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?”
