If you think wrongful convictions don’t happen, you need to wake up. These are just 12 of the many men and women who deserve clemency. @JerryBrownGov @GavinNewsom please #FreeTheCA12.

Celebrating an incredible year with this amazing group of clinical interns. Your time as interns may be over, but you're #XONR8Rs forever! Thank you for everything.

Sometimes clinical intern case presentations get standing ovations around the room... Yes, we work hard here at CIP, but we also try to have fun once in a while.

@AlissaBjerkhoel @SouthwestAir This happened to me on Friday! @SouthwestAir cancelled my flight and didn’t even notify me! I didn’t even know until I got to the airport! Ridiculous!!

This is Guy Miles with his mother the day he was freed after spending 18 years wrongfully incarcerated. According to @exonerationlist, Black exonerees spend 10.7 years in prison before they're released, vs. 7.4 for white exonerees.

Huge thanks to @AlissaBjerkhoel for being a guest presenter at our first Intern Lunch of the winter term. Alissa spoke to our interns about the Quintin Morris case, its history, and how bad eye-witness identification lead to 27 yrs in prison wrongfully convicted. #XONR8

Every year California Innocence Project selects 12 California Western law students for the coveted Clinical Intern program. These students came out to this information session where @JustinoBrooks and Alex Simpson talked about the program highlights and obligations.

Last year we received more than 6,000 letters @CA_Innocence With thousands of people seeking our help, we could only do our work with an amazing group of staff and students and by being very well organized. #XONR8 CA_Innocence

[CA Innocence Project @CA_Innocence]

"Our #criminaljustice system prides itself on only admitting reliable evidence of guilt, and this is the furthest you can get from that." Watch CIP attorney @AlissaBjerkhoel talk about Dolores Macias, who has been wrongfully incarcerated for 24 years. ⬇️

“Without good law students on the ground level looking at these cases, these people will likely die in prison.” @JustinoBrooks talking with prospective interns from @CWSL_News today!

[Jeremy Stock @stockman214]

A big thank you to @JerryBrownGov for commuting the sentence of Quintin Morris back in 2018, which made him eligible for parole much sooner - ultimately making this moment of freedom today a reality.

"It was surreal watching Quintin walk out of prison after more than 27 years for a crime he did not do. I cried. He cried. His family cried.” — @AlissaBjerkhoel talks about Quintin Morris’s release from prison yesterday. Read more: https://t.co/sBLaGQ7bBr

@GavinNewsom We are excited to see what changes you will be making to this state. Hopefully granting clemency to innocent people is at the top of your list! #FreetheCA12

[Jeremy Stock @stockman214]

One of the finest attorneys out there, @MSemanchik is interviewed by ABC10's Michael Chen regarding @CA_Innocence client Suzanne Johnson, an SBS #WrongfulConviction for which we are still seeking clemency from @JerryBrownGov

"She has done well in prison. She is no longer a threat to society. I support her being let out one year early," said @BonnieDumanis.

Come on, @JerryBrownGov, free Suzanne Johnson!
