About this listen

An innocent woman was jailed for 16 years for a murder she did not commit. It wasn't until The Innocence Project became involved that Kirstin Blaise Lobato was finally able to walk free.

Professor Gail Anderson is Canada’s first-ever full-time forensic entomologist and has been working in the field for nearly 35 years. Her work is dedicated to the study of insects, and what they can reveal about miscarriages of justice.

In this discussion with host Kathryn Fox, Gail details her involvement in exonerating Blaise Lobato, as well as Steven Truscott, who at age 14 was wrongfully convicted, and sentenced to death for the murder of his classmate.
