Why do wrongful convictions keep happening?

What should be done?

In what will be an unforgettable evening, hear first-hand the remarkable stories of four people wrongly convicted and imprisoned:

Sunny Jacobs: on death row for 17 years

Peter Pringle: on death row for 14 years

Paddy Hill: imprisoned for 16 years

Robert Brown: imprisoned for 25 years

After hearing the compelling stories of four ‘exonerees’, a panel will lead discussion and debate on key questions.

 Join the panel-led discussion to address key questions including:

• How does a system based on due process continue to convict the innocent?
• When you are wrongly convicted why is it so difficult to clear your name?
• What is to be done?”
