171: The Innocence Project's Future Fight Against Racial Bias and Emerging Junk Sciences w/Christina Swarns

Few organizations have been able to demonstrate the injustice of our criminal legal system quite like the Innocence Project, but their fight against the things that manifest that injustice is far from over. Today, I spoke with Christina Swarns, Executive Director of the Innocence Project, to discuss how the organization plans to combat some of the most pressing issues contributing to wrongful convictions. From massively overworked Public Defenders, all kinds of implicit biases, and ever emerging forensic sciences, the Innocence Project hopes that their continued public advocacy will push back against these societal ills.     Guests: Christina Swarns, Executive Director, Innocence Project   Resources: Innocence Project Website https://innocenceproject.org/ Follow the Innocence Project on Twitter: https://twitter.com/innocence?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/innocenceproject/?hl=en Buck v Davis https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/15-8049_f2ah.pdf https://www.oyez.org/cases/2016/15-8049   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 [email protected]  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN
