An innocent man is about to be executed.
Only a guilty man can save him.
For every innocent man sent to prison, there is a guilty one left on the outside. He doesn’t understand how the police and prosecutors got the wrong man, and he certainly doesn’t care. He just can’t believe his good luck. Time passes and he realizes that the mistake will not be corrected: the authorities believe in their case and are determined to get a conviction. He may even watch the trial of the person wrongly accused of his crime. He is relieved when the verdict is guilty. He laughs when the police and prosecutors congratulate themselves. He is content to allow an innocent person to go to prison, to serve hard time, even to be executed.
Travis Boyette is such a man. In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row.
Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime; Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what’s right and confess.
But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man?
五味雜陳,一個本可避免的悲劇。死刑的確值得商榷,逝去的生命無法扭轉,誰能保證執行的是有罪之人?一個屈打成招的口供,一次次被司法係統背書的同意,難得有律師願意耗費金錢時間為此抗爭,也難得能在真相浮齣水麵後正義得到伸張、惡棍罪有應得。美中不足是,若不牽扯種族之爭這個傳統話題,書中事件估計無法如此轟動復雜,但也許更能具有震撼力。無論是Drumm、Robbie還是Keith,總算有瞭安穩的結局,在天朝,這些都是奢望。

不是真实,胜似真实:评介小说《坦白》 廖康 德州,一个名叫但丁的黑人橄榄球队员被诬告强奸并杀害了一个白人啦啦队美女妮珂。他坐了九年冤狱,马上就要被处以死刑。此时,真凶在密苏里州向牧师坦白,声称自己患有脑瘤,去日无多,愿意自首,挽救一条无辜的性命。但真凶是...
評分但是这本书在书店翻了几页就吸引住了我,回头就买了kindle版。文字朴实,虽是那种不掉书袋的plain English但仍很抓人。 这是关于一个有与其身份相符的道德感的神职人员、一个作恶一辈子但人之将死却良心发现的坏蛋、一个理想主义的法律界斗士的故事。
評分不像我所期待的那种拍案与惊奇。 一开始就知道了虽是真凶。读者要做只是等待,等待他慢慢悠悠的confess. 每个人物都没有足够深度的挖掘与描写,读完之后只有一丝遗憾,说不上特别喜欢谁,也没有特别的憎恨谁。 Kicking time book.
