wrongful conviction advocacy

Wrongful conviction advocacy focuses on identifying and addressing cases where individuals are wrongly sentenced for crimes they did not commit. Advocates work to reform the justice system, promote fair legal procedures, and provide support for those exonerated through new evidence, such as DNA. Their goal is to prevent innocent people from being imprisoned, ensure accountability, and improve overall justice system integrity. This often involves legal representation, policy change efforts, and raising awareness about issues like prosecutorial misconduct, flawed evidence, and systemic biases.
