How we’re working to regulate jailhouse informants.


** [link removed] Final stretch for 2019
------------------------------------------------------------
John,

Many of the cases that come across my desk involve jailhouse informant testimony — a common practice where people in prison testify in exchange for a benefit to themselves, such as a reduction in charges. In May, for example, my client Stanley Mozee was declared innocent of the murder for which he had served 15 years in prison. His wrongful conviction was based almost entirely on false informant testimony.

Our policy team works tirelessly to help pass reforms that would protect people against wrongful convictions involving false jailhouse informant testimony. The Innocence Project has helped pass laws regulating jailhouse informants that could have prevented years of wrongful imprisonment for our clients.
The advocacy work to create these policies relies on a strong policy team working across the country, and that team counts on our supporters to keep them going.

We’ve planned legislative campaigns around regulating jailhouse informants for Colorado, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts and Oklahoma in 2020 — and your support right now will get us started with the momentum we need.
