ABA Innocence Committee Reports
Led by Southwestern CrimProf Myrna Raeder and Case Western CrimProf Paul Giannelli, the ABA Ad Hoc Committee to Ensure the Integrity of the Criminal Process has written a number of recommendations and reports, some of which have been made official ABA policy by the ABA House of Delegates, including recommendations regarding crime laboratories, eyewitness identification, investigative procedures, standards for prosecutors, and false confessions. The committee included prosecutors, defense lawyers, judges, scientists and CrimProfs Andy Taslitz of Howard, Vic Streib of Ohio Northern and Jack Chin of Arizona. Additional recommendations are pending. [Jack Chin]
