exonerated individuals

Exonerated individuals are people who have been found innocent of crimes for which they were previously convicted. This often occurs after new evidence emerges, such as DNA testing, or after legal reviews that reveal mistakes in the original trial. Exoneration not only clears their names but also acknowledges the wrongful loss of their freedom and often highlights flaws in the justice system. These individuals may face significant challenges reintegrating into society due to the stigma of having been wrongfully convicted. Exoneration is a crucial step toward justice and accountability for both the individuals and the legal system.
