I might not have lost 15 years of my life if there had been laws protecting against false jailhouse informant testimony when I went to trial.


** [link removed] Final stretch for 2019

John,

This spring, I stood in a Texas courtroom as a judge declared me “actually innocent” of a murder I didn’t commit. At my trial in 2000, four jailhouse informants falsely implicated me — and although no physical evidence connected me to the crime, this informant testimony sealed my fate.
The state’s own files had proof that the informants had lied, and the Innocence Project found that proof when they re-investigated my case. DNA testing also excluded me from key evidence at the crime scene, and I was finally exonerated this year. But I might not have lost 15 years of my life in prison if there had been laws protecting against false jailhouse informant testimony when I went to trial.

Today, donate to the Innocence Project’s end of year fundraising campaign and ensure that no one has the experience I had: ([link removed])

Because of supporters like you, the Innocence Project has been able to advocate for informant regulation laws across the country, and in 2017, Texas became the first state to pass comprehensive measures to regulate informant testimony. Our work on this issue is just beginning, and your support will help expand those efforts across the country. ([link removed])
