DA Hires Defense Attorney to Free Wrongly Convicted

An article in the ABA Journal reports on Dallas, Texas District Attorney Craig Watkins, who has hired a defense attorney to help free those wrongly convicted. Thus far, five people have been exonerated by DNA evidence since Watkins took office a year ago.

ACS co-hosted an all-day event last October on "The American Prosecutor: Power, Discretion, and Accountability," at which Watkins participated in a panel discussion on prosecutorial misconduct.
