Page 4 Making Strides Toward Justice Letter from the Co-Directors, Board Chair and Executive Director

At the Innocence Project, protecting and restoring freedom for the innocent is the centerpiece of our mission. To achieve that goal, we use a two-pronged approach: leveraging the fact-finding science of DNA evidence to exonerate the scores of people who are in prison or on death row for crimes they didn’t commit; and building better laws and instilling practices that will remake the criminal justice system into one that prevents wrongful convictions in the first place.

In 2014, the Innocence Project achieved significant victories that will advance our overall pursuit of freedom for innocent people and redefine our criminal justice system.

First, the Innocence Project helped to exonerate five individuals—Randy Mills, Nathan Brown, Michelle Murphy, Ricky Nelson and Rickey Dale Wyatt. Through the relentless efforts of our legal team as well as our exceptional partners from across the country, these exonerees joined the ever widening circle of exonerated men and women who are courageously restoring their lives and reclaiming their innocence.

On the policy front, we successfully cultivated powerful allies in law enforcement and lobbied lawmakers and other constituents on both sides of the aisle. As a result, Illinois, Vermont and Maryland passed laws that will mandate their police departments to enact scientifically reliable eyewitness identification procedures. New Jersey passed a law to improve its compensation for each year someone was wrongfully incarcerated, which we hope will prevent exonerated people from living impoverished lives upon release from prison.

In our efforts to strategically reform courtroom practices, we engaged courts around the treatment and admissibility of forensic and identification evidence. Our efforts received a tremendous boost when the National Academy of Sciences released a groundbreaking report that discussed what three decades of robust scientific research tell us about eyewitness misidentification—the leading cause of wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidence in the United States. The report confirmed many of the Innocence Project’s recommendations for improving identification collection procedures.

Collectively, these laws and best practices are reshaping our legal system. In turn, we are seeing that justice is served. The 2014 exonerations alone are a testament to that. Indeed, steadily, our country is moving in the right direction, thanks in great part to our generous supporters who are helping us pave the way for a more just and fair criminal justice system.

Edwin was reading Nathan’s trial transcript when he was struck by something in the victim’s testimony. During the attack, she said, she’d been bitten on her neck by the perpetrator. 2014 In all of the case details that Edwin had gathered over the years, nowhere—not during the investigation, not in the police report—had the victim ever said that she’d been bitten. Even 9,000 at the trial, her mention of the physical encounter was brief; neither the defense nor the prosecutor paid it any mind. applications evaluated in 2014 What would appear as a mere tidbit of information to others translated into new evidence to Edwin—evidence that just might save Nathan’s life. Edwin knew that if the attacker had bit the victim, it was possible he’d left saliva on the victim’s dress, potentially providing a DNA profile that would prove Nathan was not the attacker.

Ultimately, Edwin’s theory was correct. The DNA left on the dress was Nathan’s saving grace—the very thing that led to the 13,850 Innocence Project proving Nathan’s innocence, and identifying the actual man who committed the crime. applications have been submitted Nathan’s story is extraordinary; his freedom hinged upon a over the past five single piece of evidence, and it was discovered not by luck, years, equaling but through a rigorous, step-by-step analysis of his case.

“I want to know what freedom is about.”

Michelle Murphy

Michelle Murphy’s case For more than half of her life, Michelle Murphy was branded was one of the 230 cases as being perhaps the worst kind of criminal: a mother who the Innocence Project murdered her own baby. In 1995, a jury found Michelle guilty worked on in 2014. of stabbing to death her three-month-old son and sentenced her to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But on September 12, 2014, Michelle was exonerated. A judge declared that evidence proved that Michelle was innocent; the criminal justice system had failed her.

Exactly 20 years prior to being exonerated—in the early morning of September 12, 1994—Michelle awoke to find her infant son, Travis, dead on her kitchen floor. Oklahoma City police, eager to identify the culprit, aggressively interrogated Michelle— only 17 at the time—for seven and a half hours without a parent or guardian present. Hysterical with grief, Michelle gave a statement implicating herself of the crime. A detective had told her that she could see her eldest child—then two years old— if she admitted that she was guilty.

