Exoneree Ted Bradford from Washington State spoke about his experience on false confessions last Friday at the Annual Conference for Washington Defender Association.

On September 29, 1995, a woman was raped in her home in Yakima, Washington. Six months later, on April 1, 1996, Bradford was arrested on an unrelated charge.

FAKTENSUCHER PLUS:

Colorado Man to Be Released Today Posted: April 30, 2012 12:30 pm Innocence Project client Robert Dewey is expected to be released today from the Mesa County Courthouse after DNA testing proved his innocence in a 1994 Grand Junction murder. It will be the first DNA exoneration in the state. District Attorney Pete Hautzinger has joined the Innocence Project and other defense counsel in seeking Dewey’s release. MSNBC reports: Dewey consistently maintained his innocence. At Dewey’s original sentencing, then-Mesa County District Judge Charles Buss was quoted in local media as telling the defendant that, “I am happy to impose it (a life sentence) on you.”

Dewey replied: “There’s still a killer out there.” See the MSNBC coverage.
