Exonerating the Innocent
Many have said in various ways that it is better to set 10 guilty men free than convict one who is innocent.

Attorney Michael Semanchik is one who is devoted to the cause. If you are interested in learning more about the workings of a project dedicated to innocence, tune in to hear Michael discuss the process.
