FINALLY! Common sense prevails. Incredibly honored to have been part of Damien and Lorri’s team for 10+ years — and to have filed an amicus brief here on behalf of crime victims who support finding the truth through DNA.

Let’s go get some answers!

EXONERATED AFTER 35 YEARS

“I feel like after spending 35 years within the system, I have learned so much. I want to take what I have learned and become an advocate for prisoners...'

Exoneree Brian Beals shares his story with CNN's Boris Sanchez.

“I’m looking forward to building a life, starting over,” he said. “I have to figure out what this world has in it.”

Welcome home, Mr. Beals. Glad this world has you back in it after 35 years away.

What a team. So proud to have helped bring Brian Beals home today. He’s been wrongfully imprisoned since 1988 — but click on the article to learn why even the worst injustice can’t keep a good man down.

Been a good day.

Our team exonerated Brian Beals today. Thirty-five years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit.

Huge love to Lauren Kaeseberg at IL Innocence Project and my colleague Valerie Alexander for joining forces and freeing this good man.

The Michigan Supremes get it right today (and cite a good deal of research from colleagues like @sdrizin who study false confessions): yes, it’s easier to coerce kids into falsely confessing.

And several of those years were on death row, just fyi….

Not nearly enough

Justin is the living definition of a hero. What a treasured professor from whom his students have learned for so long. All the best in the next phase of your undeniable, irrepressible work, Justin!

Adnan Syed asks Maryland Supreme Court to hear appeal of ruling to reinstate conviction: thebaltimorebanner.com/community/crim…

Unbelievably well-deserved. The word hero only scratches the surface. Congratulations Rebecca Brown! 💛

What in creation are we doing here?

Both the defense and the prosecution believe Richard Glossip is innocent but he may be executed anyway?!?

This is our legal system?!?

Call. The. Governor. Of. Oklahoma. Now.

Thanks to everyone who’s reporting that they’re still seeing me on their Twitter feeds.

I see you all too … and we all see Brendan. 💛

What an honor to spend time with former Oregon Gov. Kate Brown this week in Chicago.

During her term, Gov. ⁦Kate Brown⁩ granted nearly 50,000 pardons and commutations, including juveniles sentenced to life in prison. Heroic, brave, and the right thing to do.

Not gonna lie, teared up a bit.

Thanks.

I lost my blue check — which I don’t care about, unless this means the algorithm is now suppressing my tweets about Brendan & others. Are people seeing this tweet?

This is huge news.

How on earth does M. Chris Fabricant’s terrific book, which dissects the outdated forensic science underlying wrongful convictions, end up on a banned book list?!? SMH.

The students and faculty (especially Prof. Laura Cohen) at Rutgers Law ⚖️ pulled together an incredible conference on wrongful convictions. Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve, Erica J. Suter, Steven A Drizin, so many others. Thrilled to be there.

Truly uplifting to see how Marc Howard and the whole Georgetown Georgetown University Prisons & Justice Initiative community are enveloping Adnan Syed in support — especially right now. It was my honor to be there!

Honored to be Zooming into Uni of Greenwich today to deliver the opening talk at InnocenceProjectLDN’s symposium. And doubly moved that the invitation was to speak about Brendan Dassey’s case. Grateful for all those fighting for his freedom alongside us.
