Innocence Matters has been serving the innocent since 2007.  We are tireless in our efforts to free the innocent and correct the systemic problems that result in wrongful convictions. We will help all those within our reach and means.  

Our volunteer base is growing at a steady pace. Having witnessed the undying passion and commitment of the many individuals who have rallied for Troy Davis over the past couple years, we are confident that we will have the resources to accomplish wonderful results for a growing number of innocent people.  We welcome new volunteers with open arms. Please inquire today about how you can become a cherished part of Innocence Matters.

The Innocence Matters Mission:

The mission of Innocence Matters is to identify the innocent and help secure their freedom.   Moreover, we seek to dispel the absurd myth that cases like Troy Davis' are flukes - rare, but unavoidable errors inherent in any human endeavor!   The inadequacies and underfunding of the indigent criminal defense system in places like Georgia and the tunnel vision mentality of “defending the conviction” that many prosecutors and courts throughout the states, including California, embrace whenever they are confronted with claims of innocence have undoubtedly contributed to countless other wrongful convictions.  Denial and rationalizations do not serve us well; a system that does not function with integrity will never inspire our confidence.  

Troy Davis’ case is all the more tragic because it was completely preventable.  Until we come to terms with  that reality and acknowledge that Troy's case is far from an aberration other innocent people will surely suffer a similar fate.  Thus, an important component of Innocence Matters’ work is to make sure that the lessons of our past mistakes are not lost on those in a position to reform our justice system.

Our work to prevent other wrongful convictions through education and advocacy for meaningful criminal justice reform is dependent on generous supporters like you.   With your help, we will take on larger scale projects that will expose the system’s persistent failure to protect the innocent and offer solutions to address those problems.

Innocence matters to us.
