The Reality of Making a Murderer: How True Crime Documentaries Affect Minnesota's Justice System

Event Description

Deadline to Register: February 16, 2016

Has the explosion of true crime documentaries like "Serial" and "Making a Murderer" had an impact on the day-to-day justice system in Minnesota? Are defendants more likely to make post-conviction motions? Are jurors more skeptical about evidence against defendants?

Find out from an expert panel:  a judge, a prosecutor, and two certified specialist criminal defense attorneys.
