Yesterday, our students led a discussion on eyewitness identification and the problems we often see in innocence cases with misidentification. They ended class with an exercise in memory-based composite sketch drawing. Mistaken identifications contributed to 22% of wrongful conviction cases in 2025, and to 27% of wrongful convictions logged in the The National Registry of Exonerations since 1989. Eyewitness identification issues have appeared in all of the cases the Nebraska Innocence Clinic is litigating so far.

Friday October 2nd is the 13th annual . Swipe to learn more about eyewitness misidentification in Nebraska and across the nation. Visit wrongfulconvictionday.org to find out about other contributing factors to wrongful convictions and remedies for innocent people.

Last week our Director got to attend a discussion with Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist and author Rick Tulsky about his new book . It was an insightful evening of discussion about the causes of wrongful conviction, how the postconviction process works, and the specifics of Kansas City KS and Lamonte McIntyre’s wrongful conviction.

had a winning day in court yesterday! Our students requested exhibits on a case through Nebraska’s public records law, and after months of back and forth, got a hearing scheduled to have them released for review. After a brief hearing on the request, a judge granted our students’ request. Though it seems small, wins like this make a huge difference in reviewing a case and continuing the investigation. We’re proud of our students for seeing this through!

It’s been a busy final month of the semester for ! Our Director and undergraduate intern attended the Innocence Network Conference in Chicago, where we learned more about the causes of wrongful convictions and met Exonerees and advocates from around the world, including some people working at Conviction Integrity Units like Izzy Corngold of the Arlington County CIU in VA. Then the law class celebrated the end of the semester with a paint party to let loose before finals. Most of us decided to paint a landscape, but one student felt drawn to animal portraiture instead 🪿 We’ll miss this class and our students over the summer, and are excited to have some of them return in the fall.
