Dive deeper into Brenda's compelling innocence
Here is where the claimant admits the weak spots in their case. This is the "flip side" to their narrative.
They put it out there to show they have nothing to hide. They proactively cultivate trust by being transparent.

This serves as a placeholder profile. An actual profile will have a couple of sentences here that summarizes this compelling case of innocence.
This serves as a placeholder profile. An actual profile will present here in about 2000 characters the story how this wrongful conviction happened. It vies context this compelling case of overlooked innocence. And can suggest what is wrong with our current adversarial legal process to repeatedly neglect this miscarriage of justice.

Post-Conviction Journey
Appeal results
Every exonerated person had their case first reviewed by the judicial appeals process. Every time, the panel of judges overlooked the injustice of that miscarriage justice.
The appellate process focuses on procedural standards. Is it possible to faithfully follow every procedural norm and still find an innocent person guilty? Yet, this happens much more frequently than many would like to admit.
Most innocence projects remain under-resourced. Only a handful of lawyers, and often only law students or paralegals, invest hours going through case documents. They don't always find something that can be reversed in court.
They tend to seek something they can trust will have a greater chance of being granted a hearing in court. And has a greater chance for success of a conviction reversal.
They could risk their funding streams if championing cases with a harder, or little, chance to prevail in court. So they tend to serve those "low hanging fruit" cases of greater promise for overturning a wrongful conviction.
Where does this leave the countless souls who are innocent in prison and beyond, who cannot get an innocence litigator to go to bat for them? That's what this Public Exoneration option is for.

Appellate Process
Presents mission creep of prioritizing its institutional needs over the needs of the public.
Innocence Project
Replicates this mission creep when working exclusively within the adversarial legal process.
Public Exoneration
Corrects this mission creep by prioritizing needs over institutionalized adversarial legalism.
After the adversarial options repeatedly fail, the new professional service of need-response counters with a mutual process that responsibly addresses each other's needs. When hate keeps failing to produce desired outcomes, it's time to try the power of love.
I am considering a Public Exoneration campaign. Perhaps my proxy and I will follow another campaign and see how it works out for them.

Tanya Simpson, Claimant's cousin
I was skeptical at first. I mean, how can something outside the official process help my cousin? Then I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing results.
Jonathan Glenn,
Claimant's coworker
I always knew that Claimant was fully innocent of all charges. Now I'm glad to be a part of process that can finally help liberate my friend.
Daniel Walker,
Claimant's father