Page 8 MICHELLE MURPHY LEGAL freedom

Despite the investigators and the prosecutor knowing that Michelle’s statement didn’t add up, and later finding evidence that pointed to another individual, Michelle was charged with murder and her confession was used against her in court.

Strong evidence suggested that the only supposed witness to the crime—a teenage boy who had long threatened to hurt Michelle—had, in fact, entered Michelle’s apartment and killed the child during the night. Forensic testing showed that there was blood from someone other than the victim at the scene. The then-district attorney had evidence that the foreign blood at the scene was inconsistent with Michelle’s blood type, but neglected to turn over that evidence to the court and instead led the jury to believe that the blood came from Michelle. Michelle would be convicted based largely on her own false statement.

Two decades later, Michelle was incarcerated at Mabel Bassett Correctional Center in Oklahoma City. In conjunction with Tulsa-based attorneys from O’Carroll & O’Carroll, the Innocence Project persuaded the trial court to grant new DNA testing of evidence found at the 1994 crime scene. Results proved that blood stains in the apartment belonged to a male, not Michelle.

Twenty years to the day that Travis was killed, Michelle walked into a courtroom, again looking for redemption. This time, Michelle was told the words she’d deserved to hear all along: “You’re innocent.”

Page 9 The numbers are striking: of the 329 people exonerated by DNA testing in the United States, 236 were wrongfully convicted—at least in part— because of eyewitness misidentification; that’s 72% of all DNA exoneration cases in the United States. Faulty forensics contributed to nearly 50% of the total cases.

The unit’s attorneys urge courts to develop better evidentiary rules that reflect the latest scientific research on the fallibility of memory and identification, and to set stricter boundaries on the use of forensic practices, like bite mark and microscopic hair analysis, that have not been scientifically validated.

Kennedy Brewer PHOTO: Innocence Project In 2014, the National Academy of Sciences released a report on the collection and use of eyewitness evidence in court in light of 30 years of robust research on the science of memory and identification. Many of the report’s recommendations—which will help shape how law enforcement conducts line ups, inform policy at all levels, and determine the admissibility of eyewitness testimony in criminal trials—have long been used by the Innocence Project’s Strategic Litigation attorneys. Steven Barnes PHOTO: Gary Walts Last year, the Strategic Litigation unit trained thousands of defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges on how to better litigate scientific evidence. The unit also consulted and advised on criminal cases in jurisdictions all across the country, urging courts to vacate convictions that were based entirely on flawed evidence.

Making strides toward freedom: EDDIE LEE HOWARD With the Mississippi Innocence Project, the Strategic Litigation team urged the court to vacate Eddie Lee Howard’s conviction, which rests nearly entirely on invalid bite mark evidence. Howard has served more than 20 years on death row for the murder of an elderly woman although post-conviction DNA testing in his case has excluded him as the source of DNA identified on the murder weapon. Strategic Litigation is waiting for the court’s decision on whether Howard’s conviction will be overturned. The Strategic Litigation unit urges courts to be more critical and fair when witnesses testify regarding identifications and forensic practices that are not based on science.

States that are getting it right

New Jersey: In 2011, New Jersey became the first jurisdiction nationally to reject the scientifically flawed test for evaluating In 2014, eyewitness identification evidence that had been used in every part the Strategic of the country since 1977. A year later, the state’s supreme court Litigation unit issued jury instructions for cases involving eyewitness identification reached a total of evidence. An unprecedented move, the instructions usher science into the courtroom and educate jurors about factors that affect the reliability of eyewitness identifications. 2,380 Oregon: In 2012, the Oregon Supreme Court issued a landmark decision requiring major changes in the way courts are required to lawyers, judges evaluate identification evidence. The changes, designed to reduce and forensic the likelihood of wrongful convictions by taking into account more practitioners than 30 years of scientific research on eyewitness identification through trainings and memory, shifted the burden to the state to establish that the and workshops. evidence is admissible. The decision now requires Oregon courts to consider the factors that may affect an identification’s reliability and instructs courts, where appropriate, to employ remedies, such as limiting the witness’ testimony and permitting expert testimony to explain the scientific research on memory and identification.

