Download The Injustice Anywhere 2017 Newsletter And Join The Fight To Free The Innocent

I am pleased to announce that the 2017 Injustice Anywhere Winter Newsletter is now available for online viewing and download. Injustice Anywhere (an organization I help operate) actively works to bring more attention to wrongful convictions.

According to the National Registry of Exonerations, courts in the United States overturned 165 wrongful convictions in 2016, which broke 2015’s record of 149 corrected wrongful convictions. It is promising to see that the numbers continue to be on the rise. If you look at data over the past 25 years, we are now seeing substantial progress.

Over the past quarter century, America has incarcerated more people than any civilized nation on earth. A disturbing number of those incarcerations have been wrongful convictions. Hundreds of exonerations can be credited to advanced DNA technology. But research on topics like, bite mark evidence, fire investigation technology, and shaken baby syndrome, have all played a significant role as well. The ability to distribute information via the internet has also proven to be an invaluable resource when fighting wrongful convictions.

Exoneration statistics show that we are on the right track, but we have a long way to go. We need to correct the mistakes we have made, all while working to reforming the system which allowed those mistakes to occur in the first place. Sadly, the wrongful conviction problem is far more pervasive than most people realize, and even with increased interest, most cases continue to lack the attention they warrant.

Please download our 2017 Winter Newsletter to learn more about Injustice Anywhere. If you like what we stand for, we encourage you to get involved. Many innocent people remain in prison. They need others to be their voice. They need you. Please join us in the fight to free the innocent.
