Provides a systematic analysis of the litigation in Brown v. Mississippi, in which the Supreme Court made a pathbreaking decision in 1936 showing the unconstitutionality of coerced confessions. The case exonerated three black sharecroppers who had confessed under torture to the murder of a white planter.
