The upcom­ing sixth annu­al Forensic Science and Law Conference, Justice for All, will fea­ture more than 40 nation­al experts dis­cussing caus­es of and solu­tions to wrong­ful con­vic­tions. Former FBI Director William Sessions, Massachusetts U.S. Attorney Michael J. Sullivan, U.S. Senator Arlen Specter, acclaimed foren­sic sci­en­tist Henry Lee, and DNA exonerees Kirk Bloodsworth and Thomas Doswell are among those who will offer pre­sen­ta­tions dur­ing the April 20 – 22 event at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. ​“The waves of exon­er­a­tions in this coun­try based on foren­sic sci­en­tif­ic advances have dra­mat­i­cal­ly altered the cli­mate for crim­i­nal jus­tice reform in this coun­try and made para­mount the need for reforms to both har­ness the grow­ing poten­tial and address the lim­i­ta­tions of foren­sic sci­ence in met­ing out jus­tice for all,” not­ed John T. Rago, an assis­tant pro­fes­sor of law at Duquesne University and exec­u­tive direc­tor of the Cyril H. Wecht Institute of Forensic Scientific Law, insti­tu­tions that will co-host the event with the Washington-DC based orga­ni­za­tion The Justice Project.
