A renowned journalism professor has been accused of framing an innocent man for murder so he could advance his campaign to abolish the death penalty in Illinois.
Alstory Simon, 64, confessed to a double murder in 1999, mainly because of an investigation from a team of students at Northwestern University, led by Professor David Protess.
It helped free death row inmate Anthony Porter just days before his execution, a case that was cited when the state announced a moratorium on capital punishment in 2003 and its abolition in 2011.
Simon was released from the Jacksonville Correction Center last week after the Cook County State's Attorney's Office re-examined his conviction.
Now, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Simon's attorney Terry Ekl claims the team of journalists and their professor, as part of Northwestern University's Innocence Project, framed his client so Porter could become a 'poster boy' in the bid to end executions in the state.
