Next week in Washington, D.C., an unprecedented group of exonerees, leading legal authorities on federal post-conviction remedies, a crime victim from a recent high-profile Texas wrongful conviction case and others will lead a discussion on District Attorney’s Office v. William G. Osborne, which is set for oral argument at the U.S. Supreme Court on March 2.
Alaska officials have arbitrarily refused Osborne’s requests for DNA testing for years even though the testing would be performed at no cost to the State, and the State now concedes that DNA testing could prove his innocence for a 1993 rape and attempted murder in Alaska. The Innocence Project will argue before the U.S. Supreme Court that Osborne has a constitutional right to DNA testing that can prove his innocence.
This discussion is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, February 26 at McDonough Hall, Georgetown University Law Center, 600 New Jersey Ave. NW. Please use the form below to invite your friends to join us. |