Massachusetts: The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court created a study group on eyewitness identification evidence to review research on eyewitness memory. The group released an excellent report in which it made five recommendations critical to ensuring improvement in the reliability of eyewitness evidence in court. The Innocence Project issued comments on the report and urged the state’s supreme court to adopt all five of the issued recommendations. Page 11 social work

Page 15 We forged alliances with lawmakers, law enforcement leaders and legal experts to pass laws that will buttress states’ efforts to prevent wrongful convictions. Some of these new laws mandate that investigations be guided by science-based practices to reduce bias and tunnel vision—factors that contribute to targeting the wrong people in criminal cases. Others will give all innocent people in prison access to DNA testing. And for those who have been wrongfully convicted and exonerated, new and improved legislation will see that they are fairly compensated in order to have a fresh start at making the most of their renewed freedom. In 2014, the Innocence Project accomplished critical policy reform.

Eyewitness misidentification is the greatest contributing factor to wrongful convictions, playing a role in nearly 75% of DNA- based exonerations. Recent exoneree Nathan Brown was wrongly convicted based on an eyewitness misidentification that took place during a “show-up,” a highly suggestive and unreliable identification procedure.

More than one out of four DNA-based exonerees made false confessions or incriminating statements that contributed to their wrongfully convictions. Exoneree Michelle Murphy was convicted based in part on a false confession that she made during a coercive interrogation process. Solution: The electronic recording of interrogations is the Michelle Murphy PHOTO: Sharisse O’Carroll single best reform available to prevent wrongful convictions caused by false confessions. 2014 victory: Vermont passed legislation that will require the recording of interrogations, making a total of 23 states that do so.

Not every state has compensation laws. For those states that do, “My grandson looks at me and asks me the laws vary widely and the level of benefits and compensation for things—nice clothes, he wants to offered is not always sufficient. Exonerees, who lost valuable have a nice Christmas and all of that. earning years in prison, are often left destitute. It makes me feel awful. . . . I feel like Solution: Adopting the compensation amount recommended I’m less than a man, that I’m not able by the federal government (adjusted for inflation) and the to support my family. It hurts me inside. Innocence Project—a minimum of $62,500 per year of being I’m full of rage and pain.” wrongfully imprisoned. –Calvin Willis, Innocence Project client 2014 victory: New Jersey increased its compensation amount in 2014 Associated Press article about from $20K per year to $50K per year of wrongful imprisonment lack of sufficient compensation and added a range of social services to assist with reentry. And Vermont lifted its ban on granting compensation to exonerees whose cases were not DNA-based.

While all states now provide post-conviction DNA testing, many of the laws are limited in scope and substance. Not all inmates are provided access, especially those who falsely confessed or pleaded guilty. Solution: Allow access to post-conviction DNA testing wherever it can establish innocence, even if the petitioner is no longer incarcerated, and including cases where the petitioner pleaded guilty or provided a confession or admission to the crime. 2014 victory: Illinois passed legislation to expand post-conviction DNA testing to those who pleaded guilty.

In 2014, the Innocence Project produced a short film in which four men who were wrongfully convicted read excerpts— sometimes tearfully—from the first letters they ever wrote to the Innocence Project, asking for help. The purpose of the film is to give people an up-close and candid look at the grave injustices that anyone can face at the hands of a broken criminal justice system. Thousands of people have watched the film on YouTube and learned why even one wrongful conviction is too many. The Innocence Project informs the national conversation on wrongful convictions through public education.

As an advocacy group, the Innocence Project aims to inform the national conversation on wrongful convictions and to drive legislative change that will fix our flawed criminal justice system. One way we do this is through public education. We leverage all forms of media to foster awareness around the causes of wrongful convictions and to expose the legal and logistical challenges involved in securing our clients’ freedom. We work with venues across the country to provide exonerees a platform from which to share their experiences. And we use our online and social media channels to advance public discourse and build comprehensive support around policies that will better deliver justice. In 2014, we engaged some of the best people in print, radio and television to tell compelling stories about the issue of wrongful convictions and the need to enact reforms to prevent future injustice.

Page 18 AWARENESS We ramped up our social media efforts so to provide up-to-the-minute coverage about recent exonerees and their first moments of freedom, making stories of exonerees accessible to practically anyone. One photo, which captures Nathan Brown just moments after he was declared innocent, reached the feeds of 2.5 million Facebook users, making it our most popular post ever.

