I worked at The Innocence Project for 2 years. When I was working there, our exoneration rate for cases that made it to DNA testing was 50%. Imagine that - 50%. This kind of failure rate is unacceptable. This is a compounded by the fact that the majority of cases we saw never made it to DNA testing because evidence was so old that it was typically lost.

The Innocence Project still has a huge backlog of cases. Legal cases are incredibly long and expensive. A single DNA test costs thousands of dollars. Donations mean everything here. Thank you.
