Nikki continues to fight for her freedom. While she waits, she still has basic needs we can help meet: keeping her website online to share her story, and supporting her commissary so she can afford essentials. Will you stand with Nikki? #innocence #wrongfulconviction

.@freenikkizinger is also waiting for justice in Arkansas. The pardon and parole board voted unanimously to commute her sentence, then Gov. Asa Hutchinson denied her request. @AsaHutchinson @radleybalko open.com/pub/radleybalko/p/s…

These “crimes” included events later determined to be accidents, deaths by suicide, and crimes that were fabricated. #wrongfulconviction #innocence

This isn't because there are fewer #wrongfulconvictions in Arkansas. Rather, this number speaks to the roadblocks the state sets up for doing #innocence work.

Together, the 770+ exonerated former clients of #InnocenceNetwork organizations spent over 12,700 years wrongfully incarcerated. The longest of those wrongful convictions was 47 years. This should shake us to our core and move us to action. #WrongfulConvictionDay
