I don't mean to be glib, but it's not brain surgery. Everybody knows.... I mean, we had seven public inquiries in Canada that determined what the causes of wrongful convictions are. We all know what they are. Everybody in the field knows what they are: mistaken identification, false confessions, jealous informants, etc. There are six or seven absolutely well-established systemic causes of wrongful conviction, so it's not an unworldly request of those who are lay people on the commission to learn about them and to understand them.
All they have to do is read the seven public inquiries into wrongful convictions—and Canada is renowned for this—and I guarantee that these lay people will be absolutely well qualified to understand why the people coming before them are there and what caused the misstep in the criminal justice system that led to the miscarriage of justice. I have no doubt that it's a task that these people can assume.
