An in-depth article featuring first-year law student Christopher Ochoa and his life at the UW Law School, "the institution that won his freedom," appeared on Sunday, March 7 in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.   Reporter David Casstevens traveled to Madison to interview Ochoa, who was exonerated in January 2001 after serving 12 years in a Texas prison for a crime he did not commit. Students from the Wisconsin Innocence Project were instrumental in calling for examination of DNA evidence to prove Ochoa's innocence.

Casstevens's story of Ochoa's life then and now can be read at  http://www.dfw.com/mld/startelegram/8128688.htm .
