nytimes.com/2024/08/08/nyr… If police officers are to lie under oath, they are not going to restrict themselves to lying in felony cases. Kudos to DA Melinda Katz of Brooklyn for recognizing this and tossing all the misemeanor convictions attributed to this perjurious cop.

Lots of compelling speakers at the Dem's Convention in Chicago (The False Confession Capital). None were as compelling as The Exonerated 5. Had Donald Trump had his way, these men would have been executed for crimes they falsely confessed to as teens. youtu.be/pWgnINE9byw

I spent all day yesterday in the hospital with Bernie. She's having stomach issues, maybe IBS. It runs in my wife's family. When the aide returned her to me, she looked like this. The vet apologized. The haircut was meant for another dog. Can I sue for emotional distress?

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…

Ofra Bikel was one of the finest journalists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her work on the Norfolk Four case was one of the best pieces on false confessions ever produced, particularly when she got Derek Tice to act out his interrogation. pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…

The end of 2020 was scary. COVID was raging. The election was close and disputed. Human interaction was by Zoom. But 3 events made me LMAO -- Four Seasons Total Landscaping, Rudy's leaky hair dye, and this tweet from OJ punking Jeffrey Toobin. deadline.com/2020/10/o-j-si…

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.
