About the event
Join the Montana Innocence Project for a screening of "The Phantom" followed by a Q&A with the director, Patrick Forbes, at the Missoula Public Library on September 14 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:45 p.m. "The Phantom" tells the story of Carlos DeLuna, a man who was executed in 1989 for the murder of Wanda Lopez at a gas station in Corpus Christi, Texas. But evidence uncovered by a Columbia law professor and his team point to another suspect. This event will highlight issues related to innocence work, witness misidentification, official misconduct, the death penalty, and the criminalization of LatinX people. Follow the Montana Innocence Project on Facebook @MTInnocenceProject and Instagram @bigskyinnocence for more information.
