Loyola Law School hosts wrongful conviction panel
The Wrongful Conviction and Restorative Justice Panel, part of Loyola Marymount University's Bellarmine Forum on Restorative Justice, was held Oct. 22 on the Loyola Law School campus in downtown Los Angeles. The event focused on the case of Franky Carrillo, whose murder conviction was overturned in 2011. Carrillo, convicted at 16, spent 20 years behind bars before his release. Panelists at the event included the three primary attorneys who worked on Carrillo's case, including his attorney Ellen Eggers, a deputy state public defender; Juan Mejia, deputy district attorney in Los Angeles; and Brent Ferreira, who was in charge of the habeas litigation unit of the L.A. district attorney's office at the time of Carrillo's release. Clinical professor Scott Wood, director of the Center for Urban Resilience Restorative Justice Project, moderated the event. The group discussed lawyering lessons learned from the Carrillo case and how to support defendants released after wrongful convictions. — Ben Adlin
