Police immediately arrested Edward Lee Elmore, a semiliterate, mentally retarded black man with no previous felony record. His only connection to the victim was having cleaned her gutters and windows, but barely ninety days after the victim's body was found, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eElmore had been on death row for eleven years when a young attorney named Diana Holt first learned of his case. With the exemplary moral commitment and tenacious investigation that have distinguished his reporting career, Bonner follows Holt's battle to save Elmore's life and shows us how his case is a textbook example of what can go wrong in the American justice system. Moving, enraging, suspenseful, and enlightening, \u003ci\u003eAnatomy of Injustice\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital contribution to our nation's ongoing, increasingly important debate about inequality and the death penalty.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaymond Bonner\u003c\/b\u003e practiced law for a decade and taught at the University of California, Davis, School of Law.
