Addition of Relevant Cases

I think important cases of exoneration should be featured in the article to connect the topic with real-world examples. The Central Park Five, Malcolm Alexander, and Levon Brooks would be a good place to start. Shan2434 (talk) 02:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your list would be more impressive if it included some non-American cases. Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton would be an obvious one. HiLo48 (talk) 03:06, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think you raise a good point. I think that adding a new section briefly describing an important case or two (and their impact) and then linking to "List of miscarriage of justice cases" and "List of wrongful convictions in the United States" within the article itself will drive more traffic to those pages which have details from a large volume of cases in different countries. Currently, those important links are sitting at the bottom of the page under "specific cases" and are difficult to locate. Shan2434 (talk) 13:14, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
