Beyond Exonerating the Innocent

Listen Wednesday, Apr. 23, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. in Law, Politics

They're sitting in prisons around the country right now -- people who were wrongly imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. In Virginia, the state's Innocence Commission reviewed eleven cases of people who had been wrongly imprisoned. Join Kojo as we look at the commission's findings and how the legal community should proceed in evaluating its own mistakes.
