The Wrongfully Convicted and Civil Action

Today we watched the Steven Truscott Story.  Truscott was convicted of a murder and sentenced to
hang when he was 14 years old.  He spent 10 years in prison and was released and he has spent a good part of his life fighting for the conviction to be overturned because he was innocent.

We then went to the Library to begin work on the assignment, The Wrongfully Convicted.

In Today's News!  A convict in Louisiana was just released after 41 years in solitary confinement - conviction tossed out, he was never guilty!
