BARRY SCHECK
(Barry Charles Scheck)
Check is one of the co-founders of the Innocence Project which has exonerated dozens of convicted "criminals" most serving jail sentences, by proving with DNA evidence that the perpetrator could not have been the person who was convicted using DNA and other scientific methods. In the process, he and his associates have uncovered a great deal of defense attorney malpractice and prosecutorial misconducts and in many cases criminal acts committed by the prosecutors.
Barry Charles Scheck is an American lawyer. He received national media attention while serving on O.J. Simpson's defense team, collectively dubbed the "Dream Team", helping to win an acquittal in the highly publicized murder case. Scheck is the director of the Innocence Project and a professor at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City.
