In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, LLSA is hosting a viewing of the famous (and highly controversial) documentary, Presunto Culpable (Presumed Guilty). The viewing will take place during the lunch hour this Tuesday, October 25 in Rm. 141. Food will be served.

Presumed Guilty is the true story of a miscarriage of justice, what it took to fix it, and a startling challenge to the system that produced it. It is also a cautionary tale about what can happen when police cross the line in the name of fighting crime, when power is exercised in the shadows, and when the presumption of guilt is placed on the accused rather than the accuser.
