MIC Exonerees Lamarr Monson and Kendrick Scott understand police misconduct like few others could. Both lost nearly 20 years of their lives after being wrongfully convicted for murders they did not commit. And now they march for justice for all. #BlackLivesMatter #BLM

Very rarely does forensic science reform come from criminal cases — no one has the resources to properly litigate them. Yet, forensic evidence is crucial in deciding innocence. Check out #OpenMike to see how we can give defense teams a fair shot in court: rb.gy/dh4ylj

Walter was a college student when he was wrongfully charged with setting a fire. The clinic began working on his case in 2010 & helped him secure evidence implicating the building's owner as the true arsonist. He was fully exonerated in Dec 2020 after serving nearly 38 years.
