Here's my story on the Cook County conviction integrity unit, a group set up to free the innocent. It led the nation in exonerations under Kim Foxx, but I also found quiet failures to address injustices, conflicts of interest and investigations that cost some prisoners years of their lives.
Cook County’s conviction integrity unit has been celebrated for exonerating more people than any comparable unit nationwide. But an Injustice Watch investigation found 21 people who were denied relief by the group before flawed evidence later led to their exonerations.
