Hennepin County Attorney's Office may open more cases where wrongful conviction is suspected

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says her office will consider more wrongful conviction claims. She announced Tuesday they will establish a conviction integrity unit following Monday’s release of Marvin Haynes from a Stillwater prison. A judge vacated his murder conviction after the Great North Innocence Project took up the case. Also, Metro Transit will soon deploy a code of conduct for riders.
