The Innocence Project, founded in 1992 at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, is a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. Since our founding, the Innocence Project has played a critical role in the exoneration of more than 200 innocent people and leveraged the lessons learned by these injustices to advance substantive policy reform. Our successful efforts for reform on the federal, state and local level have brought millions of people under protection of laws designed to identify, rectify and prevent wrongful convictions.

About the picture: Innocence Project client Felipe Rodriguez is pictured with his attorneys Nina Morrison (senior litigation counsel at the Innocence Project) and Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma on the day he was exonerated in New York City. Felipe was wrongfully convicted based largely on the false testimony of a police informant and because evidence supporting his innocence was unlawfully withheld from his defense attorney. In 2017, Felipe was freed from prison after 27 years when his sentence was commuted by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. As a result of a reinvestigation conducted by the Innocence Project and the Queens County District Attorney’s Office, Felipe was fully exonerated in 2019 after seeking justice for nearly 30 years.
