There have been many inquiries following high profile wrongful convictions. Morin, Sophonow, Goudge, Milgaard, Driskell, Parson, Dalton and Drunken. Over 450 recommendations have been made. We need change now to save innocent people’s lives. #wrongfulconvictionday

It's #wrongfulconvictionday The strength and will of the wrongly convicted is inspiring. Our exonerees alone have spent over 190 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. The number of years stolen due to wrongful convictions is immeasurable and happen every day.

60 years after Steven Truscott’s conviction, he still waits to be declared innocent. Learn how he was wrongly convicted at the age of 14 and why we must continue to share his, and each wrongly convicted's, story #wrongfulconvictionday https://theconversation.com/the-anniversary-of-steven-trusc…

What have you done to raise awareness on wrongful convictions this year? Why not share our graphic novel, The Jakob Jackson Story, with the teenagers in your life. #wrongfulconvictionday http://innocencecanada.com/a…/Uploads/Jakob-Jackson-2018.pdf

We are looking forward to Wednesday’s program @OsgoodeNews in recognition of #wrongfulconvictionday. Leaders in wrongful conviction work and two exonerees will speak about their experiences with the criminal justice system.

There are many events recognizing the injustices that the wrongly convicted have endured taking place over the next few weeks. Today, @InnocenceOttawa hosts Michael Kassa’s family to raise awareness of the effects of a wrongful conviction. #wrongfulconvictionday

Take action for #wrongfulconvictionday by learning about the injustices that took place which sent our 21 exonerees to prison for crimes they did not commit. Collectively, they have spent more than 190 years in prison. http://innocencecanada.com/exonerations/

Mr. Richards is punished for maintaining his innocence for 25 years. He is eligible for parole, but until he admits guilt, he will likely stay in prison. #innocence https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/duray-appeal-1…

I worked on a few cases of AIDWYC several years ago and their laid back but focused manner worked well for me. It remains among the most rewarding experiences of my life.
