Scope and Contents
This is a collection of copies of trial transcripts for criminal state trials, from Virginia, Missouri, Texas, and various other states, compiled by Professor Brandon L. Garrett. About half of the defendants in these cases were DNA exonerees, the most notable case being that of Earl Washington Jr., an African American man from Virginia who was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder, who spent seventeen years in prison and on death row before he was exonerated. The files in which the defendants were exonerated by DNA evidence have copies of forensic reports and police files.
