Blind Injustice: A Former Prosecutor Exposes the Psychology and Politics of Wrongful Convictions is about a man who used to be a prosecutor and has since turned into an activist for wrongful convictions. The book starts by describing how Mark Godsey became blind in his thirties, but he says that no one was more surprised than he was when the blindness led him to the realization that he had been wrong all along. Godsey details the psychology of prosecutors, law enforcement, defense attorneys, and both victim's families as well as perpetrators going through their respective processes of prosecution and defense. He notes how certain factors can lead innocent people to being wrongly convicted because of the way jurors react to what they see and hear on trial.

Blind Injustice, a book that tells the stories of 40 people who were wrongfully convicted and seven exonerated through DNA evidence, was written by Mark Godsey. As a prosecutor, he was frustrated with the system and had to recuse himself from many cases. After leaving his position as a prosecutor, he decided to write this book to give insight into what goes on behind the scenes of these cases.

Mark Godsey is a former prosecutor of wrongful convictions. He explains how the system works and what needs to be done to eliminate wrongful convictions from happening again. In this book, Godsey argues that the justice system disproportionately targets blacks and teaches them to distrust police officers, who are then more likely to wrongly convict an innocent person.
