Nice News - In the United States, it’s estimated that roughly 1 in 20 criminal
cases result in a wrongful conviction. And those wrongful convictions
disproportionately affect Black people, who account for around 53% of
exonerations...Guided by science and anti-racism, the Innocence Project not only
strives to free the innocent, but also works to prevent wrongful
convictions and create a system that’s fair, compassionate, and
equitable for everyone. Since its founding in 1992, the New York-based
nonprofit has helped to exonerate 250 people, almost 60% of whom are
Black.
