Old criminal cases to be reviewed

Minnesota is about to embark on the state's first comprehensive review of violent crime convictions over the last 30 years. The goal is to determine if state-of-the-art DNA testing could prove if the right person was convicted of a particular crime.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Ed Magarian, co-chair of the Innocence Project of Minnesota, which is one of the groups involved in this effort.
