Tommy and his defense team appreciate the support from around Oklahoma and the world.

[Tommy Ward: The Innocent Man @WardInnocentMan]

On Friday, the Okla. Court of Appeals reversed a judge’s decision to overturn Tommy’s conviction. That means, for now, Tommy will remain wrongfully imprisoned. We’re determined to fight until Tommy is released.

We have several legal avenues to keep the fight going. The court did send Tommy’s case back to the district court for further proceedings that could still eventually result in his freedom. Full court opinion: https://t.co/HfHdJ3f9l2

An attorney for Karl Fontenot says very little is left of the state’s case, but that might not be enough to keep prosecutors from filing new charges. | via @cliftonhowze

Good news for “Dreams of Ada” defendant Karl Fontenot. Waiting on decision about @WardInnocentMan case from Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

An Innocence Commission in Oklahoma would give the wrongfully convicted another shot at freedom

Happy 61st birthday to Tommy today. We appreciate all the worldwide support for Tommy. Here’s to hoping Tommy can celebrate #62 anywhere he’d like.

[Tommy Ward: The Innocent Man @WardInnocentMan]

Great news out of federal court. Karl Fontenot’s conviction has been vacated. He’s been out of custody but this is a huge win for Karl and we hope it has implications on Tommy’s case

[Tommy Ward: The Innocent Man @WardInnocentMan]

The fight continues. We’re doing everything we can to get Tommy back to his family. Thank you for all the support
