Cleared of a felony? Not always

Cleared of a felony? Not always | up2-21 | Scoop.it

Since 1989, more than 2,000 people convicted of serious crimes in the United States have been exonerated, according to the National Registry of Exonerations, a joint project of Michigan and Northwestern law schools.

The number of wrongfully convicted whose names were never cleared will never be known.

Miscarriage of justice is bad enough. But for many of the exonerated, what happens after they're freed from prison is just as bad because their felony record isn't automatically expunged.
