What Is Owed to the Wrongfully Convicted?

Guests:

Alan Crotzer, exonerated by DNA evidence in 2006 after spending 24 years in prison

Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, majority whip for the Florida House of Representatives

Barry Scheck, co-director of the Innocence Project at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University
