2 Errors of justice | Asbjørn Rachlew | TEDxArendal
TEDx Talks
Gepubliceerd op 22 sep. 2014
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. It was sheer luck that led to an innocent man facing a jail sentence for murder to go free. Another man admitted to the crime, but before that – the innocent person had spent six months isolated, interrogated and had become broken down and suicidal.
Later – after the incident – Asbjørn suggested a meeting between the man that had been falsely accused – “Stein Inge Johannessen” and the detective responsible for the investigation – in front of
200 police officers. The learning session made an extraordinary impression on the audiences, and suddenly Stein Inge, the detective and Asbjørn found themselves working together – traveling the world and talking about how innocent people often confess to crimes they do not commit.
As a viewer you should know that the innocent man “Stein Inge” later took his own life – and his son was attending the audience during this talk. When Asbjørn adresses the audience – it is the son he is talking to, and paying respects to – which is also an emotional thing, as “Stein Inge” had become Asbjørns close friend trough their work.
Asbjørn Rachlew is a Police superintendent,
researcher, and a teacher that travels around the world, talking about Police investigations and Human Rights. He has researched in depth what causes false confessions and leads to people falsly accused of crimes they did not commit.

Natalie believes there is a better way to “do” justice. At the age of 18, she volunteered with a literacy organization in Canadian federal prisons, and quickly became convinced of the merits of an emerging trend toward restorative justice practices. Today, she is a consultant and psychological counsellor who works closely with incarcerated populations, schools, governments, non-profit organizations and communities to take a stand against the greatest influencers on crime: poverty, racism, illiteracy, inadequate mental health and social services and lack of community collaboration. Natalie encourages others to think dynamically about social accountability and believes justice is more than an institutionalized response, it is something we build collaboratively.

5 America’s Juvenile Injustice System | Marsha Levick | TEDxPhiladelphia
Gepubliceerd op 10 feb. 2016
The collective promise of the Pledge of Allegiance to secure “justice for all” is one of America’s great unfulfilled promises, says Marsha Levick, Co-Founder of the Juvenile Law Center. Juvenile courts originally operated in an informal, private manner. The history of juvenile law has seen the pendulum swing back and forth from small progressions to scandalous miscarriages of justice such as the “Kids for Cash” story that came out of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Levick illustrates the heartbreaking reality of what happens to children in the justice system whose rights and voices go unconsidered, Levick emphasizes the need to break the cycle of injustice for the two million children arrested each year in our country.
Marsha Levick is working to shift public thinking and legal policy necessary to achieve true justice for our country’s most vulnerable citizens: kids. As a children’s rights lawyer and national expert in juvenile law, she has dedicated her career to advancing and protecting the legal rights and interests of at-risk youth. Levick founded the Juvenile Law Center, where is currently Deputy Director and Chief Counsel, with three of her Temple Law School classmates in 1975. Levick has been the architect of Juvenile Law Center’s strategic participation in key cases across the country, which has led to several landmark Supreme Court rulings, including: eliminating the death penalty for juveniles (Roper v. Simmons, 2005); eliminating juvenile life without parole sentences in non-homicide cases (Graham v. Florida, 2010); and ending mandatory life without parole sentences for juveniles in homicide cases (Miller v. Alabama, 2012).

