Incredibly damning testimony from Kristin Knouse in which she is forced confirm that she selectively released and excerpted texts with @DMSabatini to create a false impression about the nature of her relationship with him. The Whitehead Institute relied on Knouse’s misleading production of texts in its investigation of Sabatini. The investigation and the investigative report were the basis for Sabatini’s dismissal from Whitehead, the elimination of his tenure at @MIT and his loss of funding from HHMI. I have only one ask of these institutions: Listen to this testimony and ask yourself why the Whitehead, MIT and HHMI should not be forced to revisit its findings and the resulting actions that resulted. Institutional character and morality matters. You convicted Sabatini and destroyed him on the basis of false information provided to you. How can you not revisit the harm that you have caused to David now that the facts are known and been confirmed by a jury of seven women and six men in a three week trial with the benefit of the actual evidence and testimony? When a man is convicted of a crime that he did not convict based on false testimony, and the courts ultimately reverse the decision based on DNA evidence, he is released from prison and he receives compensation for the damage caused to him by the state. As far as MIT, Whitehead and HHMI are concerned, David is still in prison. It is time that you release him.
