Where to start

Got ten minutes? Do one of these.

What evidence was the conviction built on, and what has changed since trial?

  • Write down what the conviction rested on: eyewitness, confession, forensics, informant.
  • Find the court opinion and read what changed after trial.
  • Look for other cases with the same detective, lab or prosecutor.
