Innocence & Justice Louisiana

Today is a great day at IPNO! Our client Jerry Davis was FINALLY exonerated today! 🥳🎉🎊

The State of Louisiana dismissed all criminal charges against Mr. Davis, at last ending Mr. Davis’s nightmare that began over 40 years ago with a false arrest.

Recently, LSU's Wrongful Conviction Clinic appeared in Lincoln Parish to argue a motion for seeking DNA testing of evidence in a 20-year-old conviction. And we won!

Third-year law student Matt Packard played an active role in the proceedings alongside IJLA clinic supervisors.

Early voting starts today, Louisiana, and Cedric Dent says, "Geaux Vote!"

Cedric could not vote for the nearly-25 years he was wrongfully in prison and is now an avid voter.

We're proud to welcome former Governor @JohnBelEdwards to the IJLA Board of Directors. His commitment to public service and criminal legal system reform will strengthen our work to build a more just Louisiana.

8 IJLA exonerees. 233 years lost.

Last week at @du1869's Exonerated Voices event, our clients shared their journeys from wrongful conviction to freedom.

Together, they spent 233 years incarcerated for crimes they didn't commit.
