Michael Griesbach

Michael Griesbach is a prosecuting attorney in the Wisconsin county where the events recounted in The Innocent Killer occurred. He wrote this book to challenge the system, to find out if we still believe in the long-cherished principle of American jurisprudence: "It's better to let one hundred guilty persons go free than it is to convict one who is innocent." Michael hopes to leave readers better informed about the inner workings of the criminal justice system and more concerned about those whose lives it deeply affects. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife, Jody, and their four children.
