Joe and Andy just got back from DC where Mississippi Innocence screened to an enthusiastic crowd at the Newseum.

The show included a panel discussion featuring Judge Harry Edwards, Professor Angela J. Davis, John Grisham, and Tucker Carrington.  Dahlia Lithwick moderated a lively discussion on the state of  innocence cases and the use of DNA evidence.

Thanks to Charles Overby, The Freedom Forum and the Newseum for hosting the event and for Chancellor Dan Jones and Dr. Alice Clark for supporting this project with a reception after the screening.
