In May 1982, with a tarnished image and few leads in their case, the Vancouver Police Department made an arrest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIvan Henry was an ex-convict still adjusting to civilian life when he was detained on a break-and-enter charge. A short time later, he found himself on trial for ten charges of sexual assault—crimes he vehemently denied committing. Making the misguided decision to forego legal representation and defend himself, Henry sealed his own fate. Declared a dangerous offender in November 1983, Henry spent twenty-seven years in prison before being acquitted in 2010 on the basis of unreliable evidence. To this day, he has not been compensated or publicly exonerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor and arbitration lawyer Joan McEwen has spent three years interviewing Ivan Henry, investigating his case, and helping him seek compensation for his hellish life behind bars. This is a powerful story of justice miscarried and one man's determined quest to win restitution for the wrongly convicted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInnocence on Trial\u003c\/em\u003e by Joan McEwen is a compelling account of one man's fight for justice and an incisive look into the flaws of the legal system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072569852140,"sku":"9781772030020","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25343983482818.jpg?v=1765117891","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/innocence-on-trial-by-joan-mcewen-9781772030020","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