15 Prosecutorial Ethics and the Right to a Fair Trial: The Role of the Brady Rule (Session 3)
Back to menu
Gepubliceerd op 19 okt. 2009
January 26, 2007
Speaker: Barry Scheck, Director, Innocence Project
Presented by: the Case Western Reserve Law Review
Summary: The Law Review Symposium: The Innocence Project in the Criminal Justice System
Barry Scheck, is a Professor of Law at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City, where he has served for more than twenty-seven years, and is the Co-Director of the Innocence Project. He is Emeritus Director of Clinical Education, Co-Director of the Trial Advocacy Programs, and the Jacob Burns Center for the Study of Law and Ethics. Prof. Scheck received his undergraduate degree from Yale University in 1971 and his J.D. from Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California at Berkeley in 1974. He worked for three years as a staff attorney at The Legal Aid Society in New York City before joining the faculty at Cardozo.
Prof. Scheck has done extensive trial and appellate litigation in significant civil rights and criminal defense cases. He has published extensively in these areas, including a book with Jim Dwyer and Peter Neufeld entitled, Actual Innocence: When Justice Goes Wrong And How To Make It Right. He has served in prominent positions in many bar associations, including the presidency of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Since 1994 he has been a Commissioner on New York State’s Forensic Science Review Board, a body that regulates all crime and forensic DNA laboratories in the state. From 1998 – 2000, he served on the National Institute of Justice’s Commission on the Future of DNA Evidence.
For the past fourteen years, Scheck and Neufeld have run the Innocence Project, now an independent non-profit, affiliated with Cardozo Law School, which uses DNA evidence to exonerate the wrongly convicted. The Project also assists police, prosecutors, and defense attorneys in trying to bring about reform in many areas of the criminal justice system, including eyewitness identification procedures, interrogation methods, crime laboratory administration, and forensic science research. To date, 189 individuals have been exonerated in the United States through post-conviction DNA testing since 1989. You can read about each of these cases at the Innocence Project website.
In Brady v. Maryland (1963), the United States Supreme Court held that a defendant’s due process rights preclude a prosecutor from suppressing material evidence favorable to the defendant. Since the Court’s ruling, the Brady rule has shaped the boundaries of a defendant’s right to a fair trial and defined the standards of justice in the criminal system. The Case Western Reserve Law Review Symposium will explore the role of the Brady rule in various elements of a criminal case, including plea negotiations, scientific evidence and capital sentencing. Participants will also discuss the Brady rule’s impact on prosecutorial ethics in the current justice system. Please join us as many of the country’s leading experts examine the issues that are critical for maintaining each citizen’s right to a fair and just trial.
16 Why Would Anyone Object to DNA Evidence?
Gepubliceerd op 10 jun. 2011
http://bit.ly/lgDIHy – Sometimes a prosecutor doesn’t want to admit that they’re wrong. Other times they don’t want to face the victim’s family after a conviction is overturned.
Question: Why would anyone—even prosecutors—object to the widespread use of DNA evidence in all cases?
Barry Scheck: Well this has changed over time. At first when we began our work at the Innocence Project, and there’s a problem within the system generally, there were all kinds of what we call “procedural bars.” To getting a post-conviction DNA test, much less being able to offer the results in court. In fact, there were no states that permitted post-conviction DNA testing and there were only nine states that said that you could raise a claim of newly discovered evidence to show that you were innocent at any time. So many states had time limits, statutes of limitations.
In Virginia, there was an infamous 21-day rule. Twenty-one days after the trial, even if you’d found new evidence of innocence you could put it into court as newly discovered. In other states is was one year or two years or three years or six months. I mean, there were all kinds of problems like this. So we were able to get passed now in 48 states, statutes that allow for post-conviction DNA testing. And Massachusetts is one of the states that doesn’t have a statute, but you can, based on what they call common law, you can usually get a test result, but they should pass the statute.
So the point here is that from the very beginning, there were all kinds of impediments to even getting this evidence into court. And at first when we went into court and we said to the prosecutors, “Oh, well look at this case. There’s an obvious basis to doing a DNA test and it could prove somebody innocent and maybe identify the real perpetrator, why don’t you consent to it?” And in many instances they would. In many instances they did not. Not for particularly rational reasons, I must tell you. Which is really, I guess the subject of your question, why would anybody resist this? Right? And then even after the DNA proof came in, why would prosecutors still say, “Oh no, no, we’re going to uphold the conviction.” And that is a question for cognitive psychology. And a lot of people thought about it. I think there are a number of factors. The first is very simply, it’s human nature. People don’t like to admit they’re wrong. We’re all like that. Number two, and maybe well I don’t want to give Primacy to any of these, they’re all worked together. There’s the problem that when somebody’s convicted, there’s a victim, or a victim’s family in the case of a homicide. And the prosecutor has said, “Well, this defendant is a horrible person, a beast, an animal in some instances they would say, “kill this person, committed this most heinous of crimes.” And now you have to go back to the victim’s family and say, “Guess what. We were wrong.”
Well that’s very difficult for a victim or a family and we see it so often in the sexual assault cases. In particular, there was an eye witness misidentification so hard for somebody that’s been subject to such a brutal crime to now — who made an honest mistake in making a misidentification to now say, “Oh my God, I was wrong.” I mean you feel doubly, triply violated. It’s a horrible burden to carry.
So there’s a lot of reluctance to upset victims within a community. So that’s a second factor that inhibits prosecutors sometimes and police from acknowledging a wrongful conviction or even opposing an effort to get a DNA test.
And then finally, and this may be more subtle, but I think it’s a very, very important factor because in a lot of cases we would find the prosecutor, who was standing in the way of the DNA testing and refusing to acknowledge the obvious implications of the new evidence, wasn’t even in office when the crime was committed. And the reason, I think, that some of these prosecutors were so reluctant to go along with what was I think a clearly just outcome or even to find out the truth or get better scientific evidence that would shed light on the truth, is that they’re afraid of the next case.
So if we have an exoneration in an eye witness identification case and now I’m trying a new case in front of the jury, the jury had just heard about this big exoneration and they’re always big news. They should be too. And they’re going to be thinking; maybe I shouldn’t trust this eye witness. Or maybe that case involved police misconduct, maybe I shouldn’t trust the police. Or it was a false confession; maybe I shouldn’t be so sure that a confession means that somebody is really guilty. And on it goes. So I think that they’re worried about the next case.
The truth is that if you are a prosecutor that has the reputation for going back and looking back at old cases and correcting errors, I think that you’re reputation for reliability goes up.

