The University of Cincinnati’s Center for Law and Justice will be inaugurating its Innocence Week beginning September 14th. The week of activities centered on wrongful convictions will include a presentation by Scott Hornoff, a police officer from Rhode Island who was wrongly convicted of murder before being freed on the basis of DNA, presentations by DNA expert Barry Scheck, and performances of the award-winning play The Exonerated. The Center for Law and Justice is best known for launching the Ohio Innocence Project in 2003. The project seeks to exonerate wrongly imprisoned inmates by using new information and technologies such as DNA identification. “The Innocence Project is truly a passion we have. When you are of (financial) means, you can hire careful representation. But when you are poor or not knowledgeable about the law, you are not represented as well,” said Lois Rosenthal, who along with her husband have made significant contributions to the Justice Center.
