Right now, Innocence Project staff attorney Susan Friedman, her former client Huwe Burton, and other members of Team Innocence Project are lining up to start the 2019 TCS NYC Marathon. It’s a dream come true for many and especially for Susan and Huwe.
Huwe Burton was wrongfully convicted of his mother's murder and fought for 30 years to clear his name. He was exonerated earlier this year with the help of Innocence Project staff attorney Susan Friedman. Photos/video by Sameer Abdel-Khalek/Innocence Project.
Started in 1992 as a legal clinic at Cardozo School of Law, the Innocence Project is now an independent nonprofit, affiliated with Cardozo, that exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. www.innocenceproject.org
