Author Dorothy Budd talks about her book "Tested: How Twelve Wrongly Imprisoned Men Held Onto Hope" with exoneree Christopher Scott.

About the book: “Tested: How Twelve Wrongly Imprisoned Men Held onto Hope,” by Dorothy Budd and Peyton Budd, explores the lives and stories of twelve men who were wrongly convicted in Dallas County. All the men spent time in prison before the new evidence helped win their release. The book is based on the exonerated men’s personal journeys of hope, forgiveness and redemption as told to the authors in one-on-one interviews.

About the event: Join author Dorothy Budd and Christopher Scott, one of the men profiled in “Tested,” in a discussion Scott’s story and the implications of wrongful convictions. Tiffany Dowling of the Law School’s Actual Innocence Clinic will moderate.
