Friday Interview: N.C. Actual Innocence Commission Revisited

RALEIGH — There’s plenty of disagreement about the proper punishment for particular crimes, but no one wants to see an innocent person stuck in prison. Before retiring as chief justice of the N.C. Supreme Court, I. Beverly Lake Jr. played a critical role in the development of the N.C. Actual Innocence Commission, a group charged with ensuring that the state is not imprisoning people who can prove their innocence. Lake discussed the commission with Mitch Kokai for Carolina Journal Radio.
