"Rape victim studying science of memory after man dies serving wrongful sentence"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Rape victim studying science of memory after man dies serving wrongful sentence": The Dallas Morning News today contains an article that begins, "Michele Mallin said she was '100 percent sure' when she identified Timothy Brian Cole as the man who raped her. Her resolve never wavered, Ms. Mallin said, until she learned last May that DNA testing had invalidated her 1985 identification. The revelation came nearly nine years after Mr. Cole died at 39 in a Texas prison from an asthma attack."

The newspaper also contains related articles headlined "Faulty eyewitness convictions date to early 1900s"; "Eyewitnesses still play key roles in cases where DNA, other evidence is lacking"; "18 Dallas County cases overturned by DNA relied on heavily eyewitness testimony"; "Police have a history of violating photo lineup best practices"; "DNA exoneree was mistakenly identified twice in one day"; and "DNA exoneree fell victim to 'drive-by' identification."
