Across the country, discovery reform like Kalief’s Law has helped prevent innocent people from being coerced into taking plea deals in the dark or wrongfully convicted because of withheld evidence. But Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed to roll it back. innocenceproject.org/news/discovery…

“Over the last two decades, extensive scientific research has discredited shaken baby syndrome. Because misinformation and misconceptions about SBS persist, Robert Roberson is still at risk of execution for a crime that never occurred,” said Barry Scheck. thefp.com/p/the-junk-sci…


Rolling back discovery reform will fuel wrongful convictions and low-income New Yorkers will pay the price. Governor Kathy Hochul is siding with prosecutors, not the people. This isn’t about public safety—it’s about politics. Stop the fearmongering. forbes.com/sites/michelle…

We can’t let this happen. Repealing discovery reform means more wrongful convictions and more injustice. Call your lawmakers at 516-916-7076 or fill out our form and urge them to #ProtectKaliefsLaw today. Sen. Stewart-Cousins innocenceproject.org/petitions/new-…
