A Detroit-area prosecutor in Michigan's largest county is creating a special unit to look at possible wrongful convictions.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy says it's not in response to any rash of bad cases, but that no prosecutor wants to keep an innocent person in prison. Worthy predicts the "overwhelming majority" of Wayne County convictions still will stand up.
In May, a Detroit man in prison for 25 years was released after tests showed his mother's gun couldn't be linked to a 1992 murder.
Worthy tells The Associated Press that an earlier conviction integrity unit was disbanded in 2013 because of a lack of money. Since then, cases presented by lawyers for the convicted have been assigned to other staff.
Worthy says the new unit probably will focus on murder convictions.
