Cases we’re supporting.
Each of these cases carries a documented record of unanswered questions — coerced statements, single eyewitnesses, jailhouse informants, recanted testimony, and evidence that went unheard for years. Read the details and weigh the evidence for yourself.

Sentence commuted in 2020 — fighting for full exoneration

Michael Deshawn Gaines
Serving life without parole since a 2003 case — maintains innocence

Steven Kellam
Felony-murder convictions vacated — still held on a 619-year sentence
Convicted in 2017 as the alleged planner of a robbery and home invasion. A judge later vacated his two felony-murder convictions over incorrect jury instructions, yet he remains imprisoned on a 619-year sentence.
James K. Cooper

Gregory Crawford
