Increasingly in recent years, cellular technology has played a pivotal role in showing cases to be #wrongfulconvictions. The latest example comes from #Knoxville, where cell phone data shows that Ahmad Gatlin was actually 7 miles from a shooting scene. knoxnews.com/story/news/cri…

It seems highly unlikely that this record in terms of extreme #exonerations will ever be topped -- a man in #India imprisoned for the last 43 years was found not guilty by an appeals court this week. The man, known as Lahkan, is 104 years old. ow.ly/yjC850VY6G1

Even nearly three decades of the injustice of #wrongfulconviction couldn't ultimately keep Larry Moses apart from Gloria Armour. See this photo essay on a #NewOrleans couple back together after Larry's #exoneration in 2023. ow.ly/r8E550VYkvo

The area of the law that OIP and other #innocence organizations advocate for their clients in is formally known as post-conviction litigation. This feature gives great insight into both one man's personal battle and the overall system. ow.ly/Pu7Z50VZKgA

#Oklahoma is a state with a lot of issues when it comes to #wrongfulconviction cases. They've made headway, though, with a new law updating the state's compensation statute. kfor.com/news/oklahoma-…

Here's a look at Douglass Haynie's first meal as a free man in 32 years. On Friday, a #Maryland court granted a Writ of Actual Innocence, ending his #wrongfulconviction ordeal that began in 1993. He is a client of the University of Baltimore College of Law's Innocence Project.

OIP's educational outreach this year has included numerous programs about the #deathpenalty. This example from #Texas shows how flimsy these cases involving the most dire of punishments can be. The case against Charles Flores has multiple obvious flaws. ow.ly/KSb550W334Z

Our sympathies go out to our OIP clients, staff and multitudes of others across the #innocence movement who counted Sunny Jacobs as a dear friend. An American #exoneree who move to Ireland, her life was tragically claimed in a house fire Tuesday. irishcentral.com/news/sunny-jac…

OIP client Tyrone Noling has now spent the last 29 years on #deathrow in Ohio for murders he did not commit. This new column reviewing the status of the case argues that it may be time for Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine to use his pardon power on Tyrone's behalf. the-review.com/story/opinion/…

Our OIP client Isaiah Andrews was freed in 2020 after the fifth-longest #wrongfulimprisonment in known U.S. legal history. Sadly, he was only able to enjoy his freedom briefly, passing away in 2022. An event at Cleveland State University on Tuesday will honor his legacy.

Police in #Georgia hid evidence and lied on the stand, costing Joey Watkins 20 years of freedom, according to a new lawsuit. The Georgia Innocence Project client was freed in 2023 and filed his suit in federal court last week. ow.ly/68IC50W5Ly0

Earlier this year, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Richard Glossip of #Oklahoma, who has been on #deathrow for more than 20 years and had execution dates set nine times. Now, the state's Attorney General has announced a new trial. ow.ly/bOMB50W7imp

Over the years, numerous ways have come to light on how the #justicesystem can mishandle a case. The full details of this case from #Texas may be unprecedented, though. ow.ly/S0qe50W842g

If you know our OIP history, you know how messy things have often gotten in #CuyahogaCounty over the years. Here's the latest example from East #Cleveland, with the aftermath of a #wrongfulconviction case now leading to perjury charges against a witness. ow.ly/YpLP50W9vH5

Time and technology are two variables that the #justicesystem is not able to account for easily. In this case, a #Massachusetts man was #wrongfullyimprisoned for 20 years until DNA cleared him. Now, 45 years after the crime, the killer has been ID'ed. usaherald.com/1980-cold-case…
