Nikki Zinger

Nikki should be one of them. #wrongfulconviction #innocence

Nikki continues to fight for her freedom. While she waits, she still has basic needs we can help meet: keeping her website online to share her story, and supporting her commissary so she can afford essentials. Will you stand with Nikki? #innocence #wrongfulconviction

.@freenikkizinger is also waiting for justice in Arkansas. The pardon and parole board voted unanimously to commute her sentence, then Gov. Asa Hutchinson denied her request. @AsaHutchinson @radleybalko open.com/pub/radleybalk…

These “crimes” included events later determined to be accidents, deaths by suicide, and crimes that were fabricated. #wrongfulconviction #innocence

33 yrs ago @freenikkizinger was arrested for the murder of her mother. Despite DNA testing that refutes her involvement & a unanimous vote to commute her sentence, Nikki remains behind bars. Please support her journey for justice. #WrongfulConvictionDay linktr.ee/freenikkizinger

Today is #wrongfulconvictionday and last week @exonerationlist passed a grim milestone: the 30,000 mark for the number of years lost to #wrongfulconvictions.

A judge dismissed a murder charge against @GaInnocence client Joey Watkins, ending a decades-long legal fight to exonerate him. Joey, who spent more than 20 years in prison, "cried like a baby" upon being told that his charges were dropped. cbsn.ws/46o8SFl

The 10th annual, Wrongful Conviction Day is quickly approaching. Who are you planning to show support for on October 2nd?

Toforest Johnson has spent more than two decades on death row for a crime he's always said he did not commit. In this @lavaforgood podcast “Earwitness” hosted by @bshelburne, learn more about his story and the fight to clear his name. open.spotify.com/show/2VOlRH4fK…

This isn't because there are fewer #wrongfulconvictions in Arkansas. Rather, this number speaks to the roadblocks the state sets up for doing #innocence work.

Women like Nikki face a unique set of challenges when it comes to overturning their #wrongfulconviction. Some of these issues are detailed in this excellent reporting from @theappeal: theappeal.org/womens-wrongfu…

Together, the 770+ exonerated former clients of #InnocenceNetwork organizations spent over 12,700 years wrongfully incarcerated. The longest of those wrongful convictions was 47 years. This should shake us to our core and move us to action. #WrongfulConvictionDay

Congratulations Mr. Simmons! #exoneration #innocence

EXONEREE NEEDS HELP: Glynn Simmons spent FORTY-EIGHT+ years in prison -- and 2+ years on Oklahoma's death row -- for a crime he did not commit. At 70, he is trying to begin life on the outside -- and he is battling cancer, too. If you have the means, please consider supporting him: GoFundMe.com/f/glynnrsimmons

Here is the biggest part of Adnan Syed's news conference. We now know definitively that Kevin Urick committed a Brady violation by failing to disclose that an alternate suspect threatened to kill Hae, leading to 23 years of wrongful conviction⬇️

Jeff Titus has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the cold case detectives who withheld evidence that an alternate suspect was identified by two eyewitnesses: woodtv.com/news/target-8/…

Adnan Syed said there are two new pieces of information he believes can help him. He wants an investigation by Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown. cbsloc.al/450dhNm

Private prison communications companies are known for charging often exorbitant amounts for phone calls, even within the same area code. A growing movement is abolishing the practice. prisonjournalismproject.org/2023/09/17/pho…
