Investigative and advocacy work by students of the UW Law School’s Wisconsin Innocence Project and their supervising attorney Keith Findley has resulted in a State Court of Appeals ruling to overturn a 2001 solicitation for prostitution conviction that sent a Lutheran minister in Eau Claire County to jail.

The UW law team found that key evidence – a taped conversation – had been altered by the alleged victims, Panamanian students who wanted to stay in the United States.
