 artists:\nFriday - August 25th.  7PM \n\nDeath Row Survivor Chol Soo Lee 
 (1983) \n[Thanks to deathpenalty.org and the ACLU]\nChol Soo Lee was 
 convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without 
 possibility of parole. After suggestive procedures by police and 
 prosecutors, which even included hypnotizing one witness, three witnesses 
 identified Lee in a police line-up. Based on this eyewitness testimony, Lee 
 was convicted and sentenced.  In 1977, during a large prison yard brawl, 
 Lee killed another inmate in self-defense. Because he was serving a life 
 sentence for murder, Lee was sentenced to death. A supportive movement of 
 Korean-Americans and other Asian Americans formed in response to publicity 
 about the case. They filed a successful writ of habeas corpus overturning 
 Lee’s first murder conviction. The second conviction and death sentence 
 were then vacated.  He was given time served for the 2nd murder and 
 released in 1983 after spending ten years in prison, eight of them spent in 
 the solitary confinement on death row. It is important to note that while 
 Lee was in fact guilty of killing another inmate (in self-defense) while in 
 prison, the crime could never have occurred had he not been wrongfully 
 convicted in the first place.\n\nWill Franken (comedian) \nLady Monster
