Discovering Novel and Authentic truths to the case.

Since the introduction of DNA testing in the 1980s, the court system has pioneered the use of this groundbreaking technology to scientifically prove innocence. In 1989, the first DNA exoneration took place in the criminal legal system. According to the Innocence Project, 375 people have been exonerated as a result of DNA analysis as of 2020. It is reasonable to assume that these numbers have only grown since then. These DNA exonerations support the notion that some convictions have less validity without these scientific methods to corroborate one’s guilt or innocence. With the numerous cases where wrongful convictions have been coerced by cash bail reform and a lack of DNA testing to prove one’s innocence, our organization helps secure the freedom of victims to coerced pleas by presenting new, and equally convincing, evidence of innocence. The new evidence includes identifying and dissecting eyewitness misidentification, false confessions, misapplied forensic science, and more.
