California Innocence Project

The California Innocence Project (CIP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to freeing wrongly convicted individuals in California. Founded in 1999, it works to investigate and litigate cases where evidence suggests a person is innocent. The project focuses on those who have exhausted their legal options and rely on DNA testing and other scientific methods to prove their innocence. By advocating for justice reform and increasing public awareness about wrongful convictions, CIP aims to prevent future injustices and ensure that the legal system is fair for everyone.
