It was published sometime between 2009-2012. Think was a female author, but can't remember for certain. Nonfiction. True story about a young African American man from Chicago, who was falsely accused of participating in the robbery and murder (victim was beaten to death) of a man in his inner city neighborhood. He was held in a Chicago city jail for 3 years without ever being charged with a crime. He was freed when a female attorney visiting a client at the jail heard his story, and agreed to take on his case for free. The crime happened during the late 1990's, I believe.
