With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.
Please, email, tweet or call Gov. Parson (@GovParsonMO) RIGHT NOW at 417-373-3400 and URGE him to step in and prevent Marcellus’ execution. innocenceproject.org/petitio…

"Study after study shows that the death penalty does not deter crime, puts innocent people to death, is racially biased, cruel and inhumane ... There is no ethical, scientifically supported, medically acceptable or morally justifiable way to carry it out." scientificamerican.com/artic…

Nearly 300 women have been exonerated since 1989. About 73% of women exonerated in the last three decades were wrongfully convicted of crimes that never took place at all, according to data from the National Registry of Exonerations. #WomensHistoryMonth bit.ly/2O6nh6G

There are at least seven confirmed cases of misidentification due to facial recognition technology, six of which involve Black people who have been wrongfully accused. bit.ly/42Fa7PQ

Exonerations for wrongful convictions have increased tenfold since the National Registry of Exonerations began tracking the data in 1989. In total, more than 31,000 years have been lost by innocent people spending an average of 11.6 years behind bars. bit.ly/3SzgJf1

The death penalty poses a serious risk to innocent, wrongly convicted people. We see this clearly from the nearly 200 people who have been exonerated from death row to date, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. bit.ly/468chaN

In prison, @MidAtlanticIP client and board member Christopher Turner spent much of his time learning about the law. While incarcerated and in the years since his release in 2010, he has led the effort to clear his name and those of his fellow defendants. wapo.st/3K4Xiq2

Got to hear numerous moving stories from exonerees at @MidAtlanticIP’s annual awards lunch today. A great reminder that prosecution isn’t about winning at any cost. It’s about truth and justice.
And congrats to my friend @itsjasonflom for receiving the Champion of Justice Award

On June 28, @MidAtlanticIP will be honoring Jason Flom, Lava for Good, and Patrice Gaines at their 14th Annual Awards Luncheon—storytellers who shine a light on the wrongfully imprisoned and often play a critical role in securing their freedom.

On #Juneteenth, we acknowledge how a loophole in the 13th Amendment enabled incarcerated people to be used as free and forced labor. Many of our clients have worked in prisons for meager pay while those beyond prison walls profited off of their work. innocenceproject.org/news/ho…

June is #PTSDAwarenessMonth. Around 70-80% of exonerees are diagnosed with PTSD. #Wrongfulconvictions inflict lasting trauma, but through MAIP’s exoneree support program, we aim to ensure our clients can easily access the mental health support they need. exonerate.org/building-maips…
