WEBINAR: Faulty Forensics: Flawed systems: Exoneree Rosa Jimenez and leading experts from the Innocence Project and Towson University explore how these blotches on our criminal justice systems distort death investigations - like false diagnoses of "excited delirium" or Shaken Baby Syndrome — thereby fuelling wrongful convictions and obscure deaths in custody. It's billed as an opportunity to learn "what the latest research reveals, what the data is missing, and what must change." Looks great. I can't wait! HL.

FINAL WORD:  (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases):  "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."

Lawyer Radha Natarajan:

Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;

—————————————————————————————————

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions.   They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!

Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;
