Yesterday on the Big Island of Hawai'i Ian Schweitzer was #exonerated after 25 years in prison. Mr. Schwitzer was exonerated based on new DNA evidence, new tire tread evidence, and the refutation of junk science bite mark evidence. His original conviction was based largely on jailhouse informant testimony. Mr. Schwitzer was represented by the #InnocenceProject and the #HawaiiInnocenceProject. https://innocenceproject.org/ian-schweitzers-exonerated-murder-25-years-hawaii/ #law #lawfedi #CriminalJustice #CriminalLegalReform #WrongfulConviction @law

"Juries place a lot of weight on forensic evidence, which plays an important role in securing criminal convictions. Yet jurors are typically unaware that many forensic techniques have not been subject to scientific rigor." https://t.co/KB9FiNbwqs #forensics #innocence #innocenceproject #law #lawfedi #criminallaw #criminallegalreform @law

Many people say they would never plead guilty to a crime they did not commit. Those people have likely never faced that choice. https://guiltypleaproblem.org/

The NYPD is planning even more surveillance by joining Ring’s surveillance network. Ring/amazon claimed a 55% crime reduction after “Neighborhood” (mass surveillance) deployed; “instead …burglaries in Wilshire Park had risen over the course of the 2015 pilot program, and were higher in 2017 than in the seven preceding years.” (Per an MIT analysis) https://www.nytimes.com/article/nypd-ring-app-surveillance.html #privacy #surveillance #amazon #nypd #nyc #criminaljustice #criminallegalreform #law #lawfedi @law
