The Innocence Project at Gel 2009
I'm happy to announce that Barry Scheck, cofounder of The Innocence Project, will be speaking at Gel 2009 (April 30 - May 1 in New York).
Coincidentally, a front page NYT article today mentions the excellent work that The Innocence Project does:
Peter J. Neufeld, a co-director of the Innocence Project, a nonprofit group that uses DNA evidence to exonerate the wrongfully convicted, presented to the academy a study of trial transcripts of 137 convictions that were overturned by DNA evidence and found that 60 percent included false or misleading statements regarding blood, hair, bite mark, shoe print, soil, fiber and fingerprint analyses.
The outstanding documentary After Innocence is the best place to start, if you're interested to learn more.
