Risinger is heading up the last resort exoneration project thru Seton Hall Law School, helping prison inmates who were wrongly convicted.
"In general, I would say we would be focusing on non-DNA cases," says Risinger.
She says cases without DNA evidence to prove innocence need more help.
"Non-DNA exonerations can be very difficult, very fact-intensive," says Risinger.
Risinger started the project after helping two inmates prove their innocence.
