  • 被搶劫的人生:蘇炳坤從冤枉到無罪的三十年長路

    by 陳昭如 ...
    Series Book 23 - 春山之聲
    他被控搶劫銀樓,事實卻是他的人生被司法體制搶劫一空。一九八六年,家具行老闆蘇炳坤因涉嫌結夥搶劫被警方逮捕。雖然他矢口否認犯行,卻換來無情的刑求,就算他一路喊冤,警方仍逕行宣布破案,最後被法院判處十五年徒刑。為了證明自己的清白,他選擇「一邊逃 一邊喊冤」,事實上每天都待在家裡四處寄陳情書,成為「在家逃亡」的通緝犯。這一逃,就是十年,直到一九九七年意外被捕為止。沒有被冤枉過的人,無法瞭解清白有多麼重要。雖然二○○○年已獲得總統特赦,但蘇炳坤以為司法體制並沒有真正還他公道,年近七十的他決心展開下一階段的戰鬥,再次挑戰再審的超高門檻。本書記錄蘇炳坤三十年來為平反而奮鬥的漫長旅程。盼望這樣舊時代的冤獄,能在新時代的期許中真正地畫下句點,因為只有直視過去,重新串接記憶斷裂之處,才能在如霧般籠罩的現實中重新確立航道,找到未來的路。﹝專文推薦﹞羅秉成 冤案救援律師,現任行政院政務委員﹝共同推薦﹞李茂生 ...
