Our Inspiration:

On September 21, 2011, despite the valiant efforts of so many good people, Georgia's determination to kill Troy ultimately prevailed over reason and truth.
Troy is the inspiration for Innocence Matters and our four-year struggle to make his innocence matter will forever guide our work on behalf of other innocent people.



Our Mission:
Innocence Matters is a nonprofit organization formed in 2010 and dedicated to preventing wrongful convictions and honoring the truth. We provide direct representation for innocent people, though our work is primarily focused on the broader goals of education, prevention and reform. We are particularly interested in improving the quality of indigent defense services and implementing systemic changes that will better protect the innocent and encourage the defense community to more quickly acknowledge and correct errors. Our preventative programs are designed to bring about lasting change and provide a broad toolkit for the innocent and their attorneys.

Our work to prevent wrongful convictions through education and advocacy depends on generous supporters like you. With your help, we can further protect the innocent and bring about meaningful reform.
Your innocence matters to us.
