Show Me Criminal Procedure

---

In 2013, the State of California freed Kash Delano Register, whom the state had
imprisoned for 34 years for a murder he did not commit.10 Mr. Register had been
convicted on the basis of false identification testimony, and the lawyers who won his
release produced proof that police and prosecutors had concealed from Register’s trial
defense team evidence of his innocence, including reports of eyewitnesses who would
have contradicted the testimony of prosecution witnesses, along with evidence of how
police had used threats of unrelated criminal prosecution to pressure the witnesses
against Register. Absent the work of students and faculty at Loyola Law School in Los
Angeles, Register might remain incarcerated today. Prosecutors opposed his release
until 2013. In 2016, the Los Angeles City Council approved a $16.7 million settlement
payment to Register.11 The city has paid tens of millions of dollars in other recent
settlements related to police conduct.
