2009-10-19 Tribune: Northwestern Innocence Project

Here's the article to which I am responding: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2009-10-19/news/0910180592_1_wrongful-conviction-prosecutors-students-at-northwestern-university

Dear Editor,
Thank you for your story in today's paper about the state's attorney's attempt to pressure Northwestern University to release student grades concerning the Innocence Project. This seems a blatant misuse of the power we entrust to the state's attorney. The latter's actions seem intended to bully and intimidate those who would seek rectify a miscarriage of justice. Kudos to the University for standing by the students and to you for reporting on this troubling development. I will continue to follow this story with interest.
