On October 23, at 9:00am on Minnesota Public Radio, the Great North Innocence Project joins MPR host Angela Davis for a discussion of how innocent people end up wrongfully convicted for things they didn’t do. Freed and exonerated former GNIP client Mike Hansen and GNIP managing attorney James Mayer will share insights on the development and growth of the innocence movement. From its early grounding in the use of DNA to overturn wrongful convictions to the knowledge we have today about many additional known causes and consequences of wrongful convictions, the movement has come a long way, freeing over 3,300 people nationwide. As experience and knowledge have grown, we know more about the disparate impact of wrongful convictions on BIPOC people, how wrongful convictions impact lives, and how wrongful convictions can be overturned and prevented.
