Nathson Fields, who was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to die, will speak at the University of Virginia this next Wednesday. Mr. Fields will speak about his experience of spending 20 years in prison (eleven of them on death row) for a crime he did not commit before being freed in 2009. His case exemplifies the shocking injustice of a system that puts innocent people at risk of death.
Mr. Fields will be joined by Steve Northup, Executive Director of Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (VADP) and Matthew Engle, Professor of Law and Legal Director of the Innocence Project at the University of Virginia School of Law, both of whom have legal experience in death penalty cases.
