Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes producer Shari Finkelstein took a unique approach to their story, capturing the raw emotions of crime victims and wrongfully convicted men during a three-day retreat.
This week on 60 Minutes, correspondent Lesley Stahl and a 60 Minutes team reported on Healing Justice, a nonprofit organization that brings together survivors, of crimes like sexual assault and rape, wrongfully convicted people, and family members— all from different cases— for a three-day retreat to help heal the deep wounds caused when the justice system gets it wrong.
And once that initial misidentification is made, Finkelstein explained, it can become compounded: the victim can become even more convinced that the wrongly accused is the actual perpetrator. 'They've seen the photograph. Then they see the person in a physical lineup. Then, they see the person in the courtroom…Again, and again, and again, that person's face becomes the face in their mind,' she explained.
