talking now, you know, over 100,000 people in prison for crimes they didn't commit. that is deeply troubling if you care about truth and justice. >> is anybody getting it right? well, philadelphia. they have had, larry krasner's office. in queens, i applaud this work. they hired a former attorney from the innocence project who is leading up the conviction integrity unit. so in my view, it's not a coincidence that that office is having more exonerations. most is just one of their prosecutors who suddenly is in charge of actually policing essentially themselves. so in the smaller counties that we don't hear about, it's injustice being compounded with this false pretense of review and people are getting buried, ignored. my mailbox is full of letters from people in prison begging to get their cases looked at. i look at as many as i can. we find a complete picture of truth and in a few cases achieve you jupz. but working with conviction integrity units as they exist
