Investigative journalists play a crucial role in uncovering and exposing wrongful convictions. They do this by:

Investigating and reporting on cases where there is evidence of wrongful convictions, such as flawed evidence, coerced or false testimony, or misconduct by law enforcement.Bringing attention to these cases and making them more visible to the public, which can lead to increased pressure on the criminal justice system to rectify the situation.Working with lawyers and other experts to uncover new evidence, re-examine old evidence, and bring to light previously unknown facts about the case.Providing a platform for individuals who have been wrongly convicted to tell their stories and raise awareness about the flaws in the criminal justice system.Investigative journalism has been instrumental in helping to secure exonerations and bring justice to individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. It helps to keep the criminal justice system accountable and ensure that the rights of the accused are protected.
