Why would an innocent person confess? Research from alumnae @stephaniecardenas.bsky.social and Patricia Y. Sanchez and Distinguished Professor Saul Kassin reveals a surprising culprit www.gc.cuny.edu/news/when-gu... @innocenceproject.bsky.social @quattronecenter.org @spspnews.bsky.social

Georgia's new wrongful conviction compensation law takes effect in July, allowing exonerees to receive up to $100,000 for every year incarcerated. If all 51 of Georgia's exonerees since 1989 were to request a full payout, the state would owe approximately $46 million.

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.”

1/ 🚨 The House passed the HALT Fentanyl Act, doubling down on failed drug policies instead of advancing real solutions to the overdose crisis. We condemn this misguided bill and urge the Senate to reject this flawed policy.

It's genuinely shocking to compare media coverage (and just the details) of Hilary Clinton's email scandal to "waves hands". Lawyers have been repeatedly clear Musk/Trump are breaking the law, and yet....

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.

📣 new paper out in #JARMAC! We found that witnesses who experienced inattentional blindness for a crime were only less accurate and confident when asked cued recall questions. When asked a free recall question, they were just as acc and conf as noticers.

This looks like part of a massive multi-faceted attack on scientists and universities from the Trump admin.

They have cancelled funded federal grants, frozen NIH panels, promoted anti-scientific figures and conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr in positions of oversight.

This is just beginning…

Now NSF panels are cancelled! Just a disaster for science.
