Marvin Anderson was only 17 when he was arrested for being particularly cruel to rape with a young white woman. The victim mistakenly thought of Anderson twice, once in a series of face photographs and once in a lineup. In the case, Anderson 's lawyer did not call a suitable witness. Anderson committed a strong crime at the crime scene, but he was convicted by a white jury when he was sentenced to a 210-year-old in prison at the age of 18. Anderson 's false belief was based mainly on misunderstanding of the victim' s lineup and invalid aid. In prison, Anderson failed several attempts to keep his innocence and clean his name. Anderson was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for the life of parole even if he committed a crime. He continued his efforts to prove his innocence and explored it in 2001 when DNA testing finally proved that he is not a rapist. When Marvin learned that his name was finally cleared, he had only two requests. "The apology of the words will be very good, then I want to grab my name from the state computer file and still list the rape crimes." In 2002, Marvin's hope was met It was. About twenty years after he graduated from high school and accidentally convicted, he was pardoned by the governor and his record formally excluded this sin. Marvin had always dreamed of being a firefighter being interrupted by wrong beliefs, and he received damages from the state for $ 1.2 million.

Tonja Jacobi and Dylan Schweers of Pritzker Law School of Northwestern University in Chicago asked the US Supreme Court to investigate in some way to elucidate the relationship between gender, identity, and interruption. At this stage, nine judges must make joint decisions, and the ability to dominate the floor can determine the fate of the incident. By documenting the court hearings, Jacobi and Schweers found that disruption is very sensitive to gender, regardless of whether the women were playing a higher role. The number of times male judges fell down to female judges was three times that. There is a clear rule prohibiting judges from doing so, but female judges have been tripled by male lawyers than male colleagues. "Even if women reach such a high peak in that career, they will be obstructed not only by their colleagues, but also by clear men and men," Jacobi said.
