- Abstract:
The article discusses the imprisonment of Tony Wright for the 1991 rape and murder of 77-year-old Louise Talley, despite being proven innocent through the use of DNA tests. Topics include high rates of corruption and excessive force practiced by the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police Department (PPD) beginning in 1967 under police chief Frank Rizzo, misconduct by the PPD to force Wright's signing of a testimony and produce evidence, and the Innocence Project's representation of Wright.
