A new committee may consider several changes, including making it harder to discipline lawyers, as well as making it harder for the general public to find out if a lawyer has been disciplined.

Should NC change how lawyers are disciplined? Attorneys, politicians disagree

Gavel, court, justice, books

Chris Mumma can be bold, brash and in your face when she disagrees with you. Maybe that's what makes her the right attorney for Daniel Green.

Follow the Truth: The attorney fighting to free Daniel Green

Christine Mumma

Daniel Green's attorney fights for people who have spent decades behind bars convicted on flimsy evidence.

<p>TAKE TO AVOID THIS HAPPENI &gt;&gt;&gt; ON DECEMBER 5TH, CHRIS ARRIVED IN SANFORD, NORTH CAROLINA. SHE WALKS IN TO THE IMPOSING BRIGHT RED BUILDING WITH GIANT COLUMNS FLANKING THE ENTRANCE. INSIDE THE COURTROOM IS SMALL. THERE ARE A FEW LAWYERS ALONG WITH CHRIS. THEY SIT AT OPPOSITE TABLES AT THE JUDGE'S BENCH. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE. A FEW LOCAL JOURNALIST. THE CASE IS OLD AND NOT GARNERING MUCH MEDIA ATTENTION THESE DAYS. CHRIS SPENDS A FEW HOURS GOING POINT BY POINT PRESENTING HER ARGUMENTS ON THE MOTION FOR APPROPRIATE RELIEF. SHE SAYS DANIEL GREEN'S CASE WAS BOTCHED AND DESERVES A REVIEW BY THE COURT. THE STATE COUNTERS SAYING EVIDENCE AGAINST DANIEL WAS STRONG. THE TRIAL WAS FAIR, AND THAT THERE WAS NO POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER OUTCOME. &gt;&gt; WELL, THAT AUDIO SETS THE TONE FOR WHAT YOU WILL HEAR TOMORROW IN EPISODE EIGHT OF FOLLOW THE TRUTH. THE PODCAST ABOUT THE MAN THAT MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE YEARS AFTER BEING CONVICTED OF KILLING MICHAEL JORDAN'S FATHER. WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE THE HOST OF THE PODCAST HERE. AMANDA, THIS WEEK'S EPISODE FOCUSES ON ONE SPECIFIC CHARACTER. YOU MENTIONED HER IN THE AUDIO CLIP. WHY WAS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR DANIEL TO GET HER ON THE SIDE? &gt;&gt; WELL, KEN I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY MYSTERY THAT WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHO YOU ARE REPRESENTED BY IN AMERICA. CHRIS HAD A TRACK RECORD. SHE RUNS A NONPROFIT IN DURHAM. THE NORTH CAROLINA CENTER ON THE INNOCENCE, AND THEY TAKE CASES OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WRONGFULLY CONVICTED. THEY HAVE GOTTEN NINE PEOPLE OUT OF PRISON, ON CASES WHERE THEY WERE WRONGLY CONVICTED AND A LOT OF IT DUE TO DNA. DANIEL SAID THIS IS THE LAWYER THAT I NEED AND THIS IS WRITING TO HER AND TRYING TO GET IN HER EAR, AND FINALLY GOT HER ATTENTION. SHE LOOKED AT THE CASE AND SAID THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT WERE NOT RIGHT HERE. &gt;&gt; IT TOOK YEARS, WAFERS THE TURNING POINT FOR HER? &gt;&gt; THE BLOOD EVIDENCE. IN THE CASE THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE SBI PRESENTED AT COURT THAT THERE WAS A SPOT FOUND IN THE LEXUS WHERE THEY SAY JAMES JORDAN WAS KILLED, AND THAT SPOT WAS BLOOD. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THE TESTING THAT WAS DONE, THE CONFIRM TEST, THE FINAL TEST, THE MOST IMPORTANT TEST WAS NEGATIVE. IT WAS PRESENTED AT TRIAL BY THE SCIENTISTS AS IF THIS WAS BLOOD. IF IT'S NOT BLOOD, THAT BASICALLY TANKS THE ENTIRE CASE OF THE STATE. CHRIS LOOKED AT THAT AND IT WAS A PROBLEM THAT IT HAPPENED IN OTHER CASES AND THAT THE SBI INVESTIGATED AND 200 OTHER CASES, AND SO SHE SAID YOU KNOW WHAT, THIS IS A CASE THAT I NEED TO GET INVOLVED WITH. &gt;&gt; ONE OF THE AMENT STAES THAT HAS STUCK WITH ME AND SHE IS WAITING 28 YEARS TO EXHALE. HOW IS HE EXHALING IF AT ALL? &gt;&gt; YEAH, DANIEL EXHALES A LOT. HE IS A TALKER. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT HIS CASE ON THE PHONE. YOU KNOW, HE REMAINS HOPEFUL. HE KNOWS EVERY DETAIL OF HIS CASE, AND HE IS CONSTANTLY WORKING WITH CHRIS TO TRY TO GET ANOTHER DAY IN COURT. &gt;&gt; HOW IS HER TAKING THE CASE IMPACTED DANIEL AND HIS FAMILY? &gt;&gt; I THINK THAT IT'S GIVEN THEM MORE HOPE. THERE HAVE BVEN MANY GOOD LAWYERS OVER THE YEARS THAT HAVE ROHRICHED ON THIS CASE AND WORKED HARD ON THE CASE. I THINK THAT CHRIS WAS THE FIRST PERSON WHO REALLY BELIEVED SHE COULD GET DANIEL BACK IN TO COURT AND GET IN TO HEARING. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO. &gt;&gt; AMANDA LAMB, AGAIN, THIS IS A COMPELLING LOOK AT DANIEL GREEN AND THIS CASE. OF COURSE, YOU CAN GET THE -- FOLLOW THE TRUTH PODCAST WHEREVER YOU DOWNLOAD THE PODCAST. I PROMISE YOU IT'S WORTH A LISTEN.</p>
