The Great North Innocence Project frees people convicted of crimes they did not commit and prevents wrongful convictions.
What We Do
GNIP freed client Sherman Townsend
Since its inception in 2001, the Great North Innocence Project has represented people who were wrongfully convicted for crimes they did not commit. We also educate attorneys and criminal justice professionals on best practices, and work to reform the criminal justice system to prevent wrongful convictions and other unjust results in criminal cases.
Our Cases
The Great North Innocence Project has worked to free 13 people who were in prison for crimes they did not commit. These people spent a combined 173 years behind bars due to wrongful convictions.
