About this blog

The purpose of this blog is to record serious crimes where the wrong person has been accused. In each case, many people involved in the prosecution had to know that the evidence was faulty, but the prosecution proceeded anyway.I will not, in general, record the evidence, as someone else has done that much better than I ever can. Instead, I will link to the work of others. In many cases, the investigators have also found evidence as to who may have actually committed the crime in question. I will organize the cases by state. In each case, if you have authority in the state in question, I'd strongly suggest checking out the linked evidence yourself. I will only add cases where something useful can still be done. A case would meet this criterion if an innocent person remains in prison, or if there is a strong lead as to who might have actually committed the crime, but the lead is not being followed. It is an sad fact that even after it is proven that a conviction is wrongful, and even after the evidence for that is public and well known, authorities frequently don't want to let the innocent person out or to follow leads as to who might actually be guilty.
