On this episode, Keith Harward and Jerry Reynolds returned to talk about Keith's story; The Innocence Project; and forensic science. A year ago, Keith came on "Seeking Justice" to talk about his exoneration from prison, due to the long and diligent work of The Innocence Project. Keith was convicted (wrongfully) in 1983 of rape and murder in New Port News, Virginia in a highly publicized case.
Released last year, Keith has been working tirelessly to further the awareness of The Innocence Project (which engages the help of Law Firms that will represent those who may have been falsely imprisoned for free). Keith's trial(s) were filled with grossly negligent errors and omissions of proper protocols. He fought for decades to have his case re-evaluated and the system continued to fail him. Thirty-five years later, the state of Virginia compensated Keith in a settlement for wrongful imprisonment.
Since being on "Seeking Justice" last year, Keith's case and work was recognized by John Oliver's "Last Week Tonight" production staff and his story was featured on the show in late summer of 2017.
Keith then went on a speaking tour in England (and has toured other places in the U.S.) helping to educate forensic science review boards about his multi-layered case.
Keith has been in talks to develop a Netflix show with other individuals who were wrongfully imprisoned and whether Netflix picks it up or not, Keith plans on taking his new bus around the country to continue the work he has been doing with The Innocence Project.
