I am in the Czech Republic lecturing over the next few days about the Innocence Movement. I am so heartened and inspired when I go to countries like this to find kindred souls who are on the ground educating, teaching, and fighting for justice for the innocent. DNA specialist Daniel Vanek is that person in the Czech Republic, and I am honored to be able to to spend time with someone who is this passionate about the movement. I will write more later when I’m back to the States, but wanted to share now a video that was on national television in the Czech Republic this weekend about Daniel and his fight for forensic controls and the wrongfully convicted.
