The War At Home: Wrongful Convictions
Episode description
About Valena Beety:
I’m a law professor, an innocence litigator, and a former federal prosecutor. I have 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.
I fight 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. I’m grateful that my job is to fight for them, and teach others about how to change our criminal legal system.
