Convicting the Innocent - Tonight ( 4. March 2010, 15:20 by Derek Young) ~ Last Minute ...

If running, spy books & beer aren’t your thing, maybe social justice is. In 1984, Ronald Cotton was sent to jail for raping Jennifer Thompson-Cannino based on her eyewitness testimony. He was finally exonerated in 1995 when DNA evidence proved that he was not Jennifer’s rapist. Tonight they will be speaking together about their experiences and needed reforms to the judicial system as part of the Integrity of Justice Speakers Series.
