574591,"sku":"9781565125148","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cc3158c-d8fd-454d-a416-f2085a01f5a2.jpg?v=1684989589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bloodsworth-tim-junkin-9781565125148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
