A potentially innocent man is set to be executed by Tennessee in the coming weeks even though no physical evidence links him to the crime. We're demanding that the state runs DNA and fingerprint tests that could show Tony Carruthers didn't kill anyone.

BREAKING: We're suing Tennessee for planning to execute Tony Carruthers on May 21 without considering critical DNA evidence that could prove his innocence.

James Broadnax did not kill anyone. Texas is planning to execute him anyway on April 30. We need your help to urge the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Abbott to stop this execution! Sign and share this petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te... @legaldefensefund.bsky.social

Together, the 70+ organizations that make up the #InnocenceNetwork have secured 865 + exonerations to date. And we’re nowhere near finished. This #WrongfulConvictionDay, we recommit to freeing the innocent, preventing wrongful conviction, & supporting people when they come home.

It's #WrongfulConvictionDay and we are so grateful to @mayorwu.boston.gov for recognizing that "wrongful convictions are an injustice that robs an innocent person of their life, liberty, & dignity and has an immeasurable personal, familial, emotional, & societal cost." #mapoli #bospoli

🎉 BREAKING on #WrongfulConvictionDay! TIP client Eric Wright is FREE after nearly 36 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. His release is a moment of celebration—and a reminder of why we fight for justice. 🧵

Today, on Wrongful Conviction Day, we honor those who have suffered from the deep injustices of wrongful convictions. Each case represents not just a lost life, but shattered families and communities. Let us unite to raise awareness and advocate for truth and justice!

Our first #WrongfulConvictionDay event in New Hampshire! We are so grateful to exonerees Scott Hornoff and Kristine Bunch for sharing so much of themselves in order to create change. We must all learn from those most impacted. www.concordmonitor.com/2025/10/02/t...

Today marks the 12th annual Wrongful Conviction Day. Wrongful convictions don’t just harm the innocent—they also deeply impact survivors, families, and entire communities. More than 37,000 people have been harmed by these systemic injustices.

Today is #WrongfulConvictionDay and we are asking for your help. #RobertRoberson’s life is on the line. On Oct. 16, Texas plans to execute him — despite overwhelming medical evidence of his innocence.

Congratulations to our former client Nick McGuffin! Wrongful conviction is expensive, but it costs exonerees and their families most of all. Oregon must do better. We need real accountability from those responsible, not just $. www.opb.org/article/2025...
