What is it like to be convicted and imprisoned for a crime you did not commit? Ken Wyniemko, a man who experienced this ordeal, will describe it Tues., March 8, at 6 p.m. on the campus of Wayne State. The talk will be held in the Bernath Auditorium of the Undergraduate Library, and is free and open to the public. "Presenting stories on wrongful convictions will help us all service justice. DNA has opened a plethora of new approaches in criminal procedures and criminal law. It is vital for everyone in the field of Criminal Justice to be aware of and informed about all the tools that truly serve justice," said Wayne State Criminal Justice Professor, Marvin Zalman. Wyniemko, a former Clinton Township resident, was wrongfully convicted of rape and robbery, in a case where witnesses were coached, evidence was buried and conflicting leads were ignored. He spent almost nine years behind bars. He initiated a federal lawsuit and one against Clinton Township as well. A video --"Plea Bargaining and Wrongful Convictions" -- and several presentations by law professors will complete the program. Presenters include: Norman Fell, of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, who will speak on the imminent expiration of the Michigan DNA Statute; Kathy Swedlow, Thomas M. Cooley Law School, on the Cooley Law School Innocence Project; and David Moran, Wayne State University Law School on the difficulty of obtaining compensation for exonerated prisoners.
