  • A Record-Breaking Year for Justice
    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.
