An in-depth article featuring first-year law student Christopher Ochoa and his life at the UW Law School, "the institution that won his freedom," appeared on Sunday, March 7 in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Reporter David Casstevens traveled to Madison to interview Ochoa, who was exonerated in January 2001 after serving 12 years in a Texas prison for a crime he did not commit. Students from the Wisconsin Innocence Project were instrumental in calling for examination of DNA evidence to prove Ochoa's innocence.
