Five years behind bars for defending his own life. The evidence proved his innocence on at least two charges - yet the system kept him caged. In Surviving Chilean Justice, Dr. John M. Cobin, economist and Baptist pastor, refuses to write a simple victim's memoir. Instead he applies public-choice economics to the prosecutors, judges, and officials who chose incentives over truth, exposing why justice systems persecute the innocent and how a man endures when the state turns against him.
Equal parts testimony and analysis, this is the story they did not want examined.
