** In December 2001, Marvin Anderson became the 99th person in the United States to be exonerated due to post-conviction DNA testing. He was only 18 years old when he was wrongfully convicted of a horrible crime based largely on eyewitness misidentification and served 15 years in prison. Today, Marvin is a member of the Innocence Project's Board of Directors.

** The Innocence Project litigated for almost six years to get the court's permission for DNA testing, taking Tony Wright's case all the way to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court before testing was granted. Tony became the nation's 344th DNA exoneree in 2016 thanks to DNA evidence that not only proved his innocence but also implicated another man. He had been incarcerated for nearly 25 years in Pennsylvania and narrowly escaped the death penalty.

** Kirk Bloodsworth was the first person exonerated from death row through DNA testing. He had spent almost nine years in prison, two of those years facing execution. Following Kirk's exoneration, the U.S. Congress created the Kirk Bloodsworth DNA Post-Conviction Testing Program, which provides funds to states for post-conviction DNA testing. Today, all 50 U.S. states have a law allowing post-conviction testing in some cases — thanks in large part to the Innocence Project’s policy advocacy and to tireless advocates like Kirk.
