2018 Annual Report

A Record-Breaking Year for Justice

Affiliated with Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University The Innocence Project was founded in 1992 by Barry C. Scheck and Peter

J. Neufeld at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University

to assist incarcerated people who could be proven innocent through DNA

testing. To date, more than 360 people in the United States have been

exonerated by DNA testing, including 21 who spent time on death row.

These people spent an average of 14 years in prison before exoneration and

release. The Innocence Project’s staff attorneys and Cardozo clinic students

provided direct representation or critical assistance in most of these cases.

The Innocence Project’s groundbreaking use of DNA technology to free

innocent people has provided irrefutable proof that wrongful convictions are

not isolated or rare events, but instead arise from systemic defects. Now an

independent nonprofit organization closely affiliated with Cardozo School

of Law at Yeshiva University, the Innocence Project’s mission is to free the

staggering number of innocent people who remain incarcerated and to bring

substantive reform to the system responsible for their unjust imprisonment.

For the Innocence Project, 2018 was a record-breaking year for justice. We exonerated nine clients— the most ever in our 26-year history—and we helped pass 17 critical reforms in 14 states. While we view every year as victorious, 2018 was particularly remarkable. Apart from our successes, this year’s annual report has an added layer of significance: it is the final one before Maddy deLone ends her 15-year long tenure as executive director of the Innocence Project. At the end of this year, Maddy will be leaving the organization for the next chapter of her professional life and will remain a lifelong supporter, friend and advocate.

Throughout the years that Maddy has been with us, it has been the Innocence Project’s strategy to look at the patterns that emerge from our cases, and to use that knowledge to spur reform. In 2018, we saw once again through our policy achievements that this strategy works. With the help of numerous exonerees and Innocence Network organizations, we held the criminal justice system accountable for its wrongdoings through the passage of legislative reforms throughout the country, and we are optimistic that such reforms will help prevent future wrongful convictions.

A concrete example of this strategy is in the case of John Nolley, who was wrongfully convicted in 1998 based on unreliable jailhouse informant testimony and exonerated this past year. Shortly after Tarrant County Chief District Attorney Sharen Wilson recommended vacating Nolley’s conviction, she enacted a policy to track and regulate the use of jailhouse informants. The state of Texas has since adopted the most comprehensive jailhouse informant legislation in the country. Similarly, because of Keith Hardin’s case—who was wrongfully convicted in 1995 based, in large part, on official misconduct and exonerated this past year—the attorney general has called for a review of other cases handled by the detective involved in Hardin’s case (and in at least three other wrongful conviction cases). Since Hardin’s exoneration in 2018, this detective has left law enforcement.

Certainly, our cases continue to illustrate the power of DNA as an irrefutable tool of proving innocence. In the case of Eric Kelley—who was wrongfully convicted in 1996 of felony murder and robbery and exonerated in 2018—DNA not only exculpated Kelley and his co-defendant, Ralph Lee, but it also identified the person who actually committed the crime. It is because of DNA that over 360 people across the United States have regained their freedom, reconnected with their families and restored their livelihoods.

If it weren’t for the tremendous support of our donors, we could not have exceeded our expectations— we could not have broken records. And, it is because of your continued support that Maddy has been able to grow the organization into what it is today. Although Maddy will no longer be with us in her capacity as executive director, her tenacious spirit will remain; and, together, we will strive to make every year a record-breaking year for justice.

5 John Nolley

John Nolley was exonerated in Texas on October 3, 2018, after spending 19 years in prison and two years on bond for a 1996 murder he did not commit. Nolley’s wrongful conviction largely rested on the testimony of a jailhouse informant, who claimed that Nolley had confessed to him. During a joint reinvestigation of the case, the Innocence Project and the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Conviction Integrity Unit uncovered documents in the state’s files revealing that the informant had repeatedly lied on the witness stand when he testified against Nolley.

Nolley’s case has already led to significant legal reforms. In 2017, the year after the Tarrant County DA recommended vacating Nolley’s conviction, the Texas legislature passed the most comprehensive legislation in the country to track and regulate the use of jailhouse informant testimony.

7 “The best part about being free is getting to be around my friends and family. It is also getting to come and go as I please.” – Keith Hardin

8 Garr Keith Hardin

Garr Keith Hardin spent more than 20 years in prison for a 1992 murder he did not commit. The Innocence Project uncovered evidence of police misconduct and exculpatory DNA, which proved his innocence and ultimately led to his exoneration in February 2018.

Since Hardin’s exoneration, the Kentucky Attorney General has called for a review of other cases handled by the detective who was involved in Hardin’s case– a necessary first step in taking accountability for the injustice Hardin endured.

9 “Breathing that first breath of fresh air was amazing. The trees...the scenery...” Kelley shared moments after he walked free.

10 10 Eric Kelley

In 2018, Eric Kelley was exonerated of a 1996 felony murder and robbery conviction in New Jersey based on exculpatory DNA test results.

At the Innocence Project’s request, the court ordered re-testing of a hat recovered at the scene that the assailant had worn and which was found next to the victim’s body. The testing excluded both Kelley and his co-defendant, Ralph Lee, who had falsely confessed during custodial interrogation. The DNA results implicated another man who had been incarcerated for committing a similar crime.

Because of this irrefutable proof of his innocence, Kelley was exonerated on April 6, 2018, marking the end of his more than 24-year fight for justice.

11 11 Breaking Records Together

The Innocence Project’s record-breaking year for justice in 2018—and tremendous successes in the years prior—would not have been possible without the generous support we receive from our donors. We are endlessly thankful for their commitment to our work. Together, we will endeavor to continue breaking records in the years ahead.
