  • Resumen

  • In this, our first episode of The Injustice Files, we reach back into the roots of DNA testing in England and then the US, with the first exoneration in the US using DNA technology.

    In 1987, Kirk was found guilty and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a nine year old girl near Baltimore MD. Some years later, Kirk read about DNA technology and pushed his lawyers to use it to test evidence. Eventually, even after a second trial failed to exonerate him, Kirk persisted and the lab found evidence implicating another.

    This is fitting as the case of Kirk Bloodsworth happened in Maryland the same state in which this podcast is developed and recorded. Kirk lived on the Eastern Shore, which is quite different from where we live in Rockville and Silver Spring MD.

    A case related to this was discussed in  our Introduction episode (S1EP0) Part VII Spotlight on Justice, we looked at the case Kirk drew upon to push testing that eventually exonerated him and returned him home; the Pitchfork case from Lechistier England.
