Attorney Veronica J White Featured in New Report on Prosecutorial Misconduct

Case Outcome

According to a new investigation by the New England Center for Investigative Reporting:

Massachusetts prosecutors have violated defendants’ rights to a fair trial regularly and without punishment, even as wrongfully convicted victims of tainted prosecutions have spent years in prison before being freed, decades of court rulings show.

The investigation featured the role of prosecutors in the 1981 murder conviction of James J. Rodwell, whom is being represented by White & Associates in a motion for a new trial. For more details, see Prosecutors Who Break The Rules Go Unpunished, Leading To Unfair Trials And Unjust Imprisonment on WGBH's website and Wayward prosecutors go unpunished from the Cape Cod Times.
