72% of Developmentally Disabled Exonerees Were Convicted on False Confessions Fixing it is a bipartisan slam dunk.

 This is at https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/72-of-developmentally-disabled-exonerees

Given that I am writing a book about the wrongful conviction of a friend, I'm bringing this to your attention.

Worth broader circulation, I think.
