This book demonstrates that it is the inconsistent and often incoherent jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court which accounts for a system so lacking in public confidence. Kenneth Williams examines issues of jury selection, ineffective assistance of counsel, and the role of race and claims of innocence which affect the Court's decisions. It provides a unique understanding of the dynamics of an alarmingly problematic system and will be valuable to those interested in human rights and criminal justice.
