Why would an innocent person confess? Research from alumnae @stephaniecardenas.bsky.social and Patricia Y. Sanchez and Distinguished Professor Saul Kassin reveals a surprising culprit www.gc.cuny.edu/news/when-gu... @innocenceproject.bsky.social @quattronecenter.org @spspnews.bsky.social

Georgia's new wrongful conviction compensation law takes effect in July, allowing exonerees to receive up to $100,000 for every year incarcerated. If all 51 of Georgia's exonerees since 1989 were to request a full payout, the state would owe approximately $46 million.

He spent 19 years behind bars before he was exonerated. Now, he hopes state will compensate him

11Alive calculated that if each of Georgia's 51 exonerees since 1989 pursues compensation for their collective 610 years lost, the state would owe around $46 million

Even though the legal system is premised on the theory that it is better for 10 guilty people to go free than 1 innocent person be convicted, potential jurors overwhelmingly feel that it is equally harmful to have a “wrongful conviction” as a “false acquittal.” law.duke.edu/news/brandon...

1/ 🚨 The House passed the HALT Fentanyl Act, doubling down on failed drug policies instead of advancing real solutions to the overdose crisis. We condemn this misguided bill and urge the Senate to reject this flawed policy.

It's genuinely shocking to compare media coverage (and just the details) of Hilary Clinton's email scandal to "waves hands". Lawyers have been repeatedly clear Musk/Trump are breaking the law, and yet.... abcnews.go.com/Politics/tim...

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

This looks like part of a massive multi-faceted attack on scientists and universities from the Trump admin. They have cancelled funded federal grants, frozen NIH panels, promoted anti-scientific figures and conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr in positions of oversight. This is just beginning…

Now NSF panels are cancelled! Just a disaster for science.

I’m an NSF panel reviewer that was scheduled to meet today. Just got notice that all NSF panels were canceled today. I reviewed some innovative proposals in support of students. Devastating if these scholars don’t get to do this work. For the love of science & students I hope this is just a delay.💔
