The post-conviction litigation of shifts in science is a key part of the Network’s advocacy. Such litigation of traditional forensic science issues has led to hundreds of exonerations, and applying a similar approach to shifts in social sciences creates even more possibilities. After an introduction to the general litigation of shifted science claims, this session will focus on how advancements in social science research in the areas of eyewitness identifications and false confessions provide additional possibilities for undoing wrongful convictions. In the past year, for the first time ever, a state high court accepted that new research into the psychology of eyewitness identifications undermined confidence in a conviction and warranted a new trial. In another case, the court accepted for the first time that psychological research about false confessions could constitute newly discovered evidence. Litigation of shifts in social science research thus presents a critical new frontier for the innocence movement.
