New Novel by Author Denise Turney Focuses on Protecting the Innocent
PHILADELPHIA, PA - Nov. 18, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Today Chistell
Publishing (www.chistell.com) announced its new rousing "crime and
justice" novel, Spiral by Denise Turney. Spiral reveals hidden flaws
and biases found in America's criminal justice system. The book focuses
on a string of crimes that lead to a wrongful conviction, a subject the
United States as a nation address in the modified Innocence Protection
Act introduced on October 1, 2003.
"I want people to see that a rush to judgment increases the likelihood
for false convictions. Just because the DA, media, even eyewitnesses
shout 'Guilty!' does not mean a person is indeed guilty. In fact, a
large number of wrongful convictions are due to inaccurate eyewitness
testimonies," states Spiral's author, Denise Turney, a writer with 30
years of experience to her credit.
Spiral opens with a kidnapping which later turns into a murder. It is
years before anyone is convicted. Choices a father makes after
witnessing what he thinks is the disposal of a young girl's body return
to haunt a prominent family. Set in the 1940s, Spiral revisits a time
in America's history when religion and secret jealousy carried enough
weight to destroy an entire town. Spiral exposes the many ways wrongful
convictions interrupt the future of not only the accused but also their
entire family.
The author passionately exclaims, "We must focus on the
fact that annually thousands of innocent people serve time in prison.
We cannot turn away from this."
