This blog covers any and all issues-wherever they arise in the world-related to the problem of wrongful conviction of the innocent.
The goals of the blog are to:
- provide a single location on the web where one can go daily to find updated news and commentary relating to wrongful convictions
- spur debate, discussion and learning on the issue
- create a repository where, through time, nearly all media and information about wrongful convictions will be accessible and searchable in one location.

Thank you for stopping by.
Congratulations, Mark Godsey, and thank you for this new forum for the discussion and sharing of information relating to wrongful conviction worldwide. This is a significant contribution to expanding awareness of miscarriages of justice and identifying best practices in criminal justice.
I am currently working with Martin Yant right now on a wrongful conviction case. I was unaware until now, what an ongoing issue this is. Congratulations on your new blog. May it facilitate future awareness, justice and miracles where needed…

We have just revised the No justice for James website and blog about the wrongful conviction if James Rodriguez, sponsoree of NCRJ. We are ecstatic to see a wrongful conviction blog with an esteemed editor and contributing editor panel. We need more sites and blogs to share the personal stories of those who are wrongfully convicted but pled under duress or have no DNA to exonerate them, and must live with the label of the pariah for the rest of their lives.
It is possible to be “guilty”, yet still be a victim of a “wrongful conviction”.
And it can be extraordinarily difficult to overturn the conviction.
Congratulations, great blog!
I have learned of your efforts for justice through the These Stone Walls blog about the wrongful conviction of Catholic priest, Fr. Gordon MacRae, a sponsoree of NCRJ. I echo others who welcome this new forum for justice and truth. Thank you, Mark Godsey, for stepping up.
