Mark Godsey has dedicated his legal career to protecting convicted inmates who claim they are not guilty. But how do those innocent citizens end up with convictions in the first place? Mark Godsey presents why that happens and how can we minimize-or even eliminate-the high number of wrongful convictions that happen in the United States each year.
Professor Mark Godsey directs the Ohio Innocence Project at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, and is a leading activist globally in the innocence movement. He is the author of Blind Injustice: A Former Prosecutor Exposes the the Psychology and Politics of Wrongful Convictions, forthcoming September 2017.
