comingsoon.net/true-crime/new… Dateline is re-airing this powerful story about a pre-teen's false confession to murder. Anthony's case was one of the first i consulted on all those years ago. CenterOnWrongfulConvictions
The saddest part of working in the wrongful convictions field is learning that someone who has been exonerated has died. May Jonathan Barr (here with his brother James Harden) rest in peace. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him. innocenceproject.org/remembering-jo…
What happened to Tom Perez at the hands of the Fontana Police Department was a disgrace. This story, by CNN's Rachel Clarke & Shimon Prokupecz, is excellent reporting of the anatomy of Mr. Perez's false confession and his nightmarish ordeal. cnn.com/2024/09/05/us/…
Kudos to Northwestern Law alum Andrew Stroth of Truth, Hope, and Justice Initiative for assembling data showing how much $$ the City of Chicago has paid lawyers to defend wrongful conviction cases. Think how such $$ cd be used to make the streets safer & the schools better. abc7chicago.com/post/billion-d…
