Introduction:

Over ten years ago we published Satish Sekar's book 'Fitted In: The Cardiff 3 and the Lynette White Inquiry' in order to provoke changes in the law to help to reduce the risk of miscarriages of justice. They will occur in any jurisdiction, but measures can be taken to ensure that they are swiftly corrected. Advances in forensic science techniques offer an opportunity not only to correct miscarriages of justice, but to catch the truly guilty as well. The Lynette White case illustrates this, with the conviction of the true offender, Jeffrey Gafoor in 2003 and in 2008 the first convictions of those who had colluded in giving perjured evidence in the wrongful prosecution of the original defendants. However, there is now an urgent need to disseminate information efficiently and to make it accessible to the public, so that the original purpose of Sekar's book can be accomplished. An informed society is a protected one.

If you are in DC, take the opportunity to visit the museum. It's definitely on my list of things I want to see when I get a chance to visit the Capitol.
