After two three-year-old girls were raped and murdered in rural Mississippi, law enforcement pursued and convicted two innocent men: Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks. Together they spent a combined thirty years in prison before finally being exonerated in 2008. Meanwhile, the real killer remained free.

he Cadaver King and the Country Dentist recounts the story of how
the criminal justice system allowed this to happen, and of how two men,
Dr. Steven Hayne and Dr. Michael West, built successful careers on the
back of that structure. For nearly two decades, Hayne, a medical
examiner, performed the vast majority of Mississippi's autopsies, while
his friend Dr. West, a local dentist, pitched himself as a forensic
jack-of-all-trades. Together they became the go-to experts for
prosecutors and helped put countless Mississippians in prison. But then
some of those convictions began to fall apart.
Here, Radley
Balko and Tucker Carrington tell the haunting story of how the courts
and Mississippi's death investigation system -- a relic of the Jim Crow
era -- failed to deliver justice for its citizens. The authors argue
that bad forensics, structural racism, and institutional failures are at
fault, raising sobering questions about our ability and willingness to
address these crucial issues.
