Alan Crotzer: Exonerated After 24 Years
In 1981, based primarily on witness identification and testimony, Alan Crotzer was convicted of kidnapping, burglary and rape, crimes he did not commit. He was sentenced to 130 years in prison. In 2006, thanks to post-conviction DNA testing, Mr. Crotzer proved his innocence and was exonerated. The lecture was attended by approximately 100 students, faculty, and staff and sponsored by Levin College of Law's Criminal Justice Center and Center for the Study of Race and Race Relations.
