  6. 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. innocenceproject.org/ian-schwe #law #lawfedi #CriminalJustice #CriminalLegalReform #WrongfulConviction @law

  7. instagram.com/p/CmXgOEturQQ/?i The NYC Central Park 5 now known as the Exonerated Central Park 5, get a gate renamed for them and all those falsely accused. Rarely is an injustice acknowledged and transformed but these men and their families and loved ones have made it their mission after being so cruelly mistreated by the NYC justice system and media.#exonerated #centralpark5
