The lat­est edi­tion of the mag­a­zine Justice Denied fea­tures sto­ries of those who have been wrong­ly con­vict­ed in the United States and inter­na­tion­al­ly, includ­ing sev­er­al death penal­ty cas­es. One arti­cle is about Lena Baker, who was posthu­mous­ly par­doned 50 years after Georgia exe­cut­ed her for the mur­der Ernest B. Knight. The mag­a­inze also fea­tures a sto­ry about the inno­cence claims raised by Frances Newton, who was recent­ly exe­cut­ed in Texas. Other arti­cles dis­cuss the Streamlined Procedures Act (leg­is­la­tion before Congress that seeks to lim­it cap­i­tal appeals), inad­e­quate rep­re­sen­ta­tion, and com­pen­sa­tion for the wrong­ful­ly con­vict­ed.
