As we start 2025, we reflect on the milestones of 2024. We had the privilege of welcoming two of our clients, David Bintz and Manuel Cucuta, home. Both lost decades of their lives and are now focused on rebuilding.

Loved seeing @WISCTV_News3 's coverage of Manuel Cucuta's release, and particularly the critical role that @WisconsinLaw clinic students, Gabriella Marquez and Noemi Reyes, had in his case.

In 2000, David Bintz was sentenced to life in prison without parole for a 1987 abduction and murder in #GreenBay, Wisconsin. He was #exonerated in 2024 based on DNA testing and #geneticgenealogy which ID'ed the real killer.

Wisconsin provides the worst compensation for exonorees in the nation. The State Bar's Bd of Governors agrees that the legislature should increase its meager compensation limits. https://t.co/TT66xbw88z

With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.
Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. https://t.co/2wq41v09Hj
