The Innocence Project
The Innocence Project is a nonprofit organization founded in 1992 that works to exonerate individuals wrongfully convicted of crimes. It uses DNA testing and other evidence to challenge wrongful convictions, aiming to prevent future injustices in the legal system. The organization also advocates for reforms to improve the accuracy of criminal investigations and trials.
Through its efforts, the Innocence Project has helped free hundreds of wrongfully convicted individuals, highlighting issues such as unreliable witness testimony and inadequate legal representation. By raising awareness about these problems, the organization seeks to promote a fairer and more just legal system for everyone.