19 “Human Values & The Innocence Project” by Barry Scheck
16 feb. 2017
The Obert C. and Grace A. Tanner Humanities Center at the University of Utah presents the 2017 Tanner Lecture on Human Values “Human Values and The Innocence Project” by Barry Scheck, attorney and co-founder of the Innocence Project.
Started in 1992, the Innocence Project is a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to reforming the criminal justice system to prevent injustice. Scheck and the organization have used DNA evidence to exonerate almost 300 wrongfully imprisoned people, many of whom were on death row or had been incarcerated for decades. In his lecture, Mr. Scheck discusses that this is more than just about solving crimes; that it is a civil rights movement. In 1992, no state allowed post-conviction cases to be exonerated by DNA testing. The fact that DNA testing has been able to right the wrongs of the convictions of innocent individuals makes it a moral imperative to pursue the truth and justice for those incarcerated wrongly. Court and police reform are key factors in the process of restoring the true meaning of the justice part of the justice system. The criminal trial system has traditionally been an adversarial model but needs focus on “just getting it right.”
“As America works to close the gap between its promise and reality we must look to the example of Barry Scheck’s Innocence Project,” said Tanner Center Director Bob Goldberg. “It is a critical force in creating the just society.”

29 Why you should care about access to justice | Andrew Pilliar | TEDxRenfrewCollingwood
Gepubliceerd op 25 nov. 2013
If you needed a lawyer, could you afford one? Most of us will experience a legal problem at some point, but the vast majority do not seek legal help. Dealing with legal problems without legal help can lead to injustice, frustration and delay, and even poor health. Andrew Pilliar explains why we should all care about access to justice, and outlines some solutions.
Andrew Pilliar worked as a litigation lawyer, both at a boutique firm and at one of Canada’s largest law firms. In the course of his work, he saw legal access problems first-hand by representing a number of pro bono clients. Many of these clients had good cases, but couldn’t afford a lawyer and didn’t qualify for legal aid. Troubled by this problem, Andrew returned to graduate school to try to figure out a better system.
Andrew is currently completing a PhD in law at the University of British Columbia, where his research focusses on improving access to civil justice. He has worked on federalism matters in Sri Lanka, studied comparative constitutional law in Hungary, and clerked at the British Columbia Supreme Court. Andrew has been a Junior Fellow at Massey College at the University of Toronto and was an Action Canada Fellow in 2012/2013.

36 Policing in America needs to change. Trust me, I’m a cop: Renee Mitchell at TEDxOxbridge
TEDx Talks
Gepubliceerd op 19 aug. 2013
Policing has become a conveyor belt of criminal apprehension feeding the criminal justice system so that statistics for arrest and prosecution remain high. It is time for policing to return to Peel’s original vision of policing and for police to deter crime and disorder while maintaining community relations.
Sergeant Renée Mitchell is a longtime public servant at the Sacramento Police Department since just before the turn of the century. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of California, Davis, a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco, a Master of Business Administration from the California State University, Sacramento and a Juris Doctorate from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law.

TEDx Talks
Gepubliceerd op 8 feb. 2016
To understand troubled relations between police and many communities today, we must first understand the national and global history of policing and acknowledge that law enforcement has not always stood on the right side of justice. In this candid talk informed by his 48-year career in law enforcement, former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey says law enforcement needs to shift its perceived mission from one of enforcing the law to one of protecting the rights of all. When the latter becomes the priority, communities experience not just safer and more secure neighborhoods but the presence of justice. And the thin blue line that allegedly separates good from evil instead becomes a strong thread woven throughout the community, helping to hold together the very fabric of democracy.
Retired Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey spent his 48-year law-enforcement career developing policing strategies, evidence-based initiatives, organizational accountability and neighborhood-based programs, while leading organizational change in police departments. As president of Major Cities Chiefs, Ramsey created the Leadership Executive Institute to help prepare police chiefs of the future. Working with the Anti Defamation League and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, he led the creation of “Law Enforcement & Society: Lessons from the Holocaust.” More than 90,000 local, state and federal law enforcement personnel have viewed the program. With the The National Constitution Center, he developed a program for law enforcement that focuses on the role of policing in a complex democratic society. And he was co-chair of President Barack Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, which sought ways to strengthen police community relations across the country.

In 1981, William Dillon was convicted for a murder he did not commit. He spent 27 years in jail until DNA evidence positively identified the two guilty perpetrators. His story is not unique.
