Seeing as I don’t even know how to share the Instagram reel I created (my first ever) here, I will learn about social media through this challenge and hopefully some other people will learn about wrongful conviction. 😁

In honour of International Wrongful Conviction Day (Oct 2nd), my lab and our school’s Innocence Club (which greatly overlap) have taken on a challenge to post about wrongful conviction weekly until the end of the year.

I attended the Innocence Network conference for the first time. It was amazing! #innocenceconference And a special thank you to the Florida Innocence Project team for allowing me to hitch a ride to the airport (and avoid the Blue Line)!

#Participants invited for #research (18+ Canadian citizens/residents). The 10-minute study involves sharing opinions on Canada’s legal system, reading a news article and answering questions.

As my arguments are still circling in my head this morning, I should do something. I would rather an interactive discussion than serial monologues, but that is a start! I don’t disagree with many of the criticisms, just the conclusions that social psych doesn’t matter and has had no impact.

We read a few of Latane and Darley’s actual articles in my classes this past year (the seizure study and smoke study). The research is thought provoking, led to great class discussion, and has changed how we think and act in situations. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, so to speak.

I read a Kassin article (I believe) on the politics behind the journalism reporting of the event. Crazy stuff. I wasn’t aware of this article, but I had heard about these issues. Thanks!

I wish I could chat with all of you about it. I would definitely counter-argue on a lot of the points that were raised. Thanks for re-igniting my passion, as I have had my moments of disillusionment too. I think I will write my reactions down somewhere and discuss with my students.

Wow. I can’t tell you how many times I have stopped in an ambiguous situation and asked if someone needed help because of Latane and Darley’s work. Work that was mentioned as common sense wasn’t when it was researched (only is now with hindsight bias). Listening actually renewed my passion. lol

I was wondering where this legislation was in the pipeline. Canada recently established the Canadian Registry of Wrongful Convictions (www.wrongfulconvictions.ca), and it sound like we may soon have an independent review board…

Also didn’t help that one of the cases we were following in class ended in an execution last month. I mean, it stressed the importance of advocacy and education, the relevance of work in this area, the very real consequences… but the class has been pretty somber and deflated since then.

Thanks. Still a noob! One of my grad students had to teach me how to find posted replies 🙄

I like the before and after idea! We read Norris’ work on compensation statutes already, but it ended with discussion of all that was missing and how much further things needed to go (as all my WC classes seem to). In future, I will end that one with a then vs. now!

Odd question, but does anyone have any advice on how to end a wrongful conviction course on a more hopeful note? I feel like my lectures are full of doom and gloom these days. I don’t want to misrepresent, but I don’t want to instil a sense of hopelessness either.
