Divided into three parts, the series dives deep into three different causes of wrongful conviction: prosecutorial misconduct, eyewitness misidentification and the use of unreliable or unvalidated forensic science. Over nine episodes, "The Innocence Files" tells the stories of eight people — Chester Hollman III, Kenneth Wyniemko, Alfred Dewayne Brown, Thomas Haynesworth, Franky Carrillo, Levon Brooks, Kennedy Brewer and Keith Harward — how they were wrongfully convicted, and their uphill battles for justice.
Executive produced and directed by Academy Award nominee Liz Garbus and Academy Award winners Alex Gibney and Roger Ross Williams, the powerful show connects viewers to the people driving the movement to reform the justice system and the individuals whose lives have been impacted by wrongful conviction. The series also includes episodes directed by Sarah Dowland, Academy Award nominee Jed Rothstein and Emmy Award winner Andy Grieve.
We can't wait for you to watch it.

That DA still don't get it:
For example, when the DA stated, "did you go by Home Depot and rent someone." That statement made my jaw drop. I'm black and I was offended for people of Latin decent. It was racist. This is what people like her problem is…..they let a few determine how they feel about the majority.

Is there any movement on prosecutors being assigned and not voted in?
Thanks to Jason Flom and the podcast "Wrongful Convictions" I am wholeheartedly impassioned by what you do.
