Civil rights activist Malcolm X was shot and killed while giving a speech in New York City exactly 55 years ago today. Three men were sentenced to life in prison for his assassination, but a new series presents compelling evidence that two of those men — including our client, Muhammad Abdul Aziz — are innocent.

In light of new information uncovered in the six-part documentary series, “Who Killed Malcolm X?”, the Innocence Project is working with civil rights attorney David Shanies of David B. Shanies Law Office and the Conviction Integrity Program of the New York County District Attorney’s Office to re-investigate Aziz’s conviction.
The Innocence Project exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. www.innocenceproject.org
