The NCRJ Applauds Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice For Appointing an Expert Panel to Review the Jesse Friedman Conviction.
Roxbury, Massachusetts—November 8, 2010—Today the National Center for Reason and Justice—a non-profit legal and advisory group for the falsely accused and wrongfully convicted—applauded Nassau County (NY) District Attorney Kathleen Rice for assembling a panel of experts to review the Friedman child-molestation case. Last August, the NCRJ suggested a group of experts to DA Rice’s office. The NCRJ is especially pleased with the selection of Innocence Project co-founder Barry Sheck. Attorney Harvey Silverglate, an Advisor to the NCRJ, says: “Sheck’s presence on the panel is of extraordinary importance. He is very tough. He understands all the ways innocent people get convicted … Sheck is utterly above reproach, and very experienced.”
The NCRJ is optimistic that Jesse Friedman will finally receive a measure of justice.
