Phantom Electric Ghost Interviews Valena Beety: Queer Litigator Fighting Wrongful Convictions of Women and LGBTQ+ Folk

Wrongful Convictions of Queer People - how do they happen?

Biography

Valena Elizabeth Beety is an innocence litigator, a law professor, and a former federal prosecutor. She is currently a law professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. Beety has exonerated wrongly convicted clients, founded the West Virginia Innocence Project, obtained presidential grants of clemency for drug offenses, and co-edited a guide to causes of wrongful convictions, The Wrongful Convictions Reader. She fights for the rights of wrongly convicted people, and to expand the idea of who is “wrongfully convicted” beyond factual innocence. Many people we identify as “criminals” and prosecute are wrongly convicted in our system, over-sentenced for drug offenses, and criminalized for their identities. She explores these topics, and wrongful convictions based on gender and sexual orientation, in her award-winning book Manifesting Justice: Wrongly Convicted Women Reclaim Their Rights.
