Sandra Hemme has spent more than 42 years in prison– if exonerated, her prison term would mark the longest known wrongful conviction of a woman in U.S. history. So proud of the lawyers on my team fighting for her at the #InnocenceProject

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
