Picture Imperfect?FREE
By CHRISTIAN NOLAN
Criminal defense attorneys have long wanted better protections for clients who stand accused of a crime in which eyewitness testimony is the only evidence. In Connecticut, their poster boy for mistaken identification is James Tillman, who was wrongfully convicted of rape and imprisoned for 18 years before being freed by DNA evidence.
