A National Problem with Real Consequences

Prosecutors have immense, unchecked power, and are rarely held accountable for their misconduct. When their power is abused, the innocent suffer and justice is denied.

1 in 3 Wrongful Convictions Involve Prosecutorial Misconduct

A major form of prosecutorial misconduct – concealing exculpatory evidence — has “reached epidemic proportions in recent years.”

– Alex Kozinski, former Chief Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
