Name
Exonerations in 2023: Victories and Trends
Description

The researchers at the National Registry of Exonerations will present detailed information about the year in exonerations. It's a way to capture and process the important victories in the innocence movement as well as the latest information on the causes of wrongful conviction. We will also discuss the growing number of mass exonerations and the changes we've made to our coding scheme to better reflect forensic misconduct . The Registry's research includes exonerations that receive a great deal of publicity and also those that receive little attention. People who attend our session will learn about how we find cases, code cases, and work closely with the innocence movement in making sure that our research helps create pathways for future exonerations.
