In recent years, there has been significant debate around the admissibility and use of junk science in criminal courts, with multiple recent exonerations demonstrating the negative impact of junk science and false expert testimony on the lives of innocent people. For this short paper, use the National Registry of Exonerations (here: https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/detaillist.aspxLinks to an external site.) and select a wrongful conviction case in which unreliable science or expert testimony played a deciding role. For your chosen case, discuss the main psychological issues that you observe in the case, and at least one research-informed approach that could have been prevented these issues from arising or mitigated their impact.
Your short paper must be submitted as a Word file or PDF document. It should consist of no less than 1 double-spaced page of APA-formatted text, and include in-text citations and references to at least 5 scholarly sources (including but not limited to class readings) as well as your chosen case.
I have chose a reading and will attach.
