Picking Cotton: A Victim's Perspective on Wrongful Convictions

Authors Jennifer Thompson and Ronald Cotton join UW Law School faculty to discuss victims in the criminal justice system, particularly those that have been wrongfully convicted. Their New-York Times bestseller, "Picking Cotton: A Victim's Perspective on Wrongful Convictions," describes how Thompson wrongly identified her rapist in 1984 which resulted in Cotton spending 11 years in prison before DNA evidence cleared him of the crime.
