state conviction integrity units

State conviction integrity units are specialized teams within a state's prosecuting office dedicated to reviewing past criminal convictions. Their goal is to ensure that convictions are accurate and just, by investigating potential errors, such as new evidence or identified misconduct. These units help correct wrongful convictions, enhance public trust in the justice system, and uphold fairness by independently evaluating cases to prevent or remedy wrongful outcomes. They operate transparently to maintain integrity and accountability in the legal process.
