Cruelest Miscarriage of Justice: Audrey Edmunds Case
Early this year, a state appeals court, citing new medical evidence, overturned this former Waunakee resident's conviction for killing an infant in her care. By then Audrey Edmunds had spent 12 years in prison -- one year shy of her full sentence -- all the while credibly protesting her conviction and defending her innocence. The Dane County Attorney refused to concede that they had obtained a wrongful conviction, then cruelly waited three months after the state Supreme Court declined to take the case to say that they would not retry her.
