McCormack, clinical professor of law and the co-director of the Michigan Innocence Clinic, updated us on the status of Lorinda Swain's case.

"The Supreme Court remanded Lorinda's case to the Court of Appeals for a full briefing and specifically directed the court to answer the question whether a procedural rule can prevent someone, whom the court has held is likely innocent, from getting relief. It is unsettling to have to go back to the Court of Appeals on the case, but we are encouraged by the Court's question. The case is fully briefed in the Court of Appeals and we are awaiting an argument date. We will let you know when that is, as we would like a good turnout for Lorinda for that argument."

This is another step for Lorinda, but apparently a positive one for those who have maintained their innocence and even been proven innocent, but held in prison on technicalities. We will make it known to you as soon as we receive a date from Bridget.
