On Tuesday April 11 at Princeton's School for Public and International Affairs, FWI director David W. Miller hosted a conversation with Jim McCloskey of Centurion, who, since 1983, has helped exonerate seventy men and women who were serving life or death sentences for crimes they did not commit. “We take on the hard cases,” he says, “those that have no DNA available to prove our clients’ innocence. We re-investigate the crime, uncovering lost evidence, finding new evidence, convincing coerced witnesses to come forward with the truth, and overturning false confessions. Please join us in our fight for justice.”

Miller and McCloskey had a “fireside chat” attended by students, colleagues, and members of the Centurion community, after which SPIA professor and founder of the Policy Advocacy Clinic Udi Ofer and two student discussants from the clinic connected the conversation with their work. The event was cosponsored by SPIA, the Policy Advocacy Project, and the Princeton University Faith & Work Initiative.
