Innocence Project Conviction Overturned

This is our second interview with Seth Miller from The Innocence Project in Florida. This time on the overturned murder conviction of Jim Ates after the FBI's comparative bullet lead analysis was disavowed.

CBLA is a procedure by which scientists claim to be able to link bullets to a particular batch or box on the basis of their chemical composition.
