Reporting Highlights

• Discredited Testimony: Nine prisoners who were convicted in part on inaccurate evidence presented by dentist Michael West and pathologist Dr. Steven Hayne have since been exonerated.
• Junk Science: Jimmie Chris Duncan was sentenced to death row for killing his girlfriend’s toddler after allegedly manufactured bite mark evidence connected him to the crime.
• Suppressed Evidence: Prosecutors did not reveal that a critical witness had written them a letter from jail in which he appeared to offer his assistance in exchange for leniency.
