172: Manifesting Justice: How Wrongfully Convicted Women Reclaim Their Rights w/Valena Beety


Listen Later

While the Innocence Project has continuously done amazing work in revealing just how flawed our legal system can be, there has always been limits on the cases they take. Normally, these have been confined to cases where DNA evidence can definitively exonerate the wrongfully convicted. This practice can and does leave out countless people who are factually innocent behind bars. Today, Hunter spoke with Valena Beety to examine the women and LGBTQ community members who have been wrongfully convicted and how to best go about expanding the innocence movement.

 

Guests:

Valena Beety, Professor of Law, Indiana University Mercer School of Law, Founding Director of the West Virginia Innocence Project
