Janet Reno to visit Wisconsin
April 14, 2004
Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno will be visiting Wisconsin
next week.
On April 21, Reno will present a lecture titled "Wrongful
Convictions, National Security, and Sentencing" at 3 p.m. in Room
2260 of the University of Wisconsin Law School. The lecture will be
followed by a reception in the Atrium. Both the lecture and the
reception are open to the public.
The next day, Reno will testify before the Avery Task Force at 9 a.m.
in Room 412 East of the State Capitol. She will discuss police and
prosecution investigation practices in wrongful conviction cases. Rep.
Mark Gundrum (R-New Berlin) formed the task force to examine our
criminal justice system and make recommendations to avoid wrongful
convictions, such as that of Steven Avery, who spent more than 17 years
behind bars for a crime he did not commit.
