Innocence Project Helps Rally Support for Dechaine Exoneration

Dennis Dechaine's supporters say he has been wrongfully convicted.  And, Dechaine's supporters are an unusually large and diverse group.  In addition to the support of the Innocence Project, Dechaine enjoys the backing of Trial & Error, a group devoted to seeing Dechaine get a new trial. Controversy over the Dechaine case has ranged from statewide legislative debates to hometown disputes.  Even as the Maine legislature considered a resolution that the Maine Attorney General consent to a new trial, local Bath, Maine residents argued over whether Trial & Error should be allowed to participate in the annual Fourth of July parade.
