During the year 2011, 78 people were executed in the United States. Were any of them wrongly convicted? Obviously we do not know the answer, but research based on DNA evidence in recent years has demonstrated many problematic aspects of the justice system. Join Professor Nadav Goldschmied as he discusses findings in the realm of false confessions, erroneous eyewitness identifications and junk forensic science.
