À propos de ce contenu audio
 Indiana Innocence Project director Kristine Bunch was imprisoned in 1996 and released in 2012 after a legal fight over fire evidence in her case. Bunch recounts how she found an attorney in 2002, received help from Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions and finally obtained original ATF lab records. Those records showed no accelerant in her son's bedroom and helped challenge forensic testimony used against her at trial. She describes giving birth to her second child in prison and waiting years for the legal system to respond. Now the first director of the Indiana Innocence Project, Bunch explains how her team handles claims of innocence. The organization requests prison records, gathers police reports and trial transcripts, consults forensic experts, and interviews witnesses again before lawyers determine what can be brought back to court. She identifies mistaken eyewitness identifications, incentivized testimony, faulty forensics, false confessions and official misconduct as recurring sources of wrongful convictions. She also discusses the cases that are hardest to resolve, particularly when witnesses have died or evidence is no longer available, and the difficulty of helping incarcerated people and their families navigate long delays. Bunch outlines plans to recruit attorneys and volunteers, collaborate with law firms and other innocence groups, and adapt the Illinois Innocence Project's police training approach for Indiana. Her goal is to build an organization capable of securing an exoneration within five years, while teaching future lawyers and law enforcement officers how to prevent wrongful convictions.
