John —
While we can’t meet in person, there’s so much we can still get done together. This Monday, April 6th at 3 p.m. ET, we’re hosting a virtual town hall on how you can help fix Florida's exoneree compensation law, and how the COVID-19 pandemic affects exonerees and Innocence Project of Florida clients who are still in prison. RSVP here, and you’ll get notified when we’re live on Facebook. ([link removed])
Panelists include Clemente Aguirre-Jarquin, who was exonerated of murder after a decade on death row and has yet to be compensated for his unjust imprisonment; State Representative Jamie Grant; Florida Innocence Project Executive Director Seth Miller; and Innocence Project State Campaign Director Michelle Feldman.

Clemente was wrongfully convicted in 2006 of the stabbing deaths of his former neighbors Cheryl Williams and Carole Bareis. He was exonerated in 2018, after spending more than 14 years behind bars — including a decade on death row.
While Clemente is free, he has been denied compensation for the years he lost because of a technicality in Florida’s broken law. He’s not alone: only four of more than 30 wrongfully convicted Floridians have been compensated since the law passed in 2008. Clemente and other exonerees in Florida deserve to be paid for their losses and the injustices they’ve suffered, and it’s up to us to fight for them.
Let us know you’ll join the virtual town hall on how you can help protect innocent Floridians and fix the compensation law ([link removed]) . ([link removed])
Thank you.
