Innocence Project

Liveblog and Video Clips on Reforming Criminal Justice in NY

Cross posted from the DMI blog.

The Drum Major Institute hosted an event yesterday on preventing wrongful convictions and exonerating the innocent. Dallas DA Craig Watkins, Barry Scheck from the Innocence Project, New York State Senator Eric Schneiderman, and Westchester DA Janet DiFiore discussed reforms for reducing the incarcerations of innocent people in Dallas and how these policies could work in New York and what it would take to get them implemented here. Our liveblog and some video clips are posted below.
