Conviction Integrity Unit and Wrongful Conviction Reviews
At a glance
- What: A commissioner asked whether the department reviews its own investigations after the Wayne County Prosecutor's conviction integrity unit helps overturn a conviction. An assistant chief said the department is notified and looks at allegations of wrongdoing. Corporation Counsel Conrad Mallett said the city is contesting before the Michigan Supreme Court the use of stipulated orders rather than adversarial hearings, because of multi-million dollar damages exposure, and that the law department will report back in writing; another commissioner warned against attacking conviction integrity units.
