Barry Scheck might be best known for being part of OJ Simpson's winning defence team.
But his work as the godfather of The Innocence Project has had worldwide impact for thousands of people who have been wrongly convicted.
He changed the way that DNA was used to prosecute and prove innocence.
Now he’s devoting much of this time to looking at the ways AI can be a force for good, and bad, in the courtroom.

Would you ever have thought that the music you listen to could be used to convict you of a crime?
The organisation Art Not Evidence wants to stop the use of creative and artistic expression as evidence in criminal trials.
In this podcast we hear from two people involved in that campaign - Kier Monteith KC and Elli Brazill.
Both Keir and Elli believe there has been an alarming increase in rap music being used to convict people. They say police and prosecutors even use listening to rap music, posting videos, or writing lyrics to suggest a motive for carrying out crime.

Dr Felicity Gerry is a star of the legal profession. She saved a woman in the Philippines moments before she was due to be executed and helped free a man wrongly convicted of murder in Australia.
Dr Gerry’s main passion is challenging the law around joint enterprise - where someone can be jointly convicted of the crime of another.
She persuaded the UK Supreme Court this can only be if someone intends to join in - not if they merely foresaw that the other person might commit a crime.
Dr Gerry says thousands are still in prison for murders they were not involved in.

Nurse Kimberley Long was 27 when she found the body of her boyfriend Ozzy in their living room - he’d been brutally murdered.
She was sent to prison in California for a crime she didn't commit.
When The Innocence Project's Justin Brooks heard about her case, he knew she was innocent. There was no blood splatter on her clothing and the victim's time of death didn't match up to where Kim was.
Although she’s innocent, Kim says she continues to pay the price for her wrongful conviction and is still trying to get back into nursing.
But she is eternally grateful to Justin - the man who proved her innocence.

Every week Mark Newby gets letters from people desperate for his help. Those people are behind bars, they say they are innocent and have no way of proving it.
They need a criminal appeal lawyer to take on their case - and that's where Mark comes in. But he must choose who he is going to fight for.
In this episode Mark talks about how he decides what case to pursue. He says he has to be tough - the resources aren't there to help everyone. And then when he starts working on a case, it can take years, even decades, to be freed.
Then when they are lucky enough to be released, the wrongfully convicted get less help than those who are guilty and who have served their time.
Then their chance of getting ANY compensation is minimal. Mark is fighting to change that.

Luis Vargas was in prison for 16 years for charges including rape and kidnap - crimes he didn’t commit.
His life fell apart, his wife divorced him, and he thought he had no hope of freedom.
