Summary
A report examining eleven exonerations in Virginia and recommending reforms for preventing future wrongful convictions. The report identifies common problems that led to the eleven wrongful convictions. It calls for reform and highlights measures in seven areas - eyewitness identification, interrogation, discovery, law enforcement investigation, scientific evidence, and defense practices - that would improve Virginia's criminal justice system and offer the latest and best practices to law enforcement officers, courts, prosecutors, and defense counsel.
