Wrongfully convicted man giving 'False Confessions & Flawed Interrogations' presentation in Potsdam

Posted

POTSDAM -- The presentation "False Confessions & Flawed Interrogations" by Huwe Burton will be offered by Clarkson University on Thursday, Oct. 8, from 5:30-6:30 p.m.

In 1991, Huwe Burton was wrongfully convicted and spent 19 years in prison for a crime he did not commit before he was released on parole in 2009.

In 2019, Mr. Burton was exonerated after a judge determined he was coerced into falsely confessing to murdering his mother when he was just 16 years old.

This presentation and Q&A take you through Mr. Burton's personal experience and are designed to both educate and open a dialogue about the future of the criminal justice system.

Spots are limited; register to attend at bit.ly/huweburton.

This event is sponsored by the Clarkson University Office of Student Life & Chief Inclusion Office.
