This year has been tough for so many people, but the perseverance of our clients inspires us every day to keep moving forward — and we’re so grateful for them.
So in the spirit of the holidays, here are three more things we're thankful for in 2020:
1. The seven wrongfully convicted clients who came home.
Robert DuBoise, Sheila Denton, Ronald Jacobsen, Jaythan Kendrick, Darrill Henry, Paul Hildwin, and Gerry Thomas.
2. The 11 laws we helped pass to address and prevent wrongful convictions.
3. You! This amazing community of supporters has fought side-by-side with us through it all.
