    Powerfully explores the struggles faced by those whom DNA testing has exonerated after years behind bars.

    One of the powerful things about After Innocence is that, no matter what your position on punitive justice, you can't argue with the film's position.

    Taylor does her cause no real favors by trotting out only the most articulate, most clearly railroaded exonerees. It should be just as chilling to learn that even the shady get screwed.

    Bothered by Barry Scheck's role (he helped get O.J. off), but otherwise this is a nice piece of work.
