Hundreds of innocent people have spent years behind bars, only to be freed after DNA evidence proved they were not guilty. Despite the role DNA plays in determining who is and isn't innocent, Massachusetts remains one of only two states without a law allowing convicts access to DNA testing on evidence that could prove their innocence. Why is the Bay State falling behind when it comes to laws that could keep the innocent out of jail? We discussed with Gretchen Bennett, the executive director of the New England Innocence Project; Betty Anne Waters, who earned a law degree and worked for 18 years to free her brother who was wrongfully convicted of murder; and Brandon Garrett, law professor at the University of Virginia and author of "Convicting the Innocent: Where Criminal Prosecutions Go Wrong".
