Reconsidering cold cases

In the middle of explaining why he founded the Montana Innocence Project, a nonprofit committed to exonerating innocent Montana inmates, state Sen. Dan Weinberg, D-Whitefish, stops himself mid-thought and poses a question: “Can you imagine spending years in jail for a crime you know—and the evidence shows—you didn’t commit?
