Happy New Year! We are deeply thankful for all of the support and feedback we’ve received from Innocence Blog readers this year, and we’re looking forward to collaborating on a successful 2011. Below are a few stories from around the world this week.
Michael Anthony Green, who was freed this year after 27 years in Texas prisons for a crime he didn’t commit, has begun working to help other wrongfully convicted individuals fight for justice.
USA Today this week continued its series on prosecutorial misconduct by looking at the ripples of injustice when a prosecutor “crosses the line.”
Relatives of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was executed in Texas in 2004 despite evidence of his innocence, are appealing a court’s decision to stop a review of his case.
The Washington Post pointed to the risk of wrongful convictions as a key reason the death penalty should be ended in the United States.
The Center on Wrongful Convictions continued this week to seek a new trial for Armando Serrano, who has served two decades in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The case has drawn attention and controversy over prosecutors’ efforts to subpoena records of Northwestern University journalism students who investigated evidence of Serrano’s innocence.
