The Innocence Project

The Innocence Project is a non-profit organization that works to exonerate individuals who have been wrongfully convicted of crimes. It primarily focuses on cases where DNA evidence can prove innocence, often highlighting flaws in the legal system, such as mistaken eyewitness identification or inadequate legal representation. By reviewing these cases and providing legal assistance, the Innocence Project aims to correct injustices and reform the criminal justice system to prevent future wrongful convictions. Since its founding in 1992, it has been instrumental in freeing many wrongfully convicted people and raising awareness about issues affecting the justice system.
