Recently, shows like Serial and Making a Murderer have brought the problems associated with the criminal justice system and the prevalence of wrongful convictions into the national spot light, and according to a new report from the University of Michigan Law School's National Registry of Exonerations, 2015 set a record for the number of wrongly convicted Americans who were finally exonerated. The report details how many of these wrongful convictions were the result of law enforcement misconduct and false confessions which helped to land many innocent people in prison. Joining me today to discuss the report and its findings is Stephanie Mencimer a Staff Writer in Mother Jones' Washington bureau and a Board member of The Fund for Investigative Journalism.
