Wrongful Conviction

Written By Laine Carlsness

Various studies estimate that 5% of all prisoners are innocent. DNA evidence has exonerated several hundred people since it was introduced in 1989. These exonerations have helped identify disturbing trends and causes in wrongful conviction, the leading being the unreliability of eyewitness testimony. So why, despite all the news about misidentifications, do people continue to put such profound faith in the memory of eyewitnesses?

I'm Laine Carlsness – the broad behind Broadsheet Design and an East Bay-based graphic designer specializing in identity, web and print. I truly love what I do – creating from-the-ground-up creative solutions that are as unique as the clients who inspire them. I draw very few boxes around what a graphic designer should and shouldn't do – I've been known to photograph, illustrate, write copy, paint and hand-letter to get the job done.
