Professor Zerwick, along with the Wake Forest University School of Law, will introduce her book, Beyond Innocence: The Life Sentence of Darryl Hunt, and the Darryl Hunt and Hunt Trials Collection at 5pm in the Worrell Professional Center on September 29, 2022.

Darryl Hunt was twice wrongfully convicted of the murder of a local newspaper editor and served nearly twenty years before the crime was solved with DNA evidence in 2003. The collection is a living archive of trial transcripts, motions, exhibits, newspaper articles, personal notes and other correspondence between Darryl Hunt, his attorneys and supporters. They were gathered by Wake Forest Law Professor Mark Rabil, his attorney from 1984 to 2007, over the decades-long fight to overturn Mr. Hunt’s conviction. During this time, Wake Forest Law Professor Mark Rabil worked tirelessly to prove Mr. Hunt’s innocence. He was aided in his efforts by an award-winning series of articles by Professor Zerwick in the Winston-Salem Journal.
