The State of #Texas is again treading in a dangerous direction of potentially executing an #innocent man. In this case, they continue to resist #DNA testing which could prove his innocence, with the latest blow coming Monday from the U.S. #SupremeCourt. ow.ly/WCqp50Yyp3R

Dell Crawford, a #Michigan man #wrongfullyimprisoned for nearly 20 years, was exonerated Tuesday. No physical evidence tied him to the crime to begin with, but new analysis turned up #DNA under the victim's fingernails from two other men. ow.ly/mJFQ50Yyov8

#Wrongfulimprisonment doesn't have to be measured in years to have major negative effects upon those impacted. This story shows just how devastating delays can be, and how much these cases cost taxpayers. texastribune.org/2026/03/19/tex…

A coerced confession sent an #innocent man, Eric Kelley, to prison for more than 20 years. #DNA cleared his name and pointed to another man, who Paterson, N.J., police have never charged. A trial this month is trying to set the entire record straight. ow.ly/aYc950Yxcph

Hear from Thomas Rosa, a #Massachusetts man who was #wrongfullyimprisoned for 34 years. He and his legal team learned Wednesday the state has decided they will not pursue a retrial in his case. wcvb.com/article/mass-m…

Thanks to everyone at Ohio University who came out last night for our program on "Making a Career in Innocence Work." We appreciate all partners who made this event a success -- the school's OIP-u chapter, the Black Law Students Association and Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity.

A #Brooklyn man was freed Monday after 19 years, after prosecutors agreed that he was not the perpetrator responsible for a $550 robbery. Kenneth Windley bought a stolen money order from one of the robbers. ow.ly/GUGi50Yw65K

For the fifth straight year, the #Kentucky legislature is considering a bill that would compensate those #wrongfullyconvicted in the state. And with an approaching April 15 deadline, it is once again in danger of stalling out. ow.ly/mTPA50YutAK

A #Queens, N.Y., man who already served more than 30 years in prison before having his conviction thrown out in January is facing more uncertainty with the prosecutor's decision to continue pursuing the case against him. ow.ly/t3Xa50YtNeG

A #Brooklyn man who was imprisoned for more than two decades officially had his conviction thrown out by New York's Appellate Division on Wednesday. Anthony Sims, who has always maintained his #innocence, served 23 years and has been on parole since 2022. ow.ly/itAz50YtaMG

A #Texas woman #wrongfullyimprisoned for more than the last 20 years was freed last night and reunited with her three daughters, who were all under age 8 when she was convicted in a tragic death that is now know to be accidental. kvue.com/article/news/l…

In 2021, OIP was a leading force behind getting signed into law new #Ohio legislation requiring the recording of interrogations by law enforcement for serious crimes. #Pennsylvania is now considering a similar bill, as detailed in this op-ed. ow.ly/7U8e50YqWiG

One of the biggest challenges for those #wrongfullyconvicted when they are released is adapting to a world which has in many cases been changed radically by technology. A group of #exonerees has a unique solution -- creation of an app to address it. ow.ly/8l5e50YqKm2

Mike VonAllmen lost 11 years of his #freedom in #Kentucky prisons, but has never been paid a cent. Kentucky remains one of just 10 states that offers no compensation to the wrongfully convicted, but a bill currently under consideration could change that. ow.ly/H6Yk50YqoFv

Congrats to Cincinnatian Derrick Jamison, who spent 25 years on Ohio's #deathrow, on being officially declared a wrongfully imprisoned person Thursday, opening the door to state compensation. Jamison's case predated OIP, but he has spoken at our events. ow.ly/k38t50YpXsA

A day 25 years in the making finally arrived today, when George Calicut Jr. -- who has always maintained his #innocence -- had his conviction overturned and was freed in #Michigan. No physical evidence or eyewitness accounts ever tied him to the crime. ow.ly/So3m50YoTc6

Jimmie "Chris" Duncan's case in #Louisiana is exceptional, as the family of a dead child has filed an amicus brief with the state Supreme Court seeking a declaration that Duncan is #innocent. Duncan spent 32 years in prison, 27 on #deathrow. ow.ly/3W5s50YnPRh
