The Innocence Project

Aim: How can we find information about the Innocence Project and the cases they've exonerated?

Questions to be answered:

1, What is the Innocence Project?

2. Why is it important?

3. Who founded the project and who does the research for the cases?

4. Find a person who was helped by the project. What was the crimethat he/she was accused of and how was the evidence overturned?

5. In your opinion, how was justice served?

Here are some links from the site:

After you have picked a case, you may search for more information about it on the Internet.
