Prosecutors in the Brian Walshe murder trial “did an excellent job of introducing circumstantial evidence & providing the breadcrumbs that led the jury down the path toward finding premeditation,” Professor @danielmedwed.bsky.social tells Mass. Lawyers Weekly. masslawyersweekly.com/2025/12/18/b...

This is a great reminder that governors can–and SHOULD–use their pardon powers more frequently. Pardons are powerful and can help fix injustices in the criminal legal system, but, sadly, across the U.S., they're severely underused.

On KQED’s Close All Tabs podcast, Professor Daniel Medwed discusses the challenges of selecting a fair jury in an era when high-profile cases unfold in real time across millions of screens. @kqednews.kqed.org www.kqed.org/news/1206650...

A consistent theme in Missouri of resistance to innocence claims www.themarshallproject.org/2025/04/03/m...

We are asking MA to pass legislation that prevents police from lying to people they are interrogating and to record interrogations. Take a listen to this episode about false confessions and, if you are in MA, please ask your legislators to co-sponsor H1847 / S1136. hiddenbrain.org/podcast/did-...

I am so proud of my former student Rachel Cohen (Harvard Law ‘22) for taking a stand against this attack on the legal profession. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Brittany Holberg was sentenced to death in 1998 after Texas prosecutors failed to disclose that their key witness at trial was a paid informant. This case's display of prosecutorial misconduct serves as a stark reminder of enduring problems in the death penalty.

On this day in 2020, Louisville police officers shot and killed 26-year-old Breonna Taylor during a no-knock raid in the middle of the night.

"Suspicion by Association" explores four troubling policing contexts in which individuals become the subject of criminal suspicion based on the company they keep. It's forthcoming in Arizona Law Review, and I welcome all feedback. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Massachusetts has the opportunity to address police lies during interrogations & prevent false confessions. If you live in MA, ask your state legislator (malegislature.gov/Search/FindM...) to co-sponsor HD.3010/SD.1443, Acts Preventing False Confessions. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/09/m...

Massachusetts should be the next state to ban deception in police interrogations www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/09/m...

Can confirm.

The outpouring of support is not necessarily based on questions about the investigation or about his potential guilt,” Professor Daniel Medwed tells @nytimes.com. “It’s an outpouring of support for a form of vigilante justice.” @danielmedwed.bsky.social

Take a moment to read about my beloved Judge. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/23/m...

"When I started this, didn’t have a strong objection to the death penalty... But in looking closely at each of these cases I see very troubling signs that make me think that the moral authority to impose an extreme penalty like this is just not available." www.texasstandard.org/stories/texa...

Even though the legal system is premised on the theory that it is better for 10 guilty people to go free than 1 innocent person be convicted, potential jurors overwhelmingly feel that it is equally harmful to have a “wrongful conviction” as a “false acquittal.” law.duke.edu/news/brandon...

Most of the exonerated people in our community had been sentenced to die in prison by being given mandatory sentences of life without the possibility of parole. Neither the death penalty nor death by incarceration should be options in our system. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/02/01/l...

It’s unsurprising that an attorney general/prosecutor is doing everything he can to prevent someone from telling their story of wrongful conviction to the legislature. We face resistance at every level, regardless of the strength of the evidence of innocence. www.austinchronicle.com/news/2024-12...
