Michael Mello ; with a foreword by Mike Farrell

a true story of innocence on death row

"The Wrong Man is the dramatic story of Michael Mello's twenty-year fight to save "Crazy Joe" Spaziano, a member of a widely feared motorcycle gang, from execution for a murder he didn't commit. In a gripping personal account. Mello, a well-known author, activist, and legal commentator, describes the details of the case and the controversial extremes to which he was driven by it. Mello took the unconventional and risky step of involving the Miami Herald in his legal work; the newspaper eventually published an investigative piece that was instrumental in turning the tide of public opinion and bringing Spaziano's case to the attention of the national media."--book jacket
