Steve Weinberg, a veteran investigative journalist, is researching specific cases of prosecutorial misconduct that lead to wrongful convictions. He would like to hear from anybody--prisoners, their families and friends, lawyers, expert and lay witnesses, jurors, medical examiners, police officers, judges--with evidence of prosecutorial misconduct.

Weinberg, who lives in Columbia, Mo., is a former newspaper reporter and magazine staff writer turned book author. For this project, he is working with the Center for Public Integrity, a consortium of journalists, lawyers and researchers in Washington, D.C., that specializes in uncovering systemic problems. Working closely with Weinberg is a Center staff lawyer, Neil Gordon, who is based in Washington, D.C. Funding for the prosecutorial misconduct project is coming from several sources, most prominently the Open Society Institute, New York City. 

The research will be disseminated by the Center for Public Integrity, quite possibly in the form of a book from a major publisher. Weinberg and Gordon plan to name names of prosecutors who cross the line, especially in jurisdictions where wrongful convictions have occurred repeatedly.
