RALEIGH – The Campbell Law Innocence Project and the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence (NCCAI) will partner to provide a work-in-progress screening of the documentary “In Pursuit of Justice” at the law school on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 6 p.m. The screening is open to members of the local Raleigh community.
“In Pursuit of Justice” is a harrowing documentary focused on Raleigh native Greg Taylor, who spent 17 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. The film closely tracks Taylor’s fight for justice and exoneration, featuring family and witness interviews, and area news coverage from the initial arrest onward. Taylor’s case forever changed the North Carolina criminal justice system and the state’s legal landscape. The special hearing which ultimately resulted in Taylor becoming a free man was held at Campbell Law. The documentary was produced by Gregg Jamback and Jamie Huss.
Following the screening, Taylor will participate in a panel discussion alongside his co-defendant, Johnny Beck. NCCAI executive director Chris Mumma and 2010 Campbell Law graduate and NCCAI staff attorney Cheryl Sullivan, both of whom worked to have Taylor released from prison, will also participate.
