The Innocence Project

I know this is delving into my psych and law roots a little bit, but this is the link to the Innocence Project's website. The Innocence Project is an organization devoted to exonerating the wrongly convicted through the use of DNA evidence or identifying flaws in the judicial system. Many of those who have been exonerated were put in prison in the first place because of faulty eyewitness testimony. This is relevant to us because a lot of these eyewitness ids were made by a person of a different race than the wrongly accused. We will inevitably be discussing the cross-race effect in this class, so I thought this website would help provide some evidence of how much of an issue the CRE is. There are a lot of interesting stories on here, and they have also recently updated the site with some of their greatest accomplishments of the decade.
