A number of our area’s best legal minds, including UH Law Center professor Sandra Guerra
Thompson, met last week to discuss eyewitness identification procedures at the Eyewitness
Identifications Working Group Meeting at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville.
Thompson, Director of the Criminal Justice Institute at the Law Center, along with about 50 of
her colleagues, worked on drafting a new eyewitness procedure policy that will help reduce
wrongful convictions.
In January 2012 a new law will be passed that will include the new policies discussed in last
week’s meeting.
