UPDATE: 5:06 PM, 4/10: The article was a training document not meant for publication.  We are handling the issue internally and have put together systems to ensure this mistake does not happen again.

CvilleRightNow recently published a report that told a fictitious story about an individual who does not exist — Deion Taylor.  Our article claimed this man was represented by UVA’s Innocence Project and that he received $580,000 from the General Assembly.  Neither is true.  It also quoted the former director of the Innocence Project — Deirdre Enright — when, in fact, Ms. Enright had never been interviewed about this non-existent person or payment.

We have removed this fictitious story from our website and want to convey our sincere apologies to Ms. Enright, The Innocence Project at UVA School of Law and to our readers.
