Subscribe Via RSSMAIP to Co-Sponsor Innocence Week at the Washington College of Law
From March 26-30, MAIP will celebrate its relationship with the Washington College of Law at American University by co-sponsoring Innocence Week. The week will feature lunch-time panel discussions for WCL students on innocence issues, including presentations by Kirk Bloodsworth and Dennis Fritz, as well as law professors who study innocence issues and attorneys who have obtained exonerations for their clients. The week will culminate in performances of the highly acclaimed play The Exonerated on the evenings of Thursday, March 29, and Friday, March 30. Members of the public are encouraged to join us for the play! Tickets should be available on-line by mid-February. Check back here for details.

I am really looking forward to Innocence Week. It will be a great time for more people to learn about MAIP and the great work of the organization.
There are two topics that I hope will be discussed sometime during the week:
false confessions and;
what happens to the innocence after they are released.

The public is welcome at all Innocence Week events! For a discussion of false confessions, you will be particularly interested in Tuesday’s luncheon lecture, which features Jim Trainum, a DC Metropolitan Police Department detective who has interrogated many suspects and has strong feelings about the issue.
