The Medill Innocence Project is part of Northwestern University’s Journalism program. The project is commited to seeing the truth revealed and resolving “miscarriages of justice”. Those are the cases where men or women are wrongly convicted. They’ve recently come under fire for a case from 1975. The accusation is that the motivation was not for truth or justice but for good grades. Student’s records and grades have been subpeoned and it is detracting from the proceedings when a life and the truth is at stake. The project has a track record of 11 exonerations.
