Yo @captain_domo been loving Bingus this season? With the standings being so close, how will tiebreaks work for getting into the finals?

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

@benshapiro thanks for the recommendation. These were delicious @mrsfields

https://t.co/IXB1clGZoh reminds me of talks in class. The kid has a disability and does not understand why he is being arrested #WCRIT

It was sad to hear attorneys say that they know they've had innocent clients they couldn't spend enough time on #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

It was crazy to learn that when a defendant goes to appeal they often get the same counsel. So much for ineffective counsel #wcrit

Learned this week how the media has a big influence when writing about cases. This is something that can lead to #wrongfulconviction #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

Hearing the story of Cameron Willingham stressed the importance of forgetting preconceived notions of someone when they're on trial #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

Today's #WrongfulConvictions class showed me that we definitely need more accessibility support for deaf and hard of hearing #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

Learned a lot from @FarrellyLegal in class today. It's important that biases be put away while someone is on trial #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

Reading about prison culture was very interesting. Conditions can be a lot worse than I thought before #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

Just learned that 75-80% of kids in foster care end up in jail/prison at some point #WCRIT

A9. I require an attorney. I choose to remain silent. #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A8. As a student I can raise awareness that wrongful convictions are a thing, and get my friends to help spread the word #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A7. Wrongful convictions for deaf can occur due to difficulty with communication. Police might not understand without an interpreter #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A6. I don't think people realize how many cases there are, and what little time public attorneys can spend with their clients #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A5. I would take away misdimeanors for weed posession. This would give attorneys less cases so they can focus on more intense cases #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A4. For counsel to be effective they should have a full understanding of the case, and while in court have their full attention on it #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A3. Public attorneys, for indigent defense, have a huge case-load and can be inneffective by not knowing that much about the case #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A2. One thing that leads to false confessions is the suspect being worn down by police, and being told they go home if they confess #WCRIT

[Alex McHugh @Siberiaxe]

A1. One misconception is that things other than DNA such as ballistics and hair are very reliable pieces of evidence #WCRIT
