Conviction Review Unit Supervisor for @sao13th in Hillsborough County. Adjunct Law Professor. Metastatic Breast Cancer Thriver. Court TV guest legal analyst.
Conviction integrity is a critical part of prosecution. Wrongful convictions undermine public safety by allowing the actual perpetrators to go free. That's why I'm excited to announce Theresa Jean-Pierre Coy as the new head of @sao13th Conviction Review Unit. #JusticeMatters

Every prosecutor’s office should have a Conviction Review Unit. It’s the right thing to do! I’m honored to have been chosen to oversee Hillsborough County’s unit!
“I literally see no downside [to Conviction Review Units].”
- @JeffreyBrandes
That’s because there is no downside to exonerating the innocent…
to giving victims closure…
to finding the actual perpetrator…
to seeking the truth. https://t.co/wXTeIfESlw
“Those who question it need to question, ‘What’s your role in the criminal justice system?’” said Theresa Jean-Pierre Coy, a career defense attorney who took over Hillsborough’s conviction review unit this year. “My goal is to get to the truth.” https://t.co/TZt1Xnpuh7

The number of innocent ppl who plead guilty to things b/c they're scared, b/c they've run out of money, or b/c they are physically and mentally exhausted with being in jail b/c they couldn't get or afford a bond is something that will haunt me until the day I die.
