The Innocence Group has adopted the case of Tasha Shelby. In 1997 she was charged with murder for the death of a 3 ft tall, 2 yr old boy. He always suffered from seizures, the medical examiner did NOT rule it a homicide, yet the DA said it’s “Shaken Baby Syndrome” #TashasInnocent

Nineteen years ago, police officers shot Termaine Hicks in the back while he was helping a woman who had been attacked — then they covered up their mistake and he was wrongly convicted of assaulting her.
This week he was finally freed and exonerated. bit.ly/3nrI2pH
If the Medical Examiner ruled the boys death as accidental due to seizure disorder, then why is #TashaShelby serving a life sentence for his death? @ Mississippi instagram.com/p/CI08TXsBMy7/…

Together Robert DuBoise and Ron Jacobsen spent a total of 67 years in prison for crimes they didn't commit. This year, they're finally free and home for the holidays. bit.ly/3a696XF
Here is the official death certificate of the 2 year old boy where the medical examiner clearly states the death was accidental due to seizure disorder.
The @innocence project has taken on her case and is representing her in front of the Mississippi Supreme Court. Join us as we spread the word of her injustice. #TashasInnocent

Officers who police New York's sex trade operate with little accountability and numerous people have said they were falsely arrested in prostitution and "john" stings. bit.ly/39RBWuE

The current system offers more protections for guilty police officers than innocent citizens. bit.ly/36Ua1IK
If the only evidence of a for-life convicted murder case was based on the testimony of a medical examiner that initially concluded "Shaken Baby Syndrom" but then recanted after learning the 3 foot tall 2yr old had seizures, should there be a new trial?
