      Don't get lost in the static or throw up smoke screens. Barry Scheck is doing a wonderful service to people caught up in our "impaired" judicial system.

      Barry Scheck is doing a great job for our people wrong convicted in our very tainted judicial system. Good for you Barry

      May God bless the work and the workers at the Innocence Project. I cannot think of anything more worthwhile. If I were a wealthy person you would be fully funded until this abuse ends.

      One of the comments above just blew me away - imagine doubting the demonstrated truth because you so passionately wanted OJ to be guilty!! Are the policemen and prosecutors in these cases ever called to account? Surely for an innocent person to be convicted lies had to be told and evidence ignored or dismissed !

      As the 154th DNA exoneree I know what Byron is going through. People really need to help him out - not just say how horrible this is. Don't tell him how wonderful it is for him to get out show him: send money throught the Innocence Project.

      excellent. Im estatic that wrongly convicted men are stepping forward with their stories. I want to hear more from them. I love you Barry Scheck.

      How can anyone doubt Schecks's conclusions when they're based on DNA evidence?

      Science, unlike some prosecutors, does not lie.

      Thank god my son did not follow the alcholisism passed down thru my family. He is now a Chemecial Mollecular Engineering Major on the deans list with a 3.5 gpa at SUNY STONYBOOK and I barely only made it thru the B10th grade at Bayside HS. Now NYC HRA wants him to quit college to sweep subway cars.

      After Barry Scheck's performance at the O.J. debacle how can anyone believe anything he says or pretends to stand for?
