**　　德國聯邦最高法院法官估算： 　　德國的刑事判決很可能有四分之一是冤案！** 　　這就是比卡夫卡小說更荒謬的現實世界 　　有些人一覺醒來，世界就不一樣了。他們莫名成為嫌犯，卻走不出司法迷宮…… 　　銀幕上的警探總是精采破案，然而現實世界卻沒有這麼漂亮精準。負責伸張正義的檢警司法單位經常逸離自己應該嚴守的分寸，司法系統為防止出錯而設下的層層防護機制也總是不斷出現破洞，許多人因此無辜被絞進巨大的司法齒輪當中碾碎，再也無法回復。 　　德國是臺灣人心目中的法治先進國，人權意識也比臺灣更高，但即使在這樣的國家，誤判的冤案仍持續發生。德國聯邦最高法院的資深法官甚至推算，德國的刑事判決可能有高達四分之一是誤判！ 　　為什麼連德國也有這麼高的冤案比例呢？這本書舉出近幾年許多個不同類型的案子，講述它們匪夷所思的偵辦與審判過程，指出其中出現哪些關鍵錯誤，也訪問了法官與律師，以及受司法單位委託諮詢的外部鑑定人。從這樣的仔細檢視當中，可以看到冤案為何發生，或許也讓我們更加瞭解應該如何改善。 　　本書作者是德國《明鏡週刊》資深記者，擁有法學博士學位。他長期關心德國的人權法治狀況，這本書就是他對司法失誤問題的回應，也十分值得做為臺灣的參考。 名人推薦 　　導讀 　　薛智仁（臺灣大學法律學院助理教授） 　　推薦序 　　羅秉成（臺灣冤獄平反協會理事長） 　　吳東牧（PNN公視新聞議題中心製作人） 　　一本驚悚的寫實錄，說明了誤判是如何以及為何這麼常見。──《柏林日報》（Berliner...
