AGACL conference & innocence
Next week is the annual meeting of capital prosecutors, AGACL (Association of Government Attorneys in Capital Litigation). This year presents an odd series of CLE events.

Wednesday offers a class called �THE MYTH OF INNOCENCE� given by a long time critic of innocence claims that argues the State never gets its wrong (and quoted by Justice Scalia in Kansas v. Marsh for just this point), Joshua K. Marquis, District Attorney, Clatsop County District Attorney's Office, Astoria, Oregon. He also argues that if there are innocents convicted that their number is so minuscule as to not require meaningful discussion. This argument seems to echo with another class �DNA -- ADMISSIBILITY AND MANIPULATION� presumably about how someone else�s DNA at the crime scene doesn�t mean a person shouldn�t be executed.
