Nonfiction:

Guilty of Being Weird: the story of Guy Paul Moran by Cynthia Faryon -- At twenty-four, Guy Paul Morin still lived at home, drove his parents' car, kept bees in the backyard, and grew flowers to encourage the hives. In the small Ontario town where he lived, this meant Guy Paul stood out. So when the nine-year-old girl next door went missing, the police were convinced that Morin was responsible for the little girl's murder. It took ten years and the just-developed science of DNA testing to finally clear his name. Learn how the justice system not only failed to help an innocent young man, but conspired to convict him.

Sentenced to Life at Seventeen by Cynthia Faryon -- David Milgaard was a troubled kid, and he got into lots of trouble. Unfortunately, that made it easy for the Saskatoon police to brand him as a murderer. At seventeen, David Milgaard was arrested, jailed, and convicted for the rape and murder of a young nursing assistant, Gail Miller. He was sent to adult prison for life. Throughout his twenty-three years in prison, David maintained that he was innocent and refused to admit to the crime, even though it meant he was never granted parole. Finally, through the incredible determination of his mother and new lawyers who believed in him, David was released and proven not guilty.
