So finals kind of killed this blog for a bit. I owe my dad some money. I did decently on my finals. It was tough being locked in a study room in the library for 10 hours a day for two weeks but it seems to have paid off.
For the summer, I am working for the Innocence Project here in Santa Clara. Their goal is to challenge the factual basis of some convictions, having some success. It really is a needle in a haystack but when you read the good cases, it is hard to see how they were convicted at all. I was assigned to the California DNA Project wing of the project, which is even more interesting. We challenge the old types of tests that have been touted as science for years and only work on those cases. I cannot talk about the details of any of my cases but reading about murders and rapes all day get to be interesting.
I’ll have more to talk about next week as it is Lara’s birthday on Friday.
