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 June 17 of 1885
The dismantled Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of America, arrives in New York Harbor after being shipped across the Atlantic Ocean in 350 individual pieces packed in more than 200 cases. The copper and iron statue, which was reassembled and dedicated on October 28, 1886, by President Grover Cleveland, who said in part, “We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected.” 

​On June 16 of 1870
The first boardwalk in Atlantic City is dedicated, built at a cost of $5,000 in 12-foot wide sections one mile long. It is built to reduce tracking of sand into hotel lobbies and railroad cars.
​

​On June 15 of 1992
Vice President Dan Quayle, during a visit to the  Rivera Elementary School in Trenton, oversees a spelling bee in which a 12-year-old was called on to spell “potato.” When the student correctly spelled the word, Quayle urged the student to add an "e" at the word's end so it was incorrectly spelled "potatoe". The incident subjected Quayle to wide ridicule, but it was later disclosed that the school had provided Quayle with a flash card that also incorrectly spelled "potatoe". In a later memoir, Quayle wrote: “It was more than a gaffe. It was a ‘defining moment’ of the worst imaginable kind. I can’t overstate how discouraging and exasperating the whole event was.”

​On June 14 of 1976
Liberty State Park on the Jersey City waterfront behind the Statue of Liberty is opened on Flag Day to the public, and becomes a central point for viewing the celebration in New York harbor of the nation's Bicentennial on the following July 4
