New York to Introduce Wrongful Conviction Legislation Today
A press conference will be held in New York today heralding the introduction of a much needed legislative reform package that will help reduce the number of wrongful convictions. From the Innocence Project's press release (no link, received by e-mail):
The sweeping legislative package includes fundamental reforms – including access to post-conviction DNA testing, preservation of evidence that can prove innocence, mechanisms for people to prove their innocence by using forensic databases that can identify true perpetrators of crimes, the formation of a state Innocence Commission and others.
