John,
Thirty-one years ago, Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld started the Innocence Project as a small legal clinic at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. They believed that if DNA could prove someone guilty of a crime, it could also prove a wrongly convicted person innocent.
During the first ten years, we celebrated many big milestones including our first exoneration, Barry and Peter publishing a book highlighting stories of the innocent, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno (a founding member of our board) commissioning a report on the causes of wrongful convictions, and so much more. Take a look below at some of the big moments from our first decade, and make a donation to help fund the big moments of the future.
This decade helped us lay the groundwork for the over 245 exonerations that we’ve celebrated together so far — but we know the work is never over.
In honor of the Innocence Project’s 31st birthday, will you make a donation right now to help fund the innocence movement?
Thank you so much for your support,
— The Innocence Project Team
