Author Alice Sebold apologized to a man who last week was exonerated of her rape, a crime she wrote about in her memoir Lucky, but the writer also appeared to place as much blame on a "flawed legal system" as she did on the role she played in his conviction...
In Lucky, Sebold wrote that after she failed to identify Broadwater in a police lineup, "a detective and a prosecutor told her after the lineup that she picked out the wrong man and how the prosecutor deliberately coached her into rehabilitating her misidentification," according to the attorneys' affirmation that led to Broadwater's exoneration...
Her publisher Scribner, and its parent company, Simon & Schuster, will stop distributing the book in all formats "while Sebold and Scribner together consider how the work might be revised," said Brian Belfiglio, Scribner vice president of publicity and marketing, in a statement to CNN.
