Framed

ten stories of wrongful convictions by best-selling mystery thriller  author John Grisham and Princeton-based Jim McCloskey, “the godfather of the innocence movement”  

"Each of these stories is told with astonishing power. They are packed with human drama, with acts of shocking villainy and breathtaking courage. But these are more than just gripping true stories—they are a clarion call for reforming the tragic flaws in our criminal justice system.”—David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon

​
On July 5 of 1900
During a record breaking head wave, a fire breaks out at the Standard Oil Refinery at Constable Hook in Bayonne, the largest in the country. The blaze started when a lightning bolt passed through a house and ricocheted into the oil tank yard, exploding three storage tanks. The fire spreads rapidly over three days, battled by Bayonne firemen and Standard Oil employees, and becomes a tourist attraction as New Yorkers line the Hudson River to watch the blaze until it burns itself out after causing damage estimated at a billion dollars in today’s money.
On July 4 of 1776

New Jersey Provincial Congress approves first constitution as a new state, which grants right to vote to "all inhabitants...of full age, who are worth fifty pounds...," thus allowing the vote to women holding property in their own name.

​
