FURTHER READING/NEWS The Murder of Pamela Vitale - The Forensic Debate (Jan 12, 2013) Teen Serving Life for Murder: Jack the Ripper or Framed? The Chilling Effect of the Gag Order Comment on Zuniga Denial of Habeas Petition October 2011   Wrongful Convictions: How many innocent Americans are behind bars? Radley Balko, July 2011 Reason Magazine "Many states have special public defender offices that take over death penalty cases after a defendant has exhausted his appeals. These offices tend to be well-staffed, with enough funding to hire their own investigators and forensic specialists. That sometimes stands in stark contrast to the public defender offices that handled the same cases at trial. Perversely, this means that in some jurisdictions, a defendant wrongly convicted of murder may be better off with a death sentence than with life in prison ... the pace of genetic exonerations appears to be limited primarily by the amount of money and staff that legal advocacy groups have to uncover these cases and argue them in court, the amount of evidence available for testing, and the willingness of courts to allow the process to happen, not by a lack of cases in need of further investigation."
