.@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…

33 yrs ago @freenikkizinger was arrested for the murder of her mother. Despite DNA testing that refutes her involvement & a unanimous vote to commute her sentence, Nikki remains behind bars. Please support her journey for justice. #WrongfulConvictionDay linktr.ee/freenikkizinger

A judge dismissed a murder charge against @GaInnocence client Joey Watkins, ending a decades-long legal fight to exonerate him. Joey, who spent more than 20 years in prison, "cried like a baby" upon being told that his charges were dropped. cbsn.ws/46o8SFl

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

Private prison communications companies are known for charging often exorbitant amounts for phone calls, even within the same area code. A growing movement is abolishing the practice.

This is great start! The police defintely shouldn't be lying to young suspects in interrogations. But adults too can be gaslit into signing false confessions. Let's hope the push to prevent lying to minors leads to a blanket ban on police deceit in interrogations.
Excited to share with you an op-ed that I wrote for @TeenVogue in which I argue that the police should not be allowed to lie to young suspects in interrogations.