On behalf of actor, producer and Innocence Project Artist Committee member Tony Goldwyn, the Innocence Project consulted closely with actors Marin Ireland and Paul Schneider for their starring roles as attorneys on the WE Network show The Divide, a scripted drama about a fictional innocence clinic. Ample media attention around the series debut featured full-segment interviews with both Goldwyn and Innocence Project Co-Director Barry Scheck on The View and CBS Morning News, introducing millions of viewers to the work of the Innocence Project.

The Innocence Project collaborated with the Marshall Project on a front-page Washington Post investigation into new evidence of prosecutorial misconduct in the case of Cameron Todd Willingham, who was executed in 2004 for the arson murder of his three young daughters. The story focused on newly uncovered documents which indicate that former prosecutor, John H. Jackson, made false statements and concealed evidence favorable to Willingham's defense. Jackson is now under investigation by the State Bar of Exonerees speak about their Texas, which has filed a formal accusation of misconduct against experiences being wrongfully Jackson. The former prosecutor faces sanctions. convicted in a film that the Innocence Project produced In 2014, exonerees and Innocence Project staff spoke at in 2014. To see the film, go to 52 speaking engagements held all around the country. That means innocenceproject.org/about that nearly every week of the year, a new audience learned about wrongful convictions, the power of DNA in securing justice, and the need for new policies to protect innocent people. At each event, exonerees shared their stories and the details of their cases. For those exonerees who were new to publicly presenting their stories, the Innocence Project hosted story telling training sessions with The Moth at our office in Manhattan and at the Innocence Network Conference in Portland, Oregon.

Page 19 This past spring, Melissa Lullo was a member of Team Innocence Project and ran the New York City Half Marathon to raise money for the organization. Melissa’s father, Dennis Halstead, was exonerated in 2003 after spending 18 years in prison for a rape and murder he didn’t commit. The Innocence Project consulted on his case and represented Halstead’s co-defendant, John Restivo. Melissa reflected on her father’s experience as her inspiration to finish the 13-mile course, which she said was a tough haul given that she’s not a dedicated runner. But, when asked whether she’d consider running again next year, she confessed, “In the blink of an eye. Without the Innocence Project, my father would still be in prison. . . . Melissa Lullo on the day of the If I can raise support for this organization, I’d do it all again.” New York City Half Marathon. PHOTO: Laura Ma “Without the Innocence Project, my father would still be in prison.... If I can raise support for this organization, I’d do it all again.”

Melissa’s sentiments—of being driven to go above and beyond for the sake of the wrongfully convicted clients and exonerees— are shared among the many individuals who donate to the work of the Innocence Project. Like Melissa, all of our donors are deeply connected to our mission. They establish close ties to the organization by staying well-informed about our work, whether it be through Q&A sessions with the organization’s leaders or speaking events with our exonerees. And while, unlike Melissa, most donors do not have the exceptional experience of having a loved one who is an exoneree, all of them have a shared aim: to secure freedom for the wrongly incarcerated and to reform the laws that shape the criminal justice system. exoneratPage 20 ion Laura Ma, Innocence Project staff member, cheers on runners Actress Marin Ireland, accepting her award raising support for the organization.

Since 1992, the Innocence Project has been at the helm of a transformative criminal justice movement—a movement that has united a vast network of individuals—seemingly unlikely allies from across the political aisle and all demographics—in a collective endeavor to strengthen the criminal justice system with science. And as the breadth of our work has expanded, from exonerating our clients to also amending policy and fostering change in the courtroom, so, too, has the circle of our richly diverse supporters. John Artis, co-defendant and longtime Because of these donors, the Innocence Project is spurring a friend of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, at the Innocence Project’s Eighth Annual Benefit— sea change within the courts and law enforcement—proving “A Celebration of Freedom & Justice”—in innocence, apprehending actual criminals and grounding May 2014, where he eulogized Mr. Carter. criminal justice in hard science.

In addition, The Overbrook Foundation’s long support of the Innocence Project is based on its effective application of lessons learned from its cases to advance much-needed reforms of the criminal justice system.
