NATIONAL REGISTRY OF EXONERATIONS
Wrongful Conviction Film and Book Series – October 17, 2018
A book celebration and panel discussion of “Rectify:The Power of Restorative Justice After Wrongful Convictions” by Lara Bazelon.
In “Rectify”, Lara Bazelon puts a face to the growing number of men and women exonerated from crimes that kept them behind bars for years and that devastate not only the exonerees but also their families, the crime victims who mistakenly identified them as perpetrators, the jurors who convicted them, and the prosecutors who realized too late that they helped convict an innocent person.
A Year in Exonerations – May 29, 2018
A review of the National Registry of Exoneration‘s first year at the University of California, Irvine that focused on how the Registry has been used for Research, Counting, Learning, Communicating and Advocacy.
Speakers included Kelly Loudenberg, Director of the acclaimed Netflix series The Confession Tapes and Bruce Lisker, who was exonerated in 2009 after serving 24 years in prison for murder.
Welcome Celebration- March 17, 2017
UCI Newkirk Center for Science and Society welcomes the arrival of the National Registry of Exonerations. Speakers included Barry Scheck, Innocence Project, and Franky Carrillo, Exoneree.
