Description

A discussion with attorneys Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld, who formed The Innocence Project in 1992, which has helped free 37 wrongly convicted men through the use of DNA testing. Their work is the basis for the book "Actual Innocence", which details some of the cases they have taken on and the controversy DNA testing has brought to the courtroom. They are joined by their collaborator on the book, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and author Jim Dwyer.
