VIDEO: Wrongful convictions of women in the U.S. produced by the Innocence Project on the occasion of Women's History Month.
GIST: Innocence Project Executive Director Maddy DeLone discusses some of the distinct factors that contribute to the wrongful conviction of women in the U.S to the backdrop of some significant statistics: 63% of the female exoneration cases involved a woman convicted of a crime that never occurred; 159 women in the U.S. were exonerated since 1989; 337 people were exonerated by DNA around the U.S. 50% of the female exonerees have been convicted of physically harming, or killing a family member, loved one, or child in their care; 37% of women exonerated because their convictions used false or misleading forensic evidence.
