DISCUSSION RESPONSE

For the assignment you are first required to watch the following video (2 part video) on Ronald Cotton. Ronald Cotton was exonerated in 1995, after spending over 10 years in prison for crimes he did not commit. His convictions were based largely on flawed eyewitness identification procedures used by police at the time. If you would like to read more about the sexual assault case before watching the video https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/dna/cotton/summary.html is a link.

Below are the links to the videos:
