How do innocent people end up on—and get released from—death row? This session will discuss the most common causes of wrongful convictions in death penalty cases, propose reforms to reduce the likelihood that they will occur, and suggest measures defense lawyers and prosecutors can take to discover and redress them.
Recorded during the 2018 Criminal Law Symposium in June 2018.
