Haunted by what the detective had told him, Slepian began an investigation of the case that eventually resulted in freedom for the two men and launched Slepian on a two-decade personal and professional journey into a deeply flawed justice system fiercely resistant to rectifying—or even acknowledging—its mistakes and their consequences. \u003ci\u003eThe Sing Sing Files: One Journalist, Six Innocent Men, and a Twenty-Year Fight for Justice\u003c\/i\u003e is Slepian’s account of challenging that system. The story follows Slepian on years of prison visits, court hearings, and street reporting that led to a series of powerful Dateline episodes and eventually to freedom for four other men and to an especially deep and lasting friendship with one of them, Jon-Adrian \"JJ\" Velazquez. From his cell in Sing Sing, JJ aided Slepian in his investigations until his own release in 2021 after decades in prison. Like Bryan Stevenson’s \u003ci\u003eJust Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The Sing Sing Files\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply personal account of wrongful imprisonment and the flaws in our justice system, and a powerful argument for reckoning and accountability. Slepian’s extraordinary book, at once painful and full of hope, shines a light on an injustice whose impact the nation has only begun to confront.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46677289369758,"sku":"TLD-9781250897725","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781250897725.jpg?v=1775455020","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781250897725","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
