Join us in-person at our Fort Greene store in welcoming The Innocence Project’s Chris Fabricant for the launch of his new book of nonfiction Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System, a meticulously researched insider’s perspective of the American criminal justice system. Forensic scientists have long been mythologized in American popular culture as infallible crime solvers, while juries put their faith in “expert witnesses” and innocent people have been executed as a result. Innocent people are still on death row today, condemned by junk science. Fabricant weaves together previously untold stories of wrongful executions, corrupt prosecutors, and quackery masquerading as science, taking readers on an “eye-opening, endlessly engaging, and equally infuriating” journey into the heart of a broken, racist American criminal justice system and the role junk science plays in maintaining the status quo (Booklist). Fabricant, the Innocence Project’s Director of Strategic Litigation, will be joined by Executive Director Christina Swarns for a live, in-person discussion and audience Q&A.

Recorded via Zoom on April 4, 2022.
