    Black Americans are the most likely to be wrongfully convicted of a crime and represent up to 60% of all exonerations in the country despite making up less than 14% of the total population.

    In Minnesota, wrongful convictions have been a focal point of political campaigns.

    Before she was a state rep, Amy Klobuchar was a prosecutor.

    From 1999-2007, Klobuchar oversaw a 600% increase of Black men being sent to prison, including wrongfully convicted Myon Burrell.

Brings home the real need for reforms, reviews, etc of convictions, process, representation, evidence, and the like of criminal court proceedings, broadly speaking....
