For three decades, the Innocence Project has led a national effort to exonerate wrongly convicted people and reform the criminal legal system. Listen to an interview with @innocence co-founders Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld today: apple.co/3tulkVT
Fantastic exoneration today in Ada, Oklahoma! Perry Lott - 30 years in, 5 on parole, totally innocent. A sexual assault conviction, a ridiculously suggestive ID procedure, and new DNA testing that proved innocence. Perry, a Navy veteran is an inspirational human.

Rosa developed kidney disease while incarcerated and is now fighting for her life and in need of a life-saving kidney transplant. Help spread the word to help her find a live kidney donor: kidney4rosa.com
