Cited to Support

May's allegation that the Burge torture cases resulted in wrongful convictions, death sentences, exonerations, pardons, and extensive post-conviction litigation after allegations of systemic misconduct by law enforcement officers were independently investigated and exposed. May cites the Death Penalty Information Center as supporting background information regarding the impact of the Burge cases and the resulting review of affected convictions and death sentences. May relies upon this source to support his argument that independent investigation may be necessary to uncover, evaluate, and remedy widespread misconduct affecting criminal convictions.
