Pervis has maintained his innocence for 33 years. He was convicted and sentenced to death despite living with an intellectual disability and having no prior criminal record. Pervis has a strong innocence claim and his intellectual disability makes it unconstitutional to execute him, but as of now, there is no process for Pervis to bring his intellectual disability claim to state court. Here at the Innocence Project, we’re doing everything we can to secure justice for Pervis. But we can’t do it without your help.
The Innocence Project exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. www.innocenceproject.org
