Cases
We focus on Texans with credible innocence claims or severely disproportionate sentences. Our docket includes capital and non-capital cases involving discredited forensics, withheld evidence, coerced statements, juvenile offenders tried as adults, and sentences that vastly exceed a person’s actual role or intent. We pair legal strategy with parole and reentry support so relief, when won, is sustainable.
