BREAKING! Rodney “Patrick” McNeal has just been released from prison after 25 years of wrongful incarceration! He is the 37th California Innocence Project to be released and the 2nd in the last week!

This is an overreach of victim’s rights into the criminal justice system. Wrongfully convicted people are victims as well. Reversing the reversal of a wrongful conviction due to lack of notice to victims’ family members is crazy.

Imagine how much self pitying you would do

if you were in prison for 4 years for something you didn’t do. That’s what

went through. Now, she’s trying to make some good come from it. Try to understand that and not just bandwagon.

I am honored to be featured in this video & get to do what I love every day, but I don't do it alone. My staff, my students, and all of the innocence organizations around the world work every day to free the innocent and make our systems more just.

Lee Harris, released after 31 years, is greeted by a former cellmate, Robert Chattler, who, after his release, worked and raised money to exonerate Harris. I won't forget you, Chattler said. And he didn't. The heavy lifting was by atty. Jennifer Blagg.
This should be every state. Allowing incarcerated people to connect with their families is a human right. Poor families should not have to pay collect phone call bills so children can talk to their incarcerated parents.
Just received perhaps my favorite letter ever. Quintin Morris’s final letter to me from prison after getting the news he was coming home. He was released two weeks ago after 27 years of wrongful incarceration.

Yesterday, my brother Stephen died. He lived life to the fullest.
Here's a computer generated photo of us from the summer of 1983 when we worked as carnies on the Jersey Shore. It is my favorite memory of our time together. I'll miss you Stephen. Love you brother. xo
Last night, 26 years after first meeting Marilyn on death row, we took our first photo together and celebrated her freedom! This is what this work is all about!

The true definition of bittersweet is the moment your client is exonerated from prison and their long nightmare ends. Here's Luis Vargas in 2015 at that moment after 16 years in prison for crimes he did not commit.

167 innocent people have been freed from death row. The question is not whether people deserve to die. The question is whether such an imperfect system deserves the power to kill.

Rarely has anybody deserved the death penalty more than the Boston Bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The court agreed that this “was one of the worst domestic terrorist attacks since the 9/11 atrocities”. Yet the appellate court tossed out the death sentence. So many lives lost....
Fun night on the tennis courts watching the best female player in the world once again dominate 18 year old Coco Gauff. Almost an exact repeat of score from their French Open Final, but Coco has a lot of talent and a lot of years to go. She will get there.

Speaking Spanish “isn’t America?” Beyond your incredibly narrow view of the USA, you might want to look at a map and discover that “America” includes many Spanish-speaking countries.

My client Marilyn Mulero at the Innocence Conference last night. I can’t describe how amazing it is to see the joy on her face when my first memory of her was meeting her on death row 28 years ago.
There is no better feeling than walking an innocent person out of prison after 36 years of wrongful incarceration along with his wife who waited 36 years for him to come home.

Marilyn Mulero is the 190th person and 3rd woman in the USA to be exonerated after being sentenced to death. It has been such an honor to represent her & once again prove that our faulty criminal justice system sends innocent people to death row. We must end the death penalty.
“Ms. Woodruff is the sixth person to report being falsely accused of a crime as a result of facial recognition technology used by police to match an unknown offender’s face to a photo in a database. All six people have been Black.”
I am so happy to announce that David Diaz has just been released!
Help David adjust to life outside the walls because, as the sign says, there will be bumps ahead. Get him a welcome home gift on his go fund me!

So happy that my boy Zach has been offered and accepted a post bar position with the San Diego Public Defenders Office! So proud of him and thrilled he will be working with so many great lawyers (many who are my former students). He even took his first professional headshot. 😊
Happy Thanksgiving to all our freed clients who won’t be eating out of trays today. To our incarcerated clients and their families know we will keep working to make better Thanksgivings in the future.
Freeing our 34th innocent client today on the same day we celebrate the 11th anniversary of freeing my friend and client Rafael Madrigal reminds me how many cases we've won and how much work there is to be done! Onward!

¡Se ha hecho justicia para Héctor, Gonzalo y Juan Luis!! ¡La Suprema Corte les ha reconocido su inocencia y la violación de sus derechos! Felicitamos a los ahora exonerados, sus familiares y a todos los que han estado involucrados en el caso.
Anyone who believes wrongful convictions are just a problem in the USA needs to pay attention to the post office inquiry in the UK this week. More than 900 postal employees falsely charged with crimes based on computer errors and then a massive cover up lasting 20 years!
I am thrilled to report that Javier Ceniceros Meza has been exonerated of kidnapping charges in Coahuila Mexico after 5 years of wrongful incarceration! Congrats to Javier, Professor Mario Mendoza, and the Iberoamerican University Torreon Innocence Project for this great victory!
