Exonerated prisoners to speak at MU
Three men who spent time in prison for murders they did not commit will speak at the Neff Hall Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow.
The event is called Focus on Wrongful Convictions and is sponsored by the [Midwestern Innocence Project] (http://www.themip.org/index.php), a non-profit organization that provides legal and investigative services to innocent people in prison, as stated on MIP’s Web site.
The speakers are Josh Kezer, of Columbia, Dennis Fritz and Darryl Burton. They spent a collective 52 years in prison, according to the MIP.
The invitation states there is a suggested donation of $10 per visitor but MU students are free.
