We are overjoyed that our wrongly convicted client Frances Choy is exonerated! She is the first woman of color exonerated in our state. Prosecutorial racism and other misconduct imprisoned her for 17 years, but she survived and this amazing woman is free.

If you’re reading this & live in MA, you have time to call your state rep! Please ask them to support Amendments 11 (to create an independent Forensic Science Commission) & 153 (to fairly compensate exonerees) to House 4011. YOU can make a difference. #nobettertimethannow

@senjehlen @masspirates Thank you @senjehlen for fighting to correct wrongful convictions and provide fair compensation to exonerees.
