Getting Life: An Innocent Man’s 25-Year Journey from Prison to Peace
304 pages; Simon & Schuster
"As the years passed, I watched the world go on without me through the keyhole of a door I could not unlock." Such is the life of Michael Morton, who served 25 years in the horrific Texas penal system for a murder he didn’t commit—the brutal beating of his wife, Chris, in 1986. Proven innocent with the advent of DNA testing, Michael Morton poignantly recounts half a lifetime spent behind bars and underscores the glaring errors of our justice system.
