Our history

The Pennsylvania Innocence Project was founded in 2008 under the / leadership of David Richman and David Rudovsky. In 2009, thanks annual report 201 to the immense support of then Dean JoAnne Epps, its doors opened at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. In 2016, the Project opened a second office in Pittsburgh, housed by Duquesne University Law School. This office helps to better serve clients incarcerated in Western Pennsylvania and build upon the Project’s movement for wrongful conviction reform statewide.

The Project continues working to exonerate wrongfully convicted persons across the Commonwealth with 8 the help of its dedicated staff, legal interns, and supporters. 3 Identifying the incarcerated innocent and working if a convicted individual does not file a petition to exonerate them is certainly the heart of our within the law’s time limits, courts don’t have the work at the Pennsylvania Innocence Project.

Dontia Patterson and Letitia “Teri” Smallwood are free after serving a combined 52 years in prison and additional time under state supervision. Here are their stories. Dontia Patterson Letitia “Teri” Smallwood Dontia Patterson has always maintained that he In 1973, 20-year-old Teri Smallwood was did not shoot his friend Antwine Jackson outside a convicted of arson and murder. In April neighborhood grocery store. The Commonwealth 2015, her conviction was overturned when never advanced any reason why Dontia would have the Project, along with co-counsel Joshua killed Antwine. The store owner – who had known Snyder of Boni Zack & Snyder, demonstrated Dontia for years and who saw Antwine’s killer right that the fire investigation leading to the before the shooting – consistently told police that arson determination was unreliable for Dontia was not the shooter. Nevertheless, Dontia multiple reasons, including because the was convicted in 2007 of his friend’s murder investigator failed to adequately investigate based on testimony from “eyewitnesses” accidental causes. The Commonwealth who saw the shooting from a block away appealed, arguing that Teri filed her petition and grainy store surveillance video. Dontia’s based on new fire science developments trial attorney never called the store owner to testify. too late. Unfortunately, the Superior Court Based on this and other failings by his lawyer, the agreed, even though it acknowledged that Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office agreed in a jury likely would have decided the case 2018 that Dontia deserved a new trial. A few months differently if it heard the testimony of our later, the Commonwealth dropped all charges fire investigation expert. After reporting on against Dontia, filing an unprecedented motion, Teri’s case for many years, we are delighted acknowledging that Dontia is “probably innocent” to share that, in the spring of 2018, the and recognizing that concealment from him of Commonwealth agreed to have Teri evidence pointing to the actual perpetrators was plead no-contest to lesser charges so “an egregious example of police and prosecutorial that she can put her almost five-decade misconduct.” Dontia walked free before his 30th experience with the criminal justice birthday and is now able to parent his 11- system behind her.

7 Client Breakthroughs: justice is within reach Overcoming barriers is a long and frustrating process. For too many of our clients, we see some gains and wins followed by heartbreaking setbacks. This year, many of our clients inched a little closer to freedom. These are five. Rusty Brensinger The Pennsylvania Innocence Project, with pro bono partners Howard Scher, of Buchanan Ingersoll and Rooney PC, solo practitioner Mark Freeman, and John Powell, of Montgomery McCracken Walker and Rhoads LLP, has represented Rusty Brensinger in his quest for a new trial since 2015. Scientific developments since Rusty’s trial show that the murder for which he was convicted was most likely the result of a tragic accident; in other words, no crime even occurred. Rusty’s PCRA petition based on new scientific expert opinions was denied as untimely in 2017. Now, things are looking up. In the fall of 2018, a full panel of nine Superior Court judges heard argument about the important issues Rusty’s case raises regarding when petitions based on new science should be filed, and we hope he will finally get a hearing in 2019 on the merits of his claims. Happily, Rusty was released on parole in late March, having maintained his innocence throughout the process, and is continuing to fight from home with the support of his family. Larry “Trent” Roberts Larry Trent Roberts was convicted of murdering his friend in Harrisburg, and has been incarcerated for that murder since 2006. As we reported last year, the Commonwealth appealed an order that granted Trent a new trial based on: the ineffective assistance of his trial counsel in failing to present alibi evidence showing Trent could not have committed the murder; the recantation of a key trial witness; and the suppression of exculpatory evidence. In 2018, the Superior Court affirmed the order granting a

8 new trial, and the Commonwealth decide not to pursue a further appeal. Trent is now in a pre-trial status! Unfortunately, he remains incarcerated while the Commonwealth determines its next steps. We thank our pro bono partners Tom Schmidt of Pepper Hamilton and solo practitioner Tucker Hull for their continued advocacy on Trent’s behalf. Robert Outlaw After Jamal Kelly was shot in Philadelphia in 2000, he identified “Shank” as the person who did it annual report 201 report annual or who “set him up.” Three years later, police arrested Robert Outlaw for Kelly’s shooting based on / statements implicating him given by Shank, the original suspect, and three other men. Robert, who was 17 at the time of Kelly’s shooting, was convicted of murder in 2004 even though all four Commonwealth witnesses recanted at his trial. In 2018, Robert, represented by former Project intern Edward Foster of Alva & Shuttleworth, with support from the Project, had a two-day evidentiary hearing on his PCRA claims. One witness testified for the first time that she had seen Shank shoot Kelly; Robert also presented previously-suppressed exculpatory evidence showing the police had investigated other leads and that a key witness believed he would receive benefits for his testimony. We are awaiting a decision on these claims; if these claims are denied, Robert will still be entitled to re-sentencing as a “juvenile lifer.” H. Robert Fiebach and Leigh Ann Benson of Cozen O’Connor represent Robert on that claim. Montrell Oliver

Pennsylvania Innocence Project Innocence Pennsylvania Montrell Oliver was convicted of a robbery-murder that occurred when he was 17 years old. Montrell has always maintained his innocence, but he is also entitled to re-sentencing under 8 Continued on next page >> << Continued from previous page Supreme Court decisions making mandatory life without parole sentences for juveniles unconstitutional. The Project represents Montrell in efforts to prove his innocence at the state level, the Federal Community Defender Office represents Montrell in federal proceedings, and Jessica Priselac and AJ Rudowitz of Duane Morris represent Montrell for his re-sentencing. We have worked as a team to help Montrell maintain his innocence through his sentencing proceedings, where acceptance of responsibility is usually required, and to ask the Conviction Integrity Unit at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office to review his innocence claims. Montrell’s re-sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 2019. Khalif McDuffy Anderson Khalif McDuffy Anderson was convicted of killing his longtime friend, Kareem Johnson, even though Johnson said he did not know his attacker. We represent Khalif, along with solo practitioner Henry DiBenedetto Forrest, in his efforts to obtain a new trial based on the ineffective assistance of his trial counsel in failing to litigate issues going to Khalif ’s innocence, including the unreliability of the eyewitness identifications used at trial and the failure to investigate his alibi.After three days of evidentiary hearings that took place over the course of a year, Khalif’s claims are now ready for decision. Even if Khalif does not succeed in his challenges to his conviction, he, like Montrell Oliver and Robert Outlaw, is a “juvenile lifer” who will be entitled to re-sentencing, as he was 17 at the time of Johnson’s murder.
