Mark A. Godsey Associate Professor of Law
Faculty Director, Lois and Richard Rosenthal Institute for Justice, Ohio Innocence Project
As lead counsel for the Ohio Innocence Project, Mark had a banner month. The first two cases that his students took to court, Clarence Elkins and Chris Bennett, resulted in exonerations. Clarence Elkins was serving a life sentence for a murder and double rape, and walked free after seven years in prison. Chris Bennett had the Fifth District Court of Appeals overturn a lower court decision that had denied him exoneration on a post-conviction innocence petition. The Court of Appeals remanded with instructions to throw out his conviction. Bennett remains in prison awaiting resolution of the case, and a decision by the prosecutors as to whether they will retry him (although this seems unlikely, as the court of appeals ruled that his evidence of innocence was sufficient to demonstrate that a "manifest injustice" had occurred").

The Elkins case received press coverage around the world. Some of the newspaper articles in Ohio in which Mark was quoted include the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Journal and Canton Repository.

Canton Repository articles:

• http://www.cantonrep.com/index.php?ID=258616&Category=15&fromSearch=yes

The case was also covered by Good Morning America, Gretta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera and the Today show. Mark appeared on Larry King Live to discuss the case. A documentary filmmaker that has been following the case was on hand for Elkins’ release, as were cameramen for A&E’s American Justice, which will air a new, one-hour episode on the case at 11 pm EST on February 11, 2006.

• Larry King Live transcript.

Regarding the Chris Bennett case, Mark was quoted in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Journal and Canton Repository, and appeared on television news programs across the state.

Coverage included:
•Enquirer
•Plain Dealer
•Beacon Journal
•Canton Repository

Mark was also quoted and pictured in the Cincinnati Enquirer regarding the use of DNA databases to solve old crimes and in the Enquirer and Cin Weekly about the exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Center called "The Innocents." Mark was quoted in the Cincinnati Enquirer and appeared on Channel 9 news about the local white collar crime prosecutions of executives of Berkeley, manufacturers of Enzyte. Mark was invited by Wooster College to give the college’s annual Bell Lecture on April 17, 2006. Mark’s topic will be, "Wrongful Convictions and the Innocence Revolution." In addition to giving a public address, the Bell Lectureship involves spending two days at Wooster College to speak to various college classes and meet with local public officials including local state judges.
