Two books out this year from Valena Beety, AB ’02, JD ’06, reflect the commitments that have guided her career for the last 13 years. She’s the author of Manifesting Justice: Wrongly Convicted Women Reclaim Their Rights, and the coeditor of The Wrongful Convictions Reader. Now deputy director of the Academy for Justice at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, she was a staff attorney at the Mississippi Innocence Project and the founding director of the West Virginia Innocence Project.
The Show spoke with Beety to learn about the women’s story and how it fits into the U.S. justice system.
