How the Cook County Prosecutor Has Made it Harder for the Wrongfully Convicted to Find Justice w/Dan Hinkel
Today, Hunter was joined by Journalist Dan Hinkel to discuss his newest piece about the Conviction Integrity Unit in Cook County. While CIUs are an imperfect vessel to right the wrongs of a wrongful conviction, they still serve an essential function when they operate properly. The problem is since Eileen O’Neil Burke took over as the new State Attorney in Cook County the CIU hasn’t exonerated a single person. Dan joins the show to help us understand how that has happened.
