Ohio Justice: Questioning convictions like Kim Kardashian does with Kevin Keith's right
"Questioning whether the system got it wrong does not devalue those individuals and keeping the wrong person in prison does not advance victims’ rights," Justice Michael P. Donnelly writesMichael P. Donnelly is an associate justice of the Supreme Court of Ohio. He recently served on Ohio’s Task Force on Conviction Integrity and Postconviction Review, which was comprised of judges, attorneys, legislators, and other stakeholders.
And when the government fails to do its job, we should not stand by and let them use the victims to validate a conviction that was faulty from the start. We need to find a way to support the victims, while also seeking the justice that should have occurred at the time of trial. We need to understand how memory works, how trauma affects people’s memories and responses, and how contamination of memory affects witnesses.
