The Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ Innocence Project and the Office of Public Advocacy spearheaded the effort to exonerate the Fairbanks Four — four men convicted in 1999 of the 1997 beating death of a Fairbanks youth. This panel discussion of the exoneration featured two of the lawyers involved in the case, as well as a forensic scientist who provided expert testimony.
Dr. Allen Ault, Dean of the College of Justice & Safety at Eastern Kentucky University, spoke on his 40 years of experience in corrections on March 2, 2015, at the UAA/APU Consortium Library on the Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ campus.
"No More Silence in the Dark" was an event cosponsored by the Justice Center at Â鶹ÎÞÂë°æ (UAA) and the Omega Xi chapter of Alpha Phi Sigma, the national criminal justice honor society. The event was presented as part of National Criminal Justice Month 2014 and "UAA Says No More" week.
