Not gonna lie, teared up a bit. Thanks.

What an honor to spend time with former Oregon Gov. Kate Brown this week in Chicago. During her term, Gov. ⁦Kate Brown⁩ granted nearly 50,000 pardons and commutations, including juveniles sentenced to life in prison. Heroic, brave, and the right thing to do.

Thanks to everyone who’s reporting that they’re still seeing me on their Twitter feeds. I see you all too … and we all see Brendan. 💛

What in creation are we doing here? Both the defense and the prosecution believe Richard Glossip is innocent but he may be executed anyway?!? This is our legal system?!? Call. The. Governor. Of. Oklahoma. Now. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/04/26…

Unbelievably well-deserved. The word hero only scratches the surface. Congratulations Rebecca Brown! 💛

Justin is the living definition of a hero. What a treasured professor from whom his students have learned for so long. All the best in the next phase of your undeniable, irrepressible work, Justin!

And several of those years were on death row, just fyi…. Not nearly enough

The Michigan Supremes get it right today (and cite a good deal of research from colleagues like @sdrizin who study false confessions): yes, it’s easier to coerce kids into falsely confessing. courts.michigan.gov/4a2813/siteass…

Been a good day. Our team exonerated Brian Beals today. Thirty-five years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. Huge love to Lauren Kaeseberg at IL Innocence Project and my colleague Valerie Alexander for joining forces and freeing this good man. apnews.com/article/chicag…

What a team. So proud to have helped bring Brian Beals home today. He’s been wrongfully imprisoned since 1988 — but click on the article to learn why even the worst injustice can’t keep a good man down. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/j…

“I’m looking forward to building a life, starting over,” he said. “I have to figure out what this world has in it.” Welcome home, Mr. Beals. Glad this world has you back in it after 35 years away. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireSto…

EXONERATED AFTER 35 YEARS “I feel like after spending 35 years within the system, I have learned so much. I want to take what I have learned and become an advocate for prisoners..." Exoneree Brian Beals shares his story with CNN's Boris Sanchez.

FINALLY! Common sense prevails. Incredibly honored to have been part of Damien and Lorri’s team for 10+ years — and to have filed an amicus brief here on behalf of crime victims who support finding the truth through DNA. Let’s go get some answers!

Dropping today: the latest must-read on our prison system, Dismantling Mass Incarceration by Premal Dharia, James Forman, Jr., & Maria Hawilo. Love the wide variety of perspectives included, all aimed at safely reducing the prison population. Check it out! us.macmillan.com/books/97803746…

Let’s bring back some common sense: police don’t have to, and should not, lie to the people they serve. Glad to help spotlight one of the most successful recent waves of policy reform aimed at fighting wrongful convictions.

Well worth a listen. The Ohio 4 are very likely innocent, yet tunnel vision and politics seem to have gotten in the way of their freedom. It's really significant that new platforms are talking about prosecutorial discretion and the ways it can go badly wrong.

Thrilled to be partnering with the Int'l Association of Chiefs of Police (The IACP) to help develop guidance for police chiefs around the country on how to interrogate people with disabilities. Brendan Dassey was 16 years old with disabilities centered around speech/language,
