  • (Visit: www.uctv.tv) Over the last two decades no criminal defense lawyer in America has had a more profound impact on advancing the rights of the convicted than has Barry Scheck. In 1992, when DNA testing was still in its infancy, Scheck, along with his colleague Peter Neufeld, founded The Innocence Project, which has since figured prominently in the release of hundreds of prison inmates. Scheck also achieved lasting fame for defending O.J. Simpson when the former football star was charged with murder. Scheck spoke with California Lawyer contributing editor Martin Lasden about his extraordinary career and the controversies surrounding it.

      Agree 💯 % they are marvelous in the work they do. Too many INNOCENT PEOPLE in prison. Especially the Death Row prisoners. Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz. I agree Barry John Grisham books are wonderful person and writer The Innocent Man is his only non fiction book. Everyone should read it. I’ve read all his books marvelous.

      His argumentation was manifestly poor but due to a poor prosecution team, he managed to dupe the jury (who admittedly couldn't follow the DNA evidence).

    • @craigSheder
      @craigSheder Před 3 měsíci +1

      The problem is that Barry Scheck will not allow anyone else to talk. With him, it is a one sided converstion. The interview of Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld with Charlie Rose proved what kind of person he is. Scheck kept interrupting Charlie Rose. Charlie Rose tried to be objective about the murders but Scheck did not want the viewers of the interview to hear what Charlie Rose had to say.

    He has done much good but he will never redeem his reputation without affirming OJ Simpson’s guilt and admitting his role in obfuscating the evidence that led to acquittal. He intellectual arguments defending his actions are disingenuous at best.

      The Disingenuous Party.
      Reporter or rival candidate: Did you . . . ?
      Disingenuous Party Candidate or Barry Scheck: Let me say this: na-na-na-na-nah, na-na-na-nah, na-na-nah, na-na-nah. (Blithering -- unrelated to question.)
      OJ Simpson Trial Juror: "Jury foreman Amanda Cooley said that she had no explanation for that incriminating evidence and stated that it did not factor into her decision of reasonable doubt."
      That's why you were there!
      The whole quote is actually:
      Geraldo Rivera asked several jurors what their reasonable doubt was concerning the blood drops found next to the bloody footprints near the victims that were photographed hours prior to Simpson's blood being drawn. Those samples were sent to Cellmark for testing, not the LAPD, and were shown to be Simpson's blood with chances of error being 1-in-9.7 billion. In response, juror Carrie Bess said that she thinks the blood belonged to Simpson's children; juror Marsha Rubin-Jackson said that she thinks Simpson's blood was left there next to the bloody footprints prior to the murders happening; and jury foreman Amanda Cooley said that she had no explanation for that incriminating evidence and stated that it did not factor into her decision of reasonable doubt.

    If only this interview could have been delayed until 2016 when OJ juror Carrie Bess confessed as follows (source: The Wrap, CZcams):
    Interviewer: Do you think there are members of the jury that voted to acquit OJ because of Rodney King?
    Bess: Yes.
    Interviewer: You do?
    Bess: Yes.
    Interviewer: How many of you do you think felt that way?
    Bess: Oh, probably 90 percent of them.
    Interviewer: 90 percent. Did you feel that way?
    Bess: Yes.
    Interviewer: That was payback.
    Bess: Uh-huh.
    Interviewer: Do you think that’s right?
    At that question, she holds up her hands.

      This would be impressive if we didnt watch the trial. They came to the correct verdict. The timelines exonerated OJ. He had no time to committ the murders and get rid of all the blood and weapons and look presentable for the limo driver. Thats not it. He also was visible in public at the airport airplane and the hotel in chicago immediately after the murders and not one person who saw him said his demeanor was friendly, he signed everyones autographs and there was no blood on him or any cuts on his finger

    DNA should only be used to convict. Never to be used to prove innocence. If a suspects DNA is not found on the victim or the crime scene, then he was involved in the crime in some other way and is just a guilty as the main perpurtraito.
