Nikki Zinger

Wrongfully convicted in Arkansas for more than 30 years.

[Nikki Zinger @freenikkizinger]

Nikki should be one of them. #wrongfulconviction #innocence

[Nikki Zinger @freenikkizinger]

Nikki continues to fight for her freedom. While she waits, she still has basic needs we can help meet: keeping her website online to share her story, and supporting her commissary so she can afford essentials. Will you stand with Nikki? #innocence #wrongfulconviction

[Lisa Spees @Lis5718]

.@freenikkizinger is also waiting for justice in Arkansas. The pardon and parole board voted unanimously to commute her sentence, then Gov. Asa Hutchinson denied her request. @AsaHutchinson @radleybalko https://t.co/jDaB61sHzP

These “crimes” included events later determined to be accidents, deaths by suicide, and crimes that were fabricated. #wrongfulconviction #innocence

33 yrs ago @freenikkizinger was arrested for the murder of her mother. Despite DNA testing that refutes her involvement & a unanimous vote to commute her sentence, Nikki remains behind bars. Please support her journey for justice. #WrongfulConvictionDay https://t.co/BCFWJZBBlc

Today is #wrongfulconvictionday and last week @exonerationlist passed a grim milestone: the 30,000 mark for the number of years lost to #wrongfulconvictions.

A judge dismissed a murder charge against @GaInnocence client Joey Watkins, ending a decades-long legal fight to exonerate him. Joey, who spent more than 20 years in prison, "cried like a baby" upon being told that his charges were dropped. https://t.co/1YQZhm6hA3

The 10th annual, Wrongful Conviction Day is quickly approaching. Who are you planning to show support for on October 2nd?

[Innocence Project @innocence]

Toforest Johnson has spent more than two decades on death row for a crime he's always said he did not commit. In this @lavaforgood podcast “Earwitness” hosted by @bshelburne, learn more about his story and the fight to clear his name. https://t.co/GlHrlOVpvo

[Nikki Zinger @freenikkizinger]

This isn't because there are fewer #wrongfulconvictions in Arkansas. Rather, this number speaks to the roadblocks the state sets up for doing #innocence work.

[Nikki Zinger @freenikkizinger]

Women like Nikki face a unique set of challenges when it comes to overturning their #wrongfulconviction. Some of these issues are detailed in this excellent reporting from @theappeal: https://t.co/XvJVr2q9Ev

[Innocence Network @InnocenceNtwrk]

Together, the 770+ exonerated former clients of #InnocenceNetwork organizations spent over 12,700 years wrongfully incarcerated. The longest of those wrongful convictions was 47 years. This should shake us to our core and move us to action. #WrongfulConvictionDay

[Nikki Zinger @freenikkizinger]

Congratulations Mr. Simmons! #exoneration #innocence

EXONEREE NEEDS HELP:
Glynn Simmons spent FORTY-EIGHT+ years in prison -- and 2+ years on Oklahoma's death row -- for a crime he did not commit. At 70, he is trying to begin life on the outside -- and he is battling cancer, too. If you have the means, please consider supporting him: https://t.co/DDe42sLb7R

[Colin Miller @EvidenceProf]

Here is the biggest part of Adnan Syed's news conference. We now know definitively that Kevin Urick committed a Brady violation by failing to disclose that an alternate suspect threatened to kill Hae, leading to 23 years of wrongful conviction⬇️

[Colin Miller @EvidenceProf]

Jeff Titus has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the cold case detectives who withheld evidence that an alternate suspect was identified by two eyewitnesses: https://t.co/ffQf4uH15V

[WJZ | CBS Baltimore @wjz]

Adnan Syed said there are two new pieces of information he believes can help him. He wants an investigation by Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown. https://t.co/soPPPRYnjt

[Prison Journalism Project @prisonjourn]

Private prison communications companies are known for charging often exorbitant amounts for phone calls, even within the same area code. A growing movement is abolishing the practice.
