PHILADELPHIA - For the first time ever, District Attorney Larry Krasner and the DAO Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU) will release an accountability report about the CIU.
So far, the CIU has supported 21 exonerations of 20 people who were wrongfully convicted. One of whom was exonerated of murder in two separate cases.
According to the District Attorney's office, all but one of these convictions involved official misconduct committed by prosecutors and/or police, such as withholding exculpatory evidence or committing perjury.
