Prosecutor Wants Access to Journalism Students’ Grades, Email | The Agitator:

"So you’re a prosecutor in a county that has seen well more than its fair share of wrongful convictions over the years, including in several capital cases. Many of those innocence cases were uncovered by a journalism class at a nearby university. That class has just uncovered yet another possible wrongful conviction. What do you do?

If you’re Cook County, Illinois State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, you start harrassing the journalism students."
