Innocence Project......Not So Innocent
News of the Cook County State's Attorney's filed brief, accusing Northwestern University Innocence Project students of paying witnesses in exchange for testimony, has made national headlines. The story was picked up by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press. Nevertheless, no one from the university has demanded the students respond to these allegations. Mr. Protess, the students teacher, has staunchly defended his work and the work of his students. But why not clear their name? Why not cooperate or conduct their own investigation of these claims. Northwestern's response is due in January. Until then we will continue to wonder - Why is Northwestern fighting these requests? Every day they fail to comply, forces people to question - Is the Innocence Project really so innocent?
If the students were truly paying off witnesses..why would they do that? What do you think?
I my self have had my life turned upside down by the wrongful conviction of my husband. It sad that theres really not much u can do about it. THE DA had so muh B.S but no physical evidence i was hard to get them to take out time and get ixed up bin our legal issues. It sad that people dont help each other just because anymoe but MONEY TALKS. THE QUESTION IS WERE THEY PAID TO TELL THE TRUTH OR PAID TO TELL A LIE?
