Our recent event, Exonerated: Ray Krone, from Death Row to Free Man, was a great success. There was an overflow audience with more than 100 people, with more watching online.
Ray Krone told a compelling story of police nabbing him for a murder he didn’t commit and two juries convicting him, primarily on bite mark science. DNA evidence led to his exoneration. Former juror Joe Hedgecock talked about the guilt of sending an innocent man to death row.

Two separate trials found Ray Krone guilty of murdering a Phoenix woman in 1991. DNA evidence later cleared Krone and identified the actual killer. He was on Arizona’s death row when he was exonerated in 2002. Joe Hedgecock was a juror who convicted Krone. Both give a chilling account of their experiences with the criminal justice system and the lessons that can be learned.
