Exoneration Project

We fight to free the wrongfully convicted, exonerate the innocent, and bring justice to the justice system.

We are grateful to the @ExonerationProj & @NorthwesternCWC for hosting the 2024 Midwest Regional Summit! 12 Network organizations from 7 states were in attendance. We covered clinic management, intake, PR/media strategy, and community engagement. Looking forward to the next one.

“The main thing that police need to do is to stop coercing people into falsely confessing.” --@loevyandloevy and @ExonerationProj attorney @JTepfer, quoted in today's @Suntimes editorial on "The Steep Price of Police Misconduct." https://t.co/lbiGUtFLNU

No surprise to us our client Tyrellis Wright has a mighty community behind him. His family created a https://t.co/KIP5mMcMNv petition sharing the latest in our fight for Tyrellis. Check it out here:

At the EP, we investigate and litigate in court to exonerate our wrongfully convicted clients.

[Exoneration Project @ExonerationProj]

We’d be remissed not to emphasize that it takes a village. The support & advocacy of our clients’ loved ones and community is crucial. Every court date attended, words of encouragement keeping our clients’ spirits up, & efforts organized to raise awareness do not go unnoticed.

Today we commemorate Juneteenth, which marks the emancipation of most enslaved people in the U.S. Yet for many Americans, the legacy of slavery lives on in unpaid prison labor, mass incarceration, and police brutality.

“The prosecution admits it has no direct evidence connecting the three defendants to this crime.
So, why are they still in prison after 25 years?”
