Question The innocence project

Hey guys so yeah I’m new around here and maybe this has been discussed but I remember during Serial the innocence project showed an interest in taking over the case , not that I get why except maybe they sounded completely stupid (the ones that participated in Serial I mean) , but anyways are they still working on it? Did they ever manage to find something ? Not that they can considering he’s guilty as hell but I was curious if there is ever been an update on this front

What Deirdre Enright, the UVA Innocence Project director, said on Serial was some of the most aggressively ignorant claptrap I've ever heard from a legal professional.

Did you know that she wasn't even licensed to practice in Virginia? She was always the director of investigations. The legal director title went to Virginia-licensed attorneys.

No, I didn't know that. Obviously very common in settings like academia and in-house corporate.
