Stephen Truscott. Guy Paul Morin. David Milgaard. Donald Marshall. These are just a few of the people in Canada who have served time in prison for crimes that they did not commit. They each spent years, even decades, working to clear their names.

A new project in Vancouver is looking to help others in need of support in proving their innocence. The UBC Innocence Project [3] is the first such project in Western Canada and only one of a handful across the country. Stark Raven speaks with Tamara Levy, the co-ordinator of the UBC Innocence Project .  (This interview was recorded in October 2007).
